Downing Street was left scrambling to avoid a diplomatic embarrassment today after the White House ruled out a formal press conference to mark Gordon Brown's first formal meeting with Barack Obama.

Officials denied the Prime Minister was being snubbed after it emerged that the new president would not make himself available for the traditional joint appearance before the White House media.

Mr Brown's aides are trying to make the best of what is a distinctly low key visit compared to the family hospitality lavished on Tony Blair by George Bush when they met for the first time. ...

So Barry's scaling down or not holding state cermonies for PM Brown's first visit to DC since the Obama took office??

This after sending a bust of Churchill, a gift of the British Government that had been in the Oval Office during the Bush Administration, back to the British Embasy..

what's up with that? Britain is long been our ally in good times and bad. Why is Obama intent of pissing off the British?

Yeah they got a contract signed. happened a coupled of weeks ago. I hope leach stays for a while but who knows. some say he's got his eye on the ucla job but no one but mike and his barber knows for sure..

Crab's got a broken bone in his foot and isn't expected to run at the NFL combine.. supposed to get cut on tomorrow to have it fixed.. He'll still go high first round. two time belitnikoff winner his r/s freshman and sophomore years.. he's solidly at the top of the draft.


as for the snub? I can't figure it out either.. babies and bathwater, who knows?

Probably distancing himself from Britains labour Party because they were in it knee deep with Bush's criminal acts..

Why should we give them special treatment anyway?
