Coming from someone who says the American constitution was written 20 centuries ago.

Finally he does something right.

Not surprising. Obama himself is a fake.

If the country survives his leadership he will be remembered for a lot of things. None of them any good.

And yet, surprisingly, still better than an iPod full of Obama speeches.

I'm not sure who should be more offended: Iran, or England.

Obama is a Sunni Muslim the Iranians Shiite.
Another of Obama's little jokes.

Besides they are authentic and cost less than 30 UK pounds!

As my Grandmother used to say about cheap frauds: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear".

Folks this was a well thought out coded message to Iran regarding the US. Didn't you notice the griffin has a chicken's head on it instead of the head of an eagle?

I think you are giving more credit to the US government than they deserve. No I don't think the Obama Admin realized this is a fake. Yes I believe they thought this was a gesture of good will.

The US Government is a an example of the Peter Principle in an observable form. Quite embarrassing.

In my own post on the subject, I added something that FrontPage had missed: Most Muslims are not too big on "graven images" -- especially graven images that are part of a pagan religion.

So, if I were sending Iran a gift to win their favour, I wouldn't send them a silver griffin.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
