Truth will out

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)

  1. "But I'm World Statesman of the Year!"

    Classic.

    Other countries used to have a kind of grudging respect for this country. How many decades will it take us to repair this damage?

  3. He is the bloke in the pub from the fast show..

    "You the President are you. I used to do a bit of the world statesman myself. Hardest game in the world that is.."
    And rattles on while Obama nods smiles and makes a cup a soup before saying "Excuse me" and walking out the room
