Elections are about the future not the past. Bush would have never been elected a second time if it was about the past. Time will tell if folks have confidence in Obama again. Newt seems to think he can drive again...

I think part of Churchill's problem was that he wanted to contintue England's policy of colonialism. He tried to enlist FDR's support in his effort keep English colonies under their control but failed.
The English people were very sympathetic towards Ghandi and India's nonviolent revolution. I guess maybe Churchill was passed over by the tide of history.
Part of Obama's animosity towards the UK has to do with the fact that Kenya (his father's birthplace and possibly his own) was a colony of the United Kingdom until 1963. Obama was a dual citizen at birth, United States and United Kingdom and Colonies.
