what's deal with Obama and Brown meeting controversy?
I am sure this is ridiculous, but I don't have TV and some asshole conservative was saying "it's shameful the way Obama dissed one of our allies..." WTF? They met. So what, if anything, are people saying to make an issue of this? That he didn't have a press conference? what?

1. According to MSNBC he was speaking "jive" to Brown which left him utterly confused.
Seriously though I have no idea but I'm guessing it's more made up shit.

2. Brown wanted a joint press conference, the WH declined.

3. so my question is why. what is your thought?
is there a fairly obvious answer as to why they wouldn't grant that courtesy?

8. Obviously Obama is an anglophobic bigot.
And wants to jeopardize the war on terrorism.
