| The "leaders" of the free world show off their gravitas |
It's a staggering sight: Her Majesty's Prime Minister (or he would be, if his government was legitimate) acting as The One's re-election campaign prop. It's bad enough for a minister of the Crown getting involved in foreign politics. It's even worse when a Tory (Red Tory, anyway), shills for a Socialist who is the antithesis of everything the Conservatives once stood for. And it is a travesty how these two have turned the Special Relationship from an alliance of giants into a "Screw the world, let's take in a basketball game" affair. But for Cameron to abase himself to the point of endorsing Mr Soetoro's cynical plan to tap the US Strategic Oil Reserve to push down petrol prices and effectively bribe American voters with their country's national security and that of the West shows that Mr Cameron is either a phenomenal lightweight in the brains department or an amoral political hack.
I could weep.

I'm holding out for "self-serving autocrat-wannabee gerbil", myself.
Cameron's latest foray proves rather conclusively that, as conservatives go, he makes Stanley Baldwin look like Friedrich Hayek, in both philosophy and IQ. Serving as a campaign prop for The One is unlikely to win him any friends he either doesn't already have, or whom any self-respecting Tory would even want.
My best guess is that Cameron wanted to be seen schmoozing with Himself because of The Self-Exalted One's continuing popularity in the EU's leadership circles. He probably thinks that it will convince the gnomes in Brussels that "Hey, Guys! I'm one of you!", and thereby get them to actually listen to him on things like the PIIGS problem, etc.
The scary part is, it might work. Which, considering the drivel that comes out whenever Cammie-Boy opens his mouth, is very likely to make things worse.

I read some of the remarks Mr. Cameron made in praise of our Barry. If I were less cynical, I'd think they were meant as some pretty thick sarcasm---"fulsome" does not begin to describe it! What does Mr. Cameron stand to gain? Surely, he can't be licking Barry's hand like this out of gratitude for all the love he has shown Britain.
