"I was wondering how long the likes of HH would take to turn this into a US bashing thread.
Not long."
the trouble with Americans is their lack of a sense of irony - it was the "small country politicians" I was taking a pot shot at. They can only think of a photo-opportunity with the Pres. and how well it plays back home. God knows what the President thinks about it but I'm sure a consummate politican he recognises the need in others.........
POTUS IS the leader of the "Free World" - a hackneyed but useful term - and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot
