Attached is a link to a TimesonLine article about President-Elect Obama, and how his grandfather was arrested by the British in Kenya during the Mau Mau:

The author speculates that this might effect President-Elect Obama's attitude towards the special relationship between the U.S. and Great Britain. As an American of English decent, I have always been proud of the relationship between the U.S. and Great Britain (leaving out the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 - when you set fire to the White House).

I think that the author is hyping the issue somewhat, but I wanted the prespectives of other members, esspecailly those from Britain. Britain along with Australia has been the best allies America has had and I think I that it should stay that way.

Thanks
