Only took 237 years, but Britian got the USA back for the Boston Tea Party, "The Gulf Oil Spill."

Can you imagine the anti-US rhetoric if the situation was reversed?

The chairman of one of the Britain’s largest insurers accused U.S. President Barack Obama of “double standards,” contrasting the president’s heated rhetoric against BP and its chief executive officer Tony Hayward with his milder treatment of top U.S. bankers during the recent financial crisis

I guess "Mr. Chairman" forgot that the financial crisis happened with Bush at the helm, not Obama.

Nah, Obama has been a pussy with the banks and Wall St as well. Don't know if the Brits are really being any tougher though - everybody seems to have rushed to socialize losses, as usual.
