Obamessiah's Insult to the Brits

The foreign press is not happy with the Obamessiah since none (or almost none) of them are included in the press contingent traveling on the World Apology Tour. He also doesn't seem real interested in meeting with them while he's over there.

There has been quite the kerfuffle over his original plans to speak in front of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, a sight that has hosted two previous presidents (not candidates), and now there's a new controversy about a planned press conference at No. 10 Downing Street, Britain's White House and the official home of the British Prime Minister. Obama plans to do the presser alone:

Lest there be any illusions about the desired target audience for Obama’s trip, the foreign media, including the BBC, have been left on the Tarmac. Only American reporters are on board “Obama One” as his plane heads from one country to the next.

He will have a 45-minute meeting on Saturday morning with Gordon Brown followed by a press conference, which Obama will conduct on his own outside Downing Street in a blatant departure from the usual protocol.

There will be no Brown at his side to spoil the No 10 backdrop for American voters, even though it would be unthinkable for a British prime minister to appear in the White House Rose Garden without the president.

Brown will say a few words later in the day, once Obama has gone.

The audacity of the dope continues. He really wants to be king of the world.
