There’s nothing special about Britain.

Other reasons given for the oversight:

- Obama's too tired
- Obama's overwhelmed
- Obama's surprised at the sheer volume of business he must attend
- Obama's aides are unfamiliar with the "diplomatic niceties" of America's relationship with Britain

Ha! Yeah, that is pretty bad, particularly given the unbeatable gift from Gordon Brown (how do you come up with something that perfect?).

So are you going to end up like Tex or me?

Tex defended Bush the entire way.

I turned on Bush like a hellcat on meth.

Cali will never speak ill of Obama. You have your answer. He speaks ill only of Republicans.

While not exactly a film buff, Gordon Brown was touched when Barack Obama gave him a set of 25 classic American movies – including Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins on his recent visit to Washington.

Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen. Although he mournfully had to put the popcorn away, he is unlikely to jeopardise the special relationship – or "special partnership", as we are now supposed to call it – by registering a complaint.
