CONGRATULATIONS MISTER OBAMA May I add my personal congratulations to Mr.Obama on his achievement in being reappointed for a second term to the position of U.S.President, undoubtedly the most position of power in the world. From a Scottish perspective we would look forward to joining your great nation as free and Democratic country after our referendum in 2014.Whilst appreciating that open support for our cause as a result of political expediency will not be within your remit, we would certainly hope that you will pay due respect to our nation, I have on occasion actually heard you mix your references up contextually when alluding to the English/British situation. You must keep in mind the “Historical Special Relationship” that exists between our two great nations, and the part, some would say, your ancestors played in forming the framework for what has become the most powerful nation on the planet. Whilst appreciating that you have no control over what is said or written in the American media. I would draw your attention to an editorial written in the Washington Post 30th October, in which the general tenor of the content was totally negative to the concept of Scottish independence. This scurrilous feature will induce me to respond by writing an e-mail remonstrating with the Editor to remind him of the “DEBT”America owes to all the people of Scottish origin who helped in the composition of the America Declaration of Independence. My intention is to rally support for a petition to this newspaper to come to grips with the reality of an inevitable “YES “vote in our 2014 referendum, and as a consequence Scotland will become a “Nuclear Free Nation”. I earnestly hope that among the petitioners will be the “MANY” wonderful facebook friends I have in America. .
