The Guardian reckons Team Brown put in a number of requests for a private meeting between the two statesmen during the current round of talks at the UN, but the President is refusing to RSVP yes. I might have given up after phone call number two ...
The White House deny they've snubbed Gordy-no-mates, but it hasn't lessened the media's reaction to the event who - dare I say it - appear to be revelling in the PM's embarrassment. Various reports suggest the 'rift' between the US and the UK is down to the recent Scottish decision to release convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Thanks for nothing Scotland.
Is this the end of a beautiful friendship? Is the UK destined to become just another insignificant little country, like say Luxembourg? Or will they kiss and make up?

What a great picture they chose. It's perfect! How many did they have to take before they captured *that* look?

Hopefully now it will encourage Gordon and UK government officials, to stop kissing US arse/ass all the time. No need to chase him round looking for the comforting pat-on-the-back, Gordon.

Could Obama be trying to distance himself from Brown, an unpopular PM from an unpopuplar party? Obama himself is facing the heat back home over healthcare reforms, maybe he doesn't wanna be seen hanging around with the losing crowd, sorry Brown not tonight, washing me hair
