Again, it's not your media or even your general Americans - they seem very clued-up! I should also point out that I was worried about the rhetoric and asked on Yahoo Answers (yeah, yeah, I know) what New Orleanians thought of us, and they told me that they adored the British and don't blame us, so I'm very happy with that.

Like you and mothergoddamn, I'm really disappointed in Obama. I can't believe his childish rhetoric or the finger-pointing. Just do something, Obama! Fuck the fines - please help with the clean-up!

More than that, I have been reading more and more about Obama's perceived anti-British stance (read about the Winston Churchill bust incident). Not impressed.
