Hooray! President Obama gave our Prime Minister a hug, so everything must be ok with our special relationship. The White House has viewed with exasperation the UK's media's concern about a lack of a one to one meeting between the two leaders. As Mark Mardell points out in his new blog, Obama has had only special meetings with 5 world leaders (Israel, Palestine, Russia, China, Japan) for quite specific reasons. He has not met with Sarkozy, Berlusconi or Merkel and their have been no howls of anguish from these countries.
PS: It's been an important week for Pittsburgh but, according to the local paper, the big news for many local residents is the arrival of a new Dunkin Donuts outlet.
