He was working!

A press briefing for White House reporters was hastily called Thursday afternoon just minutes after the summit’s communiqué was issued so a senior administration official could tout the president’s pivotal role in brokering a compromise between the French and Chinese on tax havens that the official said had threatened to derail the meeting.

The French have pushed for a brighter light to be shined on those jurisdictions in violation of tax standards while the Chinese have stoutly refused to even recognize such a list; Obama, pulling aside leaders of both countries first separately and then together, hashed out a compromise to “note” the existence of a list.

“I’d suggest we might still be there had he not done this,” said the administration official who briefed White House reporters.

Princeton historian Julian Zelizer observes that Obama risks overdoing it, though that's not a problem yet. "The public has a high tolerance of celebrity," he says. "It's the American Idol syndrome. And Obama is still in that realm where Americans like to hear from him—he's more a celebrity than a politician."

Lets see everyone over there likes him.

Could it be because he is amongst fellow socialists and communists?

Hmm...slandering the President.

nothing slanderous about it just a thought

Londoners are socialists and communists?!

Really?!



The fella has charisma and is very likeable. Im not surprised he made such an impact, as the difference between him and Bush in that respect is huge. I think people are just happy that you finally have an intelligent president again. He words and presence give hope in a difficult time. Im gonna let his actions talk for themselves though, im not convinced yet, maybe he is all talk.

I was refering to the socialist and communit leaders that are there

Ahh i see! Saves me from having to deck ya! lol

glad I cleared that up. thanks

Just go watch the Guiding Light before it goes off the air.

But what good is more important, fixing the problem (real work) or image (hollywood politics)?

I don't think Obama is fixing any problem. All he's doing is trying to spend his way out of a recession and is suggesting everyone else do the same while he gets all this amazing face time from the press everywhere he goes.

Do you even keep up with current events?

Quite thoroughly. Obama is throwing money down a hole and hoping it works. it'll get us out of the current slump but no amount of regulation and spending (short of full-on socialism) will prevent it from happening again. We need real, fundamental changes in our monetary system that Obama simply will not pursue.

You don't need no stinking linkin?

Yes, I've heard that. But....see...it's not a problem yet.
