Obama to meet Cameron next week

George Laird

Dear Peter

I have to agree with you that the Obama meeting is important for the Tories.

The Americans recognise that Brown is now dead in the water.

It seems that the "special relationship" seems to have a transferable clause which allows for the jumping of ship!

This is bad news for the Labour spin doctors.

The story of G20 is what is Obama going to say to Cameron, the Prime Minister in waiting?

What a coup, someone at the Tory HQ best look closely at American policy and do some work.

But not Eric Pickles, it takes him 4 hours to cover 37 miles using transport.

Yours sincerely

Death or Tory

"Er, hello? - is that the Nokia store in Whitehall?

It's No.10 here again - yes, I'm afraid we do need another replacement handset..."

hysteria

buy shares in Nokia....

Hysteria

however politically I would prefer DC gets closer to DH than BO !!!

Tiberius

The Chickenless Head really will be banging against the wall now.

Pete, Scotland

Maybe Obama has seen the Dan Hannan Youtube and decided Brown is history.

Wight Tory

Brown has run out of cash to buy outright a mobile phone, he's had to get it on the Nok Nok....

Richard

There's nothing he can say or promise which means anything.

We haven't seen the books that Gordon's manipulated - it'll take George, Ken and some brilliant diggers ages to understand how bad it is.

15 months minimum is a long time with 4 $trillion on the hock. Dave should get him a DVD and chat about Europe - anything else is either hubris or irresponsible.

Oscar

And to add some icing to the Tory cake, the ICM poll in tomorrow's Telegraph puts the Conservatives 13 points ahead.

What's with all the formality? It's a comment box - just state your comment.

Given your comments have nothing to do with human rights or Glasgow or university - there is no potential conflict of interest - so no need to disclose.

Good luck with "The Campaign" - hopefully it hasn't come to define you.

Susan Hill

Yes.. Obama is a socialist. I hope Dave doesn`t forget that in his cosying up. Ah, but hang on, sorry.. this is the Heir to Blair we`re talking about. Now what would Maggie have made of Obama ?

Travis Bickle

How delicious. Wonder if he wants to meet Mr Hannan as well.

Dirty Euro

Cameron and obama are both descendents of people crushed by the british empire. Camerons were crushed by the british red coats in jacobite rebelions, while obamas peoples were put down by the red coats too in Kenya.
They have a lot in common perhaps they will discuss how to destroy the evil red coats.

Simon

Will he describe him as a total lightweight again?

seb

Vital for Cameron but high pressure as well. He failed to impress Obama last time and will presuambly want to put the rocky start to their relationship behind him.

simon

whose DH?

David

People who mention that 'lightweight' thing do know it was written by a chum of Mandelson, right? That this chum of Mandelson claims to have been told by some nameless person that this is what Obama said. It's all nonsense. Even if Obama thought that, he wouldn't say it.

Fergus Pickering

Dirty Euro, the Jacobites were put down by the rich Presbyterian Scots who didn't care for Charlie and his filthy Highlanders at all, nor for his vile Popery. Of course they let the Redcoats do their fighting for them, as rich Scots bankers tend to do.

Alex

seb - did you honestly believe that story in The Guardian?

Wake up.

African Alliance Party

David Cameron is a heavyweight

Nicholas

Nice one Fergus. Dirty Euro represents everything that is wrong with the concept of universal suffrage but provides us with a classic but crass demonstration of the socialist distortion of history for modern political ends.

Dirty Euro:

Nicholas (AKA Mac) Your comment shows your contempt for democracy. I have postgrad qualifications. I am sure if suffrage was dropped you would lose your vote earlier than I.

I hope cameron gains revenge ion the red coat british army for their abuses of his people. It must burn inside what they did to his people.

Nicholas

Er, I am not Mac Dirty Euro - AKA or otherwise - but I look in vain to see your "postgrad qualifications" reflected in your barely literate writing. Was it a postgrad qualification in socialist wool pulling? As for democracy, New Labour and its supporters have far more contempt for it than I ever shall.

Your comments about "redcoats" are absolute codswallop but at least you are consistent. All your posts are codswallop.

I hope Cameron also gets the opportunity to gain revenge on the sad little socialist Trots who have led our country up the garden path to the dungheap. The socialist record for bringing death, torture and misery to human beings is on a scale that far exceeds anything perpetrated by the British Army. In Britain the shape-changing and slithery socialist collective have made misery the defining objective of all their "progressive" improvements.

Hysteria

@ Simon - DH - Daniel Hannan

I was making the point that Obama = Blair and Cameron's desire to be seen in that light supports what several of us have been saying for a while now.

Instead I would much prefer that Cameron realised that Hannan's approch is more to out liking.....

Hysteria

James - you new here? Most of us ignore Mr Laird's comments now -

Nicholas
March 29th, 2009 2:35pm:- So true. BTW Nicholas, its nice to see you back commenting again; you seem to have been missing for a while.

So Obama's guesting on the Blair Tribute gig.

George Laird

Dear James at 7.10 pm

Do you read The Times?

In the letters pages, people sign off their letters this way.

If it is good enough for rich middle class people to do so, it is good enough for me.

Here is a link to prove my point.

Finally, before I started my human rights campaign, I already was somebody in my own right.

When one looks at the sad 20th Century, I think it's extraordinary that the Left doesn't just lie down and shut up. Consider Hitler (National Socialist, his first constituency German farmers), Ceaucescu, Mao Zedong, Stalin, Pol Pot (who got his ideas from the Great Chairman himself)and their associated miseries, today's Leftists should be terminally ashamed.

George Laird

Dear phil/ hysteria

"James - you new here? Most of us ignore Mr Laird's comments now -"

Is it possible you could stop posting as Hysteria?

You have left your tell tale trademark when you wrote that post.

Failing that, could you be more clever?

Nichloas : Actually that is rubbish The british empire killed over a 100 million in famines and wars in it's history, plus it supported slavery at first. I am british but i do not live in your fairy land dream of Britain never doing anything wrong or everything bad on the other hand. Grow up. Just look at the Bengal famine in the 18th century alone.
Plus the red coats did kill jacobites, what did you think the war involved tickling contests, for goodness sake.
Hitler was right wing not left wing.
The Spanish empire wiped out 80% of South America. The Japs killed more than anyone in Asia under a right wing government, where they set up sex camps to use british women, while their husbands were marched to death. Yes the right have much to feel guilt over.
I hope Cameron shows you redcoats (stained the blood of millions).

Verity

Hysteria, well I know I do. As soon as I see Dear All, or Dear Somebody, I scroll at speed to the next post.

Frank P

I think David Cameron should read this before he meets Obama:

A brilliant update from St Mark of Steyn. Oh for such writing in this magazine!

Verity

Brilliant indeed Frank P, and good to see you!

James

Hysteria - thanks for the advice.
