After all the spin, all the press releases, all the proud announcements in the House that he saved the world, the truth finally hits home.
A private conference between the two of them? No chance.
A public press briefing, Obama and Brown side by side? Don't make the White House laugh.
Obama will only talk to Gordon in passing, in a kitchen - after being cornered, no doubt. That is what Brown has reduced this country to. Economically crippled, diplomatically ignored, militarily overstretched.
Constantly Furious puts it wonderfully - Gordon is the sad old bloke in the corner who no-one wants to talk to.
Get out, Gordon. You're embarrassing us.
(Update - The Daily Mash has a very good angle on the story, too)
