#3 "I feel I can bring Europe and America closer together for the future, Brown said, in an interview with CBS News broadcast on Tuesday.

The arrogance of that one statement is astounding. He's trying to take credit for things happening in *Europe* (instead of just his nation) already. Let's see, what's happened in the last year or two?

* Germany elects a "Pro-American" leader.
* France elects a "Pro-American" leader.
* Italy elects a "Pro-American" leader.

Heck, even the Netherlands/Amsterdam, ground-zero of multi-culti/LLL/Kum-ba-ya feelings, seems like *war-mongers* now, in light of the Islamization of Europe. Brown's only jumping on board a ship that left the harbor years ago.

#4 Why does this remind me of Monty Python's Oscar Wilde sketch?

#5 will use his visit to warn against protectionism in the U.S. and call anew for international-level supervision of the financial markets.

International-level? Does that mean he wants the UN to supervise Wall Street? And what about protectionism by the EU? Monty Python is always appropriate somehow, Pappy. ;-)

#6 Gee, I don't see the Left, the marxists, or the dame stream media raising objection one, about how this looting jerk was selected, not elected, to finish the job of destroying Britain in general, and British sovereignty in particular. He's, as quietly as possible ceding British foreign policy to the Euro "Union", without a public referendum. They've learned that these treasonous ideas will get the ever lovin shit kicked out of them in referendum, so they conveniently skip that part from now on. Just the way the the left wants it: a two fer; illegally take power away from the governed, hand it over to an unelected body, then destroy the legal precedent that forbids the very act in the first damn place, in the process.
Damn these devils. Go back to hell, and stay there

#7 If Brown's Britain is the best we can do for allies, we've got real problems. They're the best Europe has to offer and, truth be told, they aren't worth much. See Basra for proof.

The fine men and women of the British military sure deserve better than to be led by Brown's cowardly lot.

#8 I watched part of his speech. He said His most important job is to, "Make people feel safer". Nothing about actually making people safer, just making them feel safer. After all, it is about feelings!
