President Obama has yet to meet or agree a meeting with any senior official from Britain, despite increasingly desperate entreaties from Her Majesty's government. Still, he's very busy. First thing this morning, for instance, Obama was attending a National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C.
Hang on a minute - who's this familiar-looking Brit covering the new president in praise and generally being a smoothie?
Somewhere in Downing Street, Gordon Brown is attempting to set his own hair on fire.
(Blair heads a foundation promoting interfaith understanding. Obama's acknowledgement of his "good friend" Blair can be found here, on the calendar for Thur.)
Oh, come now. Sarcasm doesn't suit Marbury. You know full well that, National Cult -- I mean, Prayer Breakfast notwithstanding, Obama's schedule so far has precluded knocking about with Poms due not to religious busywork but to, oh, trying to save the economy from near-certain doom and stuff like that. Clinton did meet with her counterpart, David Millibland. And Obama will meet with the Broon. Give it time, Grasshopper. Give it time.
"...Gordon Brown is attempting to set his own hair on fire" -- nice one!
