The USA are pushing out the boat and having a love in with Britain via the PM's visit.

One assumes they are concerned by the proposed cut backs in our military capability and putting pressure on that score. Will we see a reversal of defence cutbacks in these austere times?

I have to say that the Obama/Dave double act made me laugh.

He might reciprocate Obamas basketball trip by taking the prezzy down a bar and showing him the vagaries of a game of darts. Daves never off the oche in his local.

Then on to the Trades and Labour in time for the link bingo. You can win more than five hundred pounds, some nights.

Possibly, or when the Obamas come this side of the pond, Dave might take them out to see his cuntrified chums for a spot of horsey-horsey riding, courtesy of the Met.

If Obama is going to boost his re-election chances with the religious fundamentalist nutjob brigade, he'll possibly be considering bombing some other religious nutjobs (or at least some random people in another country with religious nutjobs.)

In which case, he'll need a cheerleader or, better still, some company on the way just so that it won't appear entirely unilateral.

Why would he need to boost his chances with the religious fundamentalist brigade when they're all going to sit at home and refuse to vote for a mormon?

Surely they'd vote for a mormon if it stopped the black, Kenyan muslim getting a second term.
