#2 O could have learned a whole lot from Winston Churchill. Winston may have been an empire guy, but he knew a lot and he had a lot to teach, if only people listened.

#6 The State mouth-piece kept repeating we acknowledge competing claims. For clarification, those claims are from a collection of Latin American leftist thugs. So once again, this administration refuses to back an ally but does contortions not to insult those that routinely engage in anti-US rants. Go figure.

#8 "we acknowledge competing claims"

At least California serves a purpose in electoral college votes to keep Mexico City 'claims' to most of the Southwest from being similarly entertained. Can't afford to give up all those votes and ~~graft~~ campaign cash.

#11 He is only a hypocrite to those rubes that somehow didn't notice the onslaught of petty insults hurled in the direction of England since 2008. He is actually fairly consistant

#12 Except Obama said NOTHING about the Falklands. His statement was about the Maldives.
