Camp David / July 31 2007
Gordon Brown didn’t quite tick the ‘George Bush is my best friend’ box when he met the US president yesterday. But it seems that we can all rest easy that the relationship between the two leaders is a strong and mutually respectful one.
In my opinion, the biggest issue is one of trust. How much can each of the two men ultimately rely on the other’s support in the years ahead – well, the next 18 months, anyway?
It appears that nothing much has changed in the USA/UK axis-of-harmony since Blair’s departure, and neither, I suspect, was it expected to. And don’t be side-tracked by the apparent change in rhetoric; the message is essentially the same: We’re with you all the way, Mr President.
(What the hell are you talking about? – Politics Ed.)
What I want to know is: where was Camp David? I often watch items on the news such as the recent meeting between GB and GB in the hope of catching a quick glimpse of this infamous character. Alas, I have never spotted him.
Who is Camp David and what is he like? How did he earn his colourful soubriquet? Does he march limp-wristedly around the White House in tight clothing serving fruity cocktails to important guests? I would dearly love to know. I bet he drinks Guinness.
