Obama , Following in the British Tradition

I find it surprising that Obama is showing such disdain for the British.
He returns the bust of Churchill , and gives Prime Minister Gordon a gift  of movie DVD's which, in light of Gordon's gift of a pen set carved from the wood of a famous British battleship,proves the old adage that it's not the gift , but the thoughtlessness that counts.
Actually' Obama should like the British; first, he seems bound and determined to emulate their tax system from the 1700's ; and secondly' his method of dealing with mideastern terrorists is similar to another Gordon; the British hero, General Charles Gordon.
In 1883, the General  volunteered to be sent to Khartoum ,Sudan , where thousands of civilians were being threatened by Muslim fanatics; led by a man simply called the Mahdi.
Like Obama, Gordon thinks he can walk on water and just say the magic words that will just melt the radical terrorists hearts and solve the problem . Like Obama, the General fails to understand that the Mahdi is following  Allah's will ,and therefore all the infidels within the city walls must be slaughtered in accordance with that will. The massacre was carried out and the great miracle worker Gordon died a hero's death trying to defend the beseiged city.
A life sized bronzed statue of General Gordon on horseback still stands in England , a tribute to his courage , not to mention his arrogance and stupidity.
Since Obama sent back the bust of Churchill , perhaps PrimeMinister Gordon should send him the statue of Gen. Gordon to replace it; since Obama seems determined to follow in the Generals footsteps, and he sure ain't no Chuchill, that's for sure.
In fact,it may be the only way to save his God like image , as his presidency continues to fail under his spendulous " plan which is bankrupting the country. He could make that trip to the middle east to emulate Gordon , fall like a British hero, while trying to "reason" with Bin Laden in Afghanistan. Who knows? He might even get a bronze statue of himself out of it , maybe even on horseback! After all, never let it be said that we forget our heroes!
