So Obama organized the whole summit did he?

Obama came up with the proposals did he?

What a strange obscure vision you have of Obama. And absolutely no idea of how the EU works.

He has a habit of that Yes, a long way to go before the General Election but if he pulls this off, i really think he will do it. I want to see a major Cabinet re-shuffle before then however. he needs to do that to win over more votors. We need to see Smith and Harmen kicked out on their sorry arrses.

I'm off for a few days to check out the constituancy i may stand in. :wah:

The G20 summit was the meeting of 20 world leaders all of them visitors to England. Obama was just one of the 20. Other leaders were far more impressive than him.

exactly, who is mocking Obama?

perhaps just you?

America lauds British admiration for Barack and Michelle Obama

The Obamas' visit to London has probably done more to improve transatlantic relations than any single event in recent years.

By Alex Spillius in Washington

Last Updated: 9:04PM BST 03 Apr 2009

From the warm words the US president showered on Gordon Brown, to the adulation shown by the British public to the first couple and that already famous touchy moment between Michelle Obama and the Queen, the special relationship – feared to be in peril just a few weeks ago – is looking as sunny as the weather that greeted the Americans.

Amid wall to wall cable news coverage of the G20, and reams of newsprint devoted to the visit, London, its people and their monarch came across exceedingly well. Even Wednesday's demonstrations, which could have marred the summit, caused some bemused questioning of the protesters' motives, but more than anything served to demonstrate the effectiveness of British policing.

His impression was that "Britain came across in an extremely positive light". "It was a demonstration of British hospitality at its very best," he said. "There was recognition that the Brits are experts at these diplomatic receptions."

There was a collective intake of breath after Mrs Obama put her arm around the Queen at the Buckingham Palace reception. An avalanche of tabloid disapproval lambasting rude Americans was expected, but did not arrive.

"So high is the adulation that has been heaped on the Obamas from the normally caustic British press since their arrival that newspapers here said it was a sign of how well Mrs Obama got along with the Queen," wrote Helene Cooper of the New York Times, who travelled with the presidential entourage.

Americans were been almost taken aback by the rock star welcome given to the Obamas. At home, the dark clouds hanging over the economy were beginning to overshadow the new president's popularity, though he has been in office for less than three months.

But Mr Obama's stellar reception in the country still closer to more Americans than any other has reminded his compatriots that their leader is supremely popular overseas. Furthermore his wife has now established herself as an international star.

"The Queen's been on the world stage for more than five decades; Michelle Obama for about five minutes – but all of them quite dazzling," wrote Chris Hampson, NBC News director of international news.

On the political front, no one could deny Mr Obama's claim that the summit was a success.

Like we need him. The most important thing was that earlier press reports that France and Germany were going to reject GB's proposals were bollocks. They agreed as did Europe. The EU vote is the only vote we need to worry about. Oh and the Arabs..... they got the money :wah:
