Hmmm, I hadn't heard that one either. (Wonder why??!! </sarc>)
Very interesting. But the treatment of the PM is a deliberate snub, and it isn't being reported as such on this side of the Pond. Anyone notice that?
Wonder if Obama deliberately snubbed the Brits because they're just sooooo white?
Oh, but of course he wouldn't ......

It is absolutely not being reported. As my father said when I told him “It must not be too big of a deal, they aren’t talking about it on the news”. And I think YOU are the typical American. If it isn’t in your face on your TV, it doesn’t exist. Or it doesn’t matter.
Ugh.
You know, of course, that he packed up and shipped back the bronze bust of Sir Winston Churchill that has been previously displayed by George Bush inthe Oval Office. It's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the British had paid the U.S. a great honor by allowing it to be displayed in the White House.
Why was Obama so rude as to ship it back? Rumor has it that he doesn't see Winston Churchill as the rock of strength who stood almost alone in 1940-41 against the Nazis. He just sees him as the the white guy who put down the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya.
Just a hypothesis, of course...
