As for our scumbag politicians here stooping to any low to deflect and distract from their own foibles, they do not need to go as far afield as Great Britain since they have plenty of domestic bashing at their disposal as this new advert for His reelection shows:

Well at least the Republicans stick rigorously to independently-verified facts, refrain from character assassination and would never dream of using emotive appeals or encouraging sectarian interests.

And the Democratic leader of the Senate would never make baseless claims about felonious conduct by the Republican Presidential candidate, and then say "the burden of proof is on him to prove he didn't do it," a breathtakingly different concept of the justice system from the one they taught me about in grade school.

Hes 100% right though. Obama does have some problem with you Brits. His family tales of Grandpappy being tortured as a Mau Mau which is of course bullshit but came from family. But do try and make anyone who doesnt fellate obama into Beck or Limbaugh followers, maybe try to claim we are all KKK als well.

F*ck him. The Americans could be squared off pretty easily:

1) We're not buying your nukes anymore

2) We're withdrawing our intelligence cooperation

3) Get your bases off of our territories

4) Fight your own god damned wars

You watch them come to heed. Or, at least, that's what Tony Benn told me.

There were some interesting shennanigans with the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Apparently Barney Franks lover Herb Moses was an Officer at Fannie (hired by Gerald Macmurray a former Frank staffer)and with every loosening of federal restrictions which Barney had some oversight of his loverboy got a Bonus so they both lived on. Add to that the Black Congress caucus refusing to hold Franklin Raines accountable and calling critiscism of his business as racist didnt help. Heres video that would make you want to shoot Frank, Waters, Meeks denying anything was wrong while the federal Overseer BEGS for increased oversight.

Bill Clinton even gives his opinion

Given that my British brothers are not watching US Olympic coverage there I should note that Obama and supportive PAC's are spending millions and millions on ads during Olympic coverage attacking Romney. Lots on his company, Bain, closing facilities and laying people off. Some of the firms mentioned were about to go bankrupt and Bain's layoffs kept the company alive instead of the company being liquidated and all employees losing jobs.

Are they fucking demented? They voluntary came here at a run as the regulation ("light-touch", remember that?) was so dogshit as to be verging on lawless. If you think I'm exaggerating, look at the latest money-laundering scandals.

Ahhh!

It seems the Dem is only expecting the GOP to abide by its own rules.

Didn't BushII/Cheney/Rumsfeld et al demand that Saddam prove he wasn't making or stockpiling WMD?

Maybe you were taught wrong or you have failed to grasp that your politicians, of all colors, have a habit of making up things as they go along assuming the US masses will be too daft to spot what they're doing.

Blaming the nasty foreigner is a popular game in election years and not just in the US. Look at the whole 'oh, it's currency manipulation that stops us, not innate structural problems' mindset.

It's not as if a politician seeking (re)election is ever going to tell the voters, "The problem is simple - it's you!"

If it's been sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk then I'm probably pissed.
