Gordon Brown Speaking Out for Obama
Their world is continuing to crumble. The world leaders can not stand quiet while the US waffles from the most competent candidate to the incompetence of the McCain Campaign.

Brown's endorsement
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has, more or less, endorsed Obama, writes the Evening Standard's Paul Waugh:

Gordon Brown has broken with British convention and made clear that he favours Barack Obama as the next US President.

In a departure from the usual self-denying ordinance of Prime Ministers past, Brown has written an article for The Monitor magazine in which he praises Obama's plans to get the US out of the housing slump.

Referring to the anxieties facing voters across the globe during the economic slowdown, he says: "Around the world, it is progressive politicians who are grappling with these challenges....In the electrifying US Presidential campaign, it is the Democrats who are generating the ideas to help people through more difficult times. To help prevent people from losing their home, Barack Obama has proposed a Foreclosure Prevention Fund to increase emergency pre-foreclosure counselling, and help families facing repossession."

2. Maybe a few more leaders will follow suit.
It would be insanity to put McBush/Mooseburger in charge of foreign policy (although she does have that looking in the direction of Russia experience under her belt).

4. Doesn't matter if he speaks the truth
Americans have a long history of hating being told what to do by foreigners....to the point of purposefully going to other way just to poke a stick in their eye.

6. Well, David Cameron has expressed support for McCain...
so by the same token, that should put American xenophobes off McNut!
And BTW, if it's relevant, Cameron would definitely correspond to the sort of liberal Republican the Christian Right would NOT like.
