[Clio the Leo]

On MSNBC or CSPAN or your medium of choice..... if you're in need of a pick me up, this will do it!

WHOLE lot of "Barack Obama is the most wonderful person on Earth and the only thing greater than him are the American People as a whole" stuff!!!

It will def. make you feel good about yourself and the country you live in.

1. "Almost every Briton has a tie to the American continent...."

wow ... hadn't thought of that before.

13. Yes, that is why - despite GWB - the relationship IS special.

And we speak the same language, watch the same television programs and movies, listen to the same music.

We watch different sports. But that's changing.

But, because they are parliamentarians, they have a tendency to underestimate presidents who do not have that experience. They certainly underestimated Clinton and John Major ate his words and wildly praised Bubba's intelligence and what it was like to work with him on foreign affairs.

In the case of Brown and Obama, Obama didn't impress too many folks on his quick London visit last summer. I happened to be there at the time. Accurately or inaccurately, Obama was quoted as telling Brown to lighten up and not to sweat the details. This gave the English public the impression that Obama was a shallow guy. Brown's statements today are probably an effort to combat that image and to share a bit of Obama's darshan.
