Re: Game changer....
Diplomatic Warning
Britain's ambassador to Washington has called Barack Obama "uninspiring" and "decidedly liberal."
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reports Sir Nigel Sheinwald wrote Prime Minister Gordon Brown a seven-page letter in July shortly before Obama's visit to London. The letter was leaked to the press reading, "He can talk too dispassionately... about issues which touch people personally, for example his notorious San Francisco comments about small town Pennsylvania 'clinging' to guns and religion."
Sheinwald also expressed concern about Obama's stance on Iran, saying, "We will need to consider with him the articulation between (a) his desire for 'unconditional' dialogue with Iran and (b) our and the United Nations Security Council's requirement of prior suspension of enrichment before the nuclear negotiations proper can begin."
There are now calls for Sheinwald to resign. The British embassy is trying to limit any damage, saying, "We are totally neutral as far as the American elections are concerned."
