Here is some of the nuanced diplomacy of the Obama administration (emphaisis mine):

The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key.

The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying: "There's nothing special about Britain. You're just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn't expect special treatment."

Who knew Hope^TM and Change^TM meant snubbing countries who are nice to us and sucking up to countries who want to wipe us off the map?  Oh, right, just 48% of Americans.

(h/t)

Update:  Apparently this was already written about (see comment #2).  I really should start reading this blog or something.
