Ever notice how Obama only offends our long-time allies like Israel and Britain?
(Daily Mail) — Just a few weeks ago, Barack Obama hailed the ‘extraordinarily special relationship’ between America and Britain.
But it is clearly one he doesn’t know all that much about if his latest foreign policy gaffe is anything to go by.
The U.S. President has come under fire today after referring to the ‘English’ instead of the British Embassy in his condemnation of the violence that broke out at the building in Iran yesterday.
In an interview yesterday, Mr Obama said: ‘All of us are deeply disturbed by the, err, crashing of, err, the English Embassy, err, the embassy of the United Kingdom.’
By calling it the ’embassy of the United Kingdom’, he got it wrong a second time.
It appears there has never been an English Embassy, although there have been English ambassadors centuries ago.
