Does Barack Obama dislike Gordon Brown?
By James Kirkup, Daily Telegraph
Obama continues to spit in Brown’s face
Is it personal? Does the US president just dislike the British prime minister? Do Barack Obama and Gordon Brown need (special) relationship counseling?
I ask because Barack Obama’s apparent reluctance to attend the Copenhagen summit on climate change in December is something of a personal blow to Gordon Brown.
The PM has made very clear that he wants the President to attend. Indeed, last week he was practically pleading.
Mr Brown’s spokesman this morning is keeping up appearances: “He was and is keen for other leaders to be there.” But Downing Street is clearly resigned to disappointment.
This isn’t the first time, either. Last month’s snub is still a very sore subject in No 10.
Meanwhile, we know that the White House is busily flirting with the Tories. William Hague got the full welcome from Hillary Clinton last week, and we understand that talks are already underway about a David Cameron trip to the White House.

Good, if the Chairman has any sense in his small liberal head, he will stay clear from Gordon Brown. He is toxic to the UK and he tried to continue Blair's mess, but Cameron came along and crushed his hopes and dreams. GOOD! DIE NWO

How come I didnt hear anything about Obama's reluctance to attend the Copenahgen meeting? He should not only not attend, but he should publically and loudly declare that he isnt attending and that he isnt going to sign such a horrible treaty! I dont give a crap about Gordon Brown. I give a crap that the Copenahgen treaty would create a one-world govt and impose communism and force the U.S. to pay 2 or 3% of its GDP to 3rd world countries (forever!) and America's soveriegnty would be gone.
