Obama Sells UK Ambassadorship For $2.3 Million

Barack Obama insults Britain again, with a shameless nomination of top donor as US Ambassador to London

What’s the going rate for the US ambassadorship to London? Apparently around $2.3 million, judging by President Obama’s latest appointment to the Court of St. James’s, the most prestigious diplomatic posting in the world for a US official. This is the amount personally raised by Matthew Barzun, the chief fundraiser (finance chairman) for Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, which raked in $730 million in total. Mr Barzun, an internet businessman, was handpicked by the White House to be Obama’s representative in London, despite the fact he has no connection to modern-day Britain and his main qualification for the job appears to be that he has been an effective “bundler” for Barack Obama’s two successful presidential election campaigns.

    It would be hard for Obama to insult the British any worst than FDR did when he installed the Democrat Fat Cat Fund Raiser Joseph Kennedy Sr. in London. Joe Kennedy Sr. was not only an Irish Independence champion but an ardent Irish man and a believer in the final victory of Nazi Germany. But we must give O an “E” for effort.

      Excellent point about the corrupt Kennedy who bootlegged his way to financial success and was unspeakably cruel to his daughter Rosemary not long after he left his post in Great Britain in disgrace …

      Wikipedia: “In 1941, when Rosemary was 23, doctors told her father that a new neurosurgical procedure, lobotomy, would help calm her mood swings and sometimes-violent outbursts.[11] Joseph P. Kennedy decided that Rosemary should have the lobotomy performed, but did not inform Rose until afterwards. At the time, relatively few lobotomies had been performed; James W. Watts, who carried out the procedure with Walter Freeman, described what happened:

      “We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch.” The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. “We put an instrument inside,” he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord’s Prayer or sing “God Bless America” or count backwards. … “We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded.” … When she began to become incoherent, they stopped.[12]”

    I hope Barzun realizes that if Brits attack the embassy, he’s on his own.

    Well, Kenya once was a British colony, so do the math. It’s payback time!
