I took it tongue in cheek, as I believe it was intended, and my only real problem with it is that 1) it indeed shows that the rest of the world powers are laughing at the USA today because of our elected leadership (at, not with); and 2) thinking about what the response of BO would be if he received a formal communication from Her Majesty advising that the independence of the USA was indeed revoked (tongue firmly in cheek), I fear he would ask, "Do you prefer sugar and/or milk in your tea, Madam??"
