Obama set for change in US/UK relations
June 17th, 2008 | by Tim Perkins
People in England should welcome Barack Obama’s call for a ‘re-calibration’ of US-UK relations so they become more equal. In his telephone address to US expatriates in London, Senator Obama confirmed the view of British Government officials that he is the most pro-British of the three Presidential candidates.

The recent comments are the clearest indication yet of a potential sea-change in Anglo-American relations if Mr.Obama is elected in November. Unqestionably, the ’special relationship’ that has dured between our two Countries since the World Wars, has been placed under strain by Tony Blair’s unquestioning support of President George W.Bush during the Iraq War.

With an end to the ”Yo Blair” era, comes an opportunity to build a new epoch of economic, diplomatic and cultural links to advance the democratic values we both share.
