Amongst many normal american people there is an affection for the UK and i personally experienced it many times when i was in the US but politically that isn't the case. Despite all the people who hail obama as some sort of saviour the man is an individualistic oppurtunist and has no real allegiance to anyone or anything and i don't and never have felt he was the warm caring person many would like us to believe.

Bush i think had more affection for the UK and made maximum use of it partly aided by a PM who also had an agenda beyond that of the interests of the UK. But i do think the time has come for the UK to back away from the US for a bit and only partner where there is a clear benefit for us in doing so unlike the recent past where the benefit has been all oneway.
