Gordon Brown is Right – Obama Has ‘Changed’ America
My latest at FSM today:
Despite being treated like a poor relation by Barack Obama when he visited the U.S. in early March, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had nothing but wonderful things to say about our president when he arrived in London for the much ballyhooed G-20 summit:
"President Obama, you have given renewed hope not only to the citizens of the United States of America, but to all citizens in all part of the world. And I want to thank you for your leadership, your vision and your courage, which you've already shown in your presidency, and congratulate you on the dynamism, the energy and, indeed, the achievements that you have been responsible for.
"Your first 70 days in office have changed America, and you've changed America's relationship with the world. So I thank you for coming to our country and I hope you will enjoy your visit with us."
I suppose it was a little too much to expect a committed leftist to criticize a fellow traveler, even when Obama’s apparent disinterest in the protocol surrounding Brown’s visit to the White House made Brown look foolish in the eyes of the world.
