What is Obama thinking?
Standing outside the British Embassy in Washington. Here is a picture - the only picture - of Barack Obama leaving after his chat with Gordon Brown. What does his expression tell you about the meeting? (PS Hilary 
was late: her five car motorcade didn't arrive till 10.06)
I think Obama has had second thoughts about wanting to be the next President, because it means he will have to spend yet more time with our dour, weirdly smiling, creepily grinning, mind-numbing, uninspiring, Jonah-esque 'leader'...Get ready for the headlines...Obama will drop out of the running tonight.

he's thinking, 'how did the secret service let that strange limey guy get so close to my car he can see his own reflection in the picture?'

He's probably thinking it's a small comfort that Brown will be gone a few months into his first term as President...

He's thinking it was an interesting and thought-provoking meeting, I guess. Who but a Tory nay-sayer would think anything else?

He's thinking ... what's next on my agenda. (It looks to me like he's reading something.) What I was thinking, "oh look, two world leaders who are the same height."

He looks depressed... which is fairly understandable - he'd just spent 50 minutes being talked at by Gordon Brown.

I'm betting Omaba was not impressed with Brown's "alleged" intellectual skills. Remember Obama was previously Editor of the Harward Law Journal (one of the most prestigious law jouranls in the world) and graduated top of his class at Harward Law School.

He's probably thinking more Special Schools needs than Special Relationship bonds...... for is it not Hubris to be touting/pimping yourself as a Leader whenever you cannot even Spin yourself popular and effective at home. That suggests both a Personal and Party Political failing, made all the more revealing whenever you have Media at your beck and call and they do carry anything of greater Value than tittle-tattle.
