I've read your posts. You're absolutely convinced that your opinion is relevant. Who says yours is any more or less relevant than the author of this piece?

Oh, that's right. His has been published. Yours is... posted on City-Data.

I'm pretty sure I know which has more relevance. Not that that's saying much, but someone needs to chip away at that pedestal you've placed yourself on...

Somewhat related since a British opinion was posted. This is an editorial page piece in today's Washington Post detailing President Obama's lack of a personal relationship with other leaders.

Hey! If you want to believe some Brit's opinion in a right leaning Brit rag is somehow close to reality that's your problem, not mine.

I haven't read your posts, doesn't look like I've been missing much.

The british never respected Bush, so of course they respect Obama even less.

Of course if he had personal relationships with other leaders there'd be whining en masse he was kissing up

YEP! Let's defend this Brit (who the OP identified as a New Yorker), fits right in with the "Fair and Balanced" crowd, eh?

Yeah and the reality that the author's opinion gets world-wide attention.

I guess you haven't noticed that Ahmanutjob from Iran gets world-wide attention too, eh? Too busy following barrage balloon reports?

Well gee, Obama's opinion has been published fare more than this Brit's lately, I guess in your mind that now makes him far more relevant, right?
