Boris backs Obama

Boris has endorsed Barack Obama’s bid for the US Presidency, claiming that a victory for the Illinois senator would “do fantastic things for the confidence and feelings of black people around the world”.  It means the London Mayor has broken political convention on getting involved in foreign elections.  And I imagine he’s ruffled a few Tory feathers in the process.
