No Balls, Just Nuts - Starstruck David Cameron's embarrassing fawning over Barack Obama and his 'beautiful words'

What happened to the party of Lady Thatcher? Now Tory is Socialist and Labor is Communist and you can't tell them apart.

Starstruck David Cameron's embarrassing fawning over Barack Obama and his 'beautiful words' - Mail Online - Toby Harnden's blog

What David Cameron described as his "guys night out" watching basketball with President Barack Obama in the swing state of Ohio was cheesy and embarrassing enough. But has there ever been a speech given by a British prime minister that was quite as cringeworthy as Cameron's "toast" to Obama at last night's State Dinner?

He takes a cheap shot at Richard Nixon - the easiest possible target in front of a gathering of Obamaphiles - and his own Tory predecessor Ted Heath. He makes corny jokes about cricket and Watergate ("call in the plumbers" - Geddit?) and then lauds Obama's "strength, moral authority and wisdom". No mention of Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.

Then comes what must surely be one of the most obsequious things Obama - who is well used to adulation - has ever heard. Obama, says Cameron "has pressed the reset button on the moral authority of the entire free world".

What? Pass the sickbag.
