How do you clean up Bush's mess by creating tension with one of our best allied because of blatant disrespect and arrogance? Maybe Obama should reevaluate that strategy. No pun intended but Obama is Bush league. He shouldn't be president of the PTA let alone the USA.

Its called anger at attention being paid to bulls**t. And yes if someone thinks this is an important example of Obama not doing his job, they are a jizzbag. If my words upset you I'm sorry... That your sensitive.
