I never ever thought I'd see Christopher hitchins use the word "Dissed". What next? A guest verse on a Wu Tang record?

As ever, the hitch is completely on the money. I'm british and I thought the Brit media sounded like a bunch of whiney kids when complaining about Obama Snubbing Brown.

He probably gave him a few bill, on the side.

You knwo what they are like on that level, and several levels below.

Its only the working class who cant make it big. They gotta get to work and feed the kids, and the rich man, and the rich mans family.

The rich can just invest their money, and live off us forever !!!

Or can they ?

Obama should be aware that it's tradition to give a British Prime Minister a full state visit, Constitutionally the PM is the most senior de facto representative of the Her Majesty the Queen, the People Head of Her Government and has duties responsibilities of head of state aswell.
