Nice to piss in the face of one of our closest allies... yet again. Twice in a month; pretty good.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-life-U-S-Congress-muted-reception-Obama.html
The Prime Minister's first official meeting with the new President fell short of the lavish welcomes laid on in recent years.
But there was no family get-together, nor did the President offer Mr Brown and his wife Sarah a star-studded White House dinner.
And instead of the traditional joint press conference, the Prime Minister was instead given an impromptu media briefing in the Oval Office.
British officials tried to counter the rumours by pointing out that Mr Brown was the first European leader to be invited to Washington.
Over Mr Brown's shoulder was another reminder of the change in Britain's influence in the Oval Office.
A bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln, the 19th century president Mr Obama considers his political hero, now sits where a bust of Winston Churchill previously held pride of place.
Must be saving his political capital (that he is spending quickly) for the Russians, Iranians, and Palestinian terroristas.
LOL... The Lincoln bust? Obama has about as much in common with Lincoln as Michelle has with being proud of America.
