The U.K. Express<\/a> posted an article yesterday about President Obama’s<\/a> visit to the United Kingdom<\/a>. The article included some interesting observations:<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

But senior Tory Iain Duncan Smith<\/a> said it was \u201cstrange\u201d for the president to advocate a surrender of power to Brussels that Americans would never accept.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Cabinet minister<\/a> said: \u201cI have a huge amount of respect for America\u2019s unrelenting commitment to the patriotic principle of self-governance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Obama and his predecessors have ferociously protected the sovereignty<\/a> of the USA<\/a> and I wish we could say the same of our leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I do find strange is that he is asking the British people to accept a situation that he patently would not recommend to the American population.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I do find strange is that he is asking the British people to accept a situation that he patently would not recommend to the American population.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Cabinet minister is overlooking one basic fact. Regardless of whether or not President Obama was actually\u00a0born in America (just for the record, I believe he was), he does not represent the basic values of America.\u00a0President Obama does not have a lot of respect for American sovereignty. He has allowed the United Nations<\/a> to dictate American policy regarding refugees from Syria<\/a>, and he has supported United Nations\u00a0treaties that would clearly undermine American sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution<\/a>. I think his stand on the United Kingdom and the European Union<\/a> is perfectly consistent with his core beliefs. Because of the legacy of his father regarding the British, he sees both Britain and America as imperialistic countries. There is nothing in his background that has taught him to respect or value the sovereignty of western countries.<\/p>\n

This is another example of President Obama moving away from the friends of America. He has not treated the British with the respect they deserve since he took office. Hopefully the next American President will repair the damage President Obama has\u00a0done to our relationships with our allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
