Why is Britain in love with "Bay-rek O'bama"

[Voltage]

Is it because he placates their sense of colonial white guilt? Yesterday he became the first president in American history to be invited to address both houses of the British parliament habartii Michelle xataa odeygii Prince Phillip baa shukaansi kala daalay

Baracka is a cool, witty, intelligent, black man. That's why they like him. Obama has style sxb. Don't hate.

[Voltage]

I am definitely not hating. He definitely has style and charisma and no man alive could deliver a speech like he can, but Europeans and in particular the British fawn over him even more than the American public did when they were electing him. I just find it interesting.

[kadarre]

no Voltage Obama has put America on the map again for a lot of nations.

I think alot of the younger generation can relate to Obama, he is not your typical politician, he is warm, witty and charming, loves basketball, listen to Jay-z, so who can resist him.

They had 8 years of George W which was frighting
and they were simply relived that the US had a normal leader,
someone they could relate to...

Im pretty sure hillary would have received the same treatment if not more.

I just finished watching the entire speech on Youtube. Well, not entirely, i confess, i just kinda brilliantly skipped here and there, just enough to catch the texture of all of it. I must say, i am slightly disappointed at the speech for lacking good jokes. He made one single joke in the beginning and that was it. A good joke nevertheless. I wish i wrote the jokes for him. The speech was brilliant, very poetic and brilliant as the woman who spoke after him stated. I must also note on the length of the applause to be quite amazing. Cameron actually teared up as he gently clapped his small hands like a true gentle and weak brit will do. Ladies and gentlemen--the moral of this story is --send your children to Harvard. I know i will. (even though my children education will benefit the marehaan brethrem and not my dear kinfolks -the great Habar Yonis oo baad dhulbaahante, i must muster some unqabilist strength. )


I must also comment I was not pleased with the Queen of England --the old witch disssed our Obama as he did his mishap in the tossing of the queen while the uk anthem was playing.(Which should mark as a lesson of his skickyness.U cant always be cool and go fast. Take it easy Mr. President.) FK the rules. Jesus--the man was standing there-she totally pretended she didnt even see him, cold, ---help him out, gereeez!


I guess this is a token of the british people--they are the most un-emotional souls u can get walle. Thats why i relate to them. All brains and no heart.

They know they'll never have a black prime minister so they're enjoying the colour he brings.

[Archerr]

Pastor Uncle Ruckus Manning is right in this instance.

[Lord Diplock]

Am sure the media loves him, not sure the typical British person cares about Obama. I find him annoying.

that observation might be absolutely correct.
