As an American, I am embarrassed. Although I have little fondness for Gordon Brown, Obama's treatment of the PM's visit was shabby. Insulting gifts followed by the excuse "I was too tired". John McCain's age was an issue in the election and I am sure he would never say he was too tired. This is a window in how "Team Obama' understands the world. As President, Obama's first telephone call was to Abbas. Obama's priorities are backwards. Honor Abbas and insult the Brits.
