Above: John Kerry's remarks as reported on the Irish Times website.
I wish John Kerry had not used the phrase "special relationship" when visiting London - it is a patronising and outmoded expression.
Also, speaking personally, I am not all that sure I want to have a special relationship with the Obama administration. Individual Americans I like (mostly), and generally I am well disposed towards America as a country. But the American government I am not so sure about.
"Working relationship" maybe. Or "realistic relationship". But it ceased to be special some time ago.
Anyway Obama administration, I thought there were all those Asian countries you were buddying up to? ("Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye..." etc).
