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.

Well, Gordon and Sarah showed all the class....they both brought very nice gifts for Kingfish and Sapphire...as well as for their kids.....what they got in return was tacky re-gifts and items from the White House gift shop.....the lack of breeding on this side of the Atlantic was on display for all to see
Get used to this treatment. He could care less about England. He doesn't think much of the U.S. either. We're in big trouble with this one.
