British Columnist: Obama A Disappointing Bore

April 2nd, 2009 4:55 PM

If you're sick of all the gushing and fawning supposedly impartial American journalists are disgracefully including in reports about the President and First Lady's trip to the G20 summit, a column by the British Daily Mail's Quentin Letts is an absolute must-read.

As a tease:

Allegedly the most charismatic politician in the world, Mr Obama was a disappointment. 

That was just for starters:

It sounded as though he had a blocked nose and so his lack of energy may have been a symptom of a cold. Jet lag, too. He probably wished he could have stayed in bed. [...]

He spoke slowly, in a meandering manner. Some might say that he was thoughtful and professorial. Others might call his manner circuitous, even yarny. 

Am I saying that he was a bore? Oh dear. I find that I possibly am.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some British journalists here? You know, folks that only treat ROYALTY as royalty?

I'm just saying.
