re: #809 avanti

It must just be me, but I’m not overly worked up about the fact that BHO didn’t go over the moon to help a unpopular Prime Minister score some political points. Before the visit, the British press was moaning about the visit being a transparent ploy to gain some political capital, now bitching about a crappy gift.
Had BHO rolled out the red carpet and handed Brown a F 22 Raptor, the Britts would bitch about him trying to swing the election to Brown. Yep, it was a crappy gift , but it won’t make a difference in our relationship in the long term.

Well of course it’s you. If it was Bush, you would be pissing in your pants.
