“the president referred in stumbling fashion to the “English Embassy” in Iran instead of the British Embassy”

You’d think a Kenyan would know that.
You went there?
Inevitable.
Actually, I’m betting the reason Columbia accepted a third-year transfer from Occidental with a lackluster academic record is because he used his dual citizenship to claim a foreign student slot from Indonesia. Which would be perfectly legal, except that once a person over 18 with dual citizenship takes any overt action to select one country (like registering to vote, or taking a scholarship for Indonesian students), he has made an irrevocable designation of that country as his sole citizenship.
Just a theory.
It is worse than that. He’s calling on the Iranians to make the “students” accountable or responsible, when everyone knows they are there because the regime wants them there. This is no illegal demonstration any more than the US Embassy in 1979. We had a spineless weasel President then, too.
But they are violating British rights because the UK has cut the Iranian regime off from their international banking. The US could do the same, with even greater effect.
If we had a President with a set, I mean.
Just too good a setup, couldn’t pass it up.
One doesn’t have to be born in Kenya to BE a Kenyan.
Embassy takeovers is the Iranian equivalent of going to Occidental and transferring to Columbia.
There is something to be said for the Iranians storming a western embassy and Obama as President of the United States.
And who dismisses history repeating itself?
He is like a gelding Jimmy Carter. If that is even possible.
In all fairness, “England / English” and “Britain / British” are synonymous to many Americans. I know the difference and often make the error myself.
I can only suppose that he was trying to speak without TOTUS before him; one would think that he would have learned by now what a mistake that is.
It might have also been intentional. The English do dominate Britain, pretty much.
‘Gelding’? I bet Reggie Love and Kal Pen diagree.
Thank the Good Lord.
Why should he start learning from his mistakes now at age fifty? He never has in the past.
