So Barack Obama finished his tour of the UK recently, the one which was partially meant to try and re-affirm what great bum buddies the UK and the US are. As always, I give my praise to Obama, because he constantly does shit right. I'm not certain as to whether this is just in comparison to the terms of George Bush, but whatever the case, I'm a fan.
This is because Obama simply states it as it is and takes it without fuss. He downplays the 'special relationship' that Blair and Bush endorsed, as they cheekily patted each other on the arse, and instead focuses on the 'important relationship', or "essential" relationship, rather, which suggests something of actual substance instead of just a big PR win.Obama is good at the whole public image thing, but I genuinely feel this must have been a bit much for him. When he's in the States, he at least has the solace of familiarity and real achievement; his tour of the UK involved a ceremonial banquet at Buckingham Palace which harked back to the British imperialist bullshit that probably crushed his ancestors, before having to flip burgers with Tory Dave, a conservative as well as a McCain 2008 supporter.
I'm sure there's some witty slavery caption in here somewhere.My favourite favourite thing however is Obama's signing of a guest book at Westminster, with the date "24 May 2008". There have since sprung up thousands of angry and confused comments to the tune of "ZOMG OBAMA GOT DA WRONG DATE IS HE GAY OR WOT?", my favourite one incidentally being "As if Obama isn’t a complete and utter embarrassment enough already. The dumbass in chief popped off to England today and signed the Westminster Abbey Guest Book with the date of 24 may 2008."
He's only human, dickwads. George Bush wouldn't have known which way to hold the pen.
