He's probably only coming over so he can re-affirm the US and Britain's "Special" relationship... watch out for the sweeping brush hanging out of David Cameron's rear end...

I reckon it will be the taxpayers paying for his fuel and food and lodgings etc too...

Your link is about the wikileaks back in November, which were about comments made by Mervin King to a US ambassador, Nothing about any comments made by the US government.

Up to now I think Obama has been a disappointment.

It's by no means a certainty he'll get a second term, and if he doesn't get his health care bill through his presidency will have been pretty much a non-event.

I might be wrong but I'd guess it's an impression formed from the fact that Obama's been rather less then forthcoming with praise when it comes to the UK. Still, as soon as his new buddies, the French, don't dance to his tune the 'special relationship' with the UK will be a 'strong as ever' it was. :rolleyes:

Anyway I have a feeling that, Barack Obama will be remembered as Barracked Obama.

The link also included

In 2008, Mr Obama was alleged after their first meeting to have dismissed then Opposition Mr Cameron as a “lightweight’’ – a report that sparked furious ­denials from both sides.

One journalist who was aware of the cables’ contents has predicted that they will cause “embarrassment for David Cameron, who was not very highly regarded by the Obama administration or by the US ambassador here’’.

"alleged" from the Express (and Mail) usually means "made up".

They're not D-Cam's biggest fans, as they think he is a bit soft on the working classes.....
