Misleading title is misleading.

Eight pages and it doesn't look like too many people actually read what he said :idea:

If you read what Obama actually said, then you should already know what is misleading in the title.

They're both epitomes of decadence and the consequences of capitalism.

Mr Obama said: 'We don't have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.

I can assure any UK users on this site that the people of the United States do not agree with the President. We love you. And Australia :oops:

As much as we like to have tissy fits over which country is better, there is no better "man crush" relationship than between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Obama, I am dissapoint.

ok, i get the daily mail hate, fine, but do you think they could really get away with making up bull about the president of US with no flak?

The Guardian reported it also.

I don't really get what Obama's beef with the Brits is. But that looks silly.

ITT: International politics=petty high school drama.

Also ITT: Newspaper with less credibility than a tabloid is treated as a reliable and respectable source of information.

ooooohhhhhh compliment a country, be careful!!! It means the rest are all scum and you only like that one, the way people are reacting it seems that way. Because you call someone your "best friend" isn't putting down anyone else who might be your "friend"

But Britain really is our BFF. It isn't even a matter of debate. The "special relationship" is one of the closest alliances ever held between two nations. And Obama just...walked away. They gave him all they had and he tossed it in the trash, he tossed it in the trash, he did...

Britain, Australia, and Canada are way cooler than France. And Japan keeps a steady stream of Nintenders coming to America. So they're pretty cool.

I think it would have been more accurate if he had called France Obama's best friend, rather than the US's best friend.

Good god, people can be such flipping idiots on this forum.

You guys act as if he said the sky is green or declared that eating babies is okay.

He didn't say that France was the best ally, he just said that there are no greater allies, which you may not agree with, but is hardly any reason for anger.

The people who are getting mad at this are either irrational nationalists with their panties in a bunch or people who wanted another excuse to hate on Obama.

Obama y u iz dumbdarkfox101

He was President of the Harvard Law Review. A dumb person doesn't get that position.

If you think he is dumb because of a political comment he made, well, let's just say that is not very intelligent.

It's a case of not checking very well: A) What was actually said and B) The source and its reliability. Had people done that, they'd have seen a very tabloid and unreliable newspaper turned an innocuous remark probably made at every diplomatic summit (seriously, we have no better friend/ally must be baseline) into a media circus. To be honest though, one notices many posters on these forums simply allow the topic title to dictate their understanding.

I agree. People are so knee-jerk on this forum, especially if they dislike the politician in question.
