Ambassodorship to Britain Given to Sycophant

Another great post over at Legal Insurrection points out that Obama has trashed our special relationship with Britian by appointing a crony rather than a skilled diplomat as America's ambassodor to Great Britian.

Barack Obama has been embroiled in a cronyism row after reports that he intends to make Louis Susman, one of his biggest fundraisers, the new US ambassador in London.

The selection of Mr Susman, a lawyer and banker from the president's hometown of Chicago, rather than an experienced diplomat, raises new questions about Mr Obama's commitment to the special relationship with Britain.

American commentators denounced the selection of a rich friend to the plumb post, regarded as one of the most prestigious in the president's gift, as worthy of a "banana republic".


Personally at this point, I would be completely understand if Britain decides to have nothing more to do with Obama's administration.

Obama's actions toward the UK have been insulting and incredibly stupid.
