See Gordon Brown squirm a bit on this one, and Obama struggle to answer politely...

    Yes the Gordy lucky day OBAMA admits it, but then it was the Bush lot to blame :D Gordy looks like he is smiling to me.

    I think Obama is just being polite to GB, but secretly crossing the slimey two-faced toe-rag off his Christmas card list .....

    :D

    Exactly. It doesn't cost Obama to say that much of the problems stem from the US - its exactly what he has said on the campaign trail and continues to say to Republicans.

    Had Obama been Bush then they might have been embarrasment. What - do some of you think this is the first time Obama has heard of what Brown has been saying? Are his political advisers so dumn as not to pick up on it?

    Another classic non-story from the Brown-haters.

    Another post by the labour activist which completely misses the point....again.

    I suppose your glasses don't allow you to see Brown standing there, with an embarrased smile on his face, nervously moving back and forth on his feet.

    That was so funny, I was listening to it on Five live, Brown says

    "I would like to introduce you to my friends in the Britsh media"

    Cue Nick Robinson to kick him swiftly in the gonads.:rotfl:

    Dead right, but apparently our illustrious leader thinks Nick is a top bloke, which of course he is, for asking that question. Obama answered very well in the circumstances but I still think that when he gets back on Air Force One, he will think, t*at.:D

    I always think that Obama's body language when he is around Brown is that he can't wait to move away from him, in case some of the s*it sticks to him.

    At work - haven't seen it. But you're all studiously ignoring the blindingly obvious fact that Obama knows fully well what Brown has been saying about America and politically has nothing to lose by agreeing with it.

    Brown may well be embarassed, but not because Obama is sitting there shocked and fuming.
