British reporters are not happy. Not happy at all. They expected a full press conference after Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s first visit to the Obama White House, but didn’t get one.
“Though there was never any announcement on this side of the Atlantic that there would be a full-blown joint news conference today when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown stops by to meet with President Obama,” USA Today’s The Oval blog reported, “some British journalists are rather cranky this morning about the fact that there won’t be one. Some who flew over with Brown last night thought there would be an Obama-Brown newser, and were surprised to hear when they arrived that there wouldn’t. They see it as a snub.”
“Mr Brown might lament,” The Telegraph said, “that despite the so-called ‘special relationship’ Britain is now getting the same treatment as the president of Uruguay but he need not despair. I’m told there’s a chance he might get drinks with Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday evening.”
That may be true, but imagine the hysterically funny stories Brown will be able to tell in Parliament on Wednesday morning.
