from the comic you postedamericanheroalJune 21 2010, 20:00:31 UTC
Thanks for the comic posting on usxuk
I posted this response there about the news clip you shared but thought it would be better to share it here...
Its not happy news anyways ;_;
And then the oils spill happens and Obama practically wages war against England...
The BBC reports of Barack Obama’s speech last night are about as derisive as it would be possible to be about someone you were describing only a few months ago as the incarnation of Hope and Optimism. Yes indeed, the romance is over. The British media have decided that it was all a cruel deception: Obama is just one more ranting populist president who will do anything to divert attention from his own failure to get a grip. And this is not just about BP and the fate of all those pension funds.
Nor is it simply the demonising of Big Oil - which makes the US president sound as if he were recruiting his speech writers direct from the student union - that has evoked the UK media’s collective sneer. What has been much commented upon - especially by those fastidiously liberal BBC correspondents - is Obama’s pointedly bellicose language: the US is apparently engaged in a “battle” to be waged in very personal, anthropomorphic terms “against an oil spill that is assaulting” its coast. Considering how relentlessly the Bush “war on terror” was ridiculed, how long will it take before the Obama “war on an oil slick” is labelled as absurd? Given the tone of this morning’s coverage, perhaps not very long at all.

Ghaaa--- sorry for the late reply |D LJ refuses to send me any emails about comments, so I often don't even notice them 8,D
Yeah, I saw your comment on the comic post and was already wondering where it had gone XD"" But I think it's really better to post it in here, or else there would have been a lot of discussions and broken fangirl hearts again |||D" I'm not too sure what to think about this one now.. might be the media just overreacting.. I want to believe they are. Seriously, this fandoms not good for my heart XDDDDDDD"" Plus, it sounds really awful in a non-fandom way too.. graah.. They'll just be fine. I KNOW.
