Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon have a “special” relationship, according to a report released by CNN.
Obama said that “The prime minister's experience, like mine, is on how we can strengthen the transatlantic relationship to solve problems that can't be solved by any single country individually”. According to Obama, the most pressing problems are global warming, international terrorism and worldwide economic turmoil.
Obama and Brown sat outside on the porch and even walked towards St. James Park which surely aroused the attention of some bystanders. Obama also met with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and opposition leader David Cameron.
During his meeting with Cameron, Cameron allegedly remarked that “Yopu should be on the beach…You need a break…You need to be able to keep your head together”.
Is Obama doing the same things that Bush did? It sure seems like it right now as Bush was and still is close friends with Blair and Brown is also from the Labour Party, but Obama also met with opposition leader David Cameron. So which side is he on? Also, Obama made a huge GAFFE as in response to Cameron, Obama replied that he would try to take a week off in August (perhaps for the Olympics) on the advice of A Clinton White House veteran. Come on now, Obama and Clinton may have started off on the same foot, but as the campaign wore on, their differences could not have not been more apparent. While Obama was still presenting hope, Clinton probably knew that she was done after Obama won 11 straight primaries and caucuses and thus, Clinton decided to play dirty. By taking advice from a Clinton insider, does this mean that Obama will play dirty as well?
