David Cameron and Barack Obama have just finished giving a rather cutesy and extremely verbose press conference following the reinvigorating of their bromance/serious talks on the economy and counter-terrorism.
The pair structured their opening statements to mirror one another, with each opening with a little tribute to the other. Obama said Cameron was a ‘great friend’ and ‘one of my closest and trusted partners in the world, while Cameron said Obama was a ‘great friend to Britain and to me personally’. A good friend indeed: Obama is basically doing everything he can to help Cameron be re-elected in this country.
One of the most useful quotes is the one from the President that the US and the UK economies are the ones that stand out in the world. With this press conference, the joint Times op-ed and Christine Lagarde’s glowing words, Cameron will certainly return to Britain feeling he’s just done a pretty effective spot of campaigning in the general election from across the Atlantic.
