Obama to Clegg: “It’s good to see the better looking half of the coalition”

By Nick T | Thu 20th June 2013 - 1:25 pm

Not content with insulting the chancellor by calling him Jeffrey on three occasions at the G8 summit, President Obama also dealt a blow to the prime minister’s vanity, via his deputy. The Sun’s Tom Newton Dunn reports:

In a second diplomatic gaffe on the same day, Mr Obama said Nick Clegg was more attractive than David Cameron. He told the Deputy PM: “It’s good to see the better looking half of the Coalition.”

Ouch.

I love the way The Sun reports it as a “diplomatic gaffe”

It must be LURVE! 🙂

Mr Clegg has a better-looking wife, too! 😉

(of course what Barak is really drawing attention to in a roundabout way is that he himself and his missus are better-looking than any of them, especially Putin, even with his latest mistress.

Better looking from a liberal perspective?

A ‘diplomatic gaffe’? No, just the truth – not that being better looking than slimy toad ‘Call me Dave’ would be hard to achieve!

A correction from Mr Obamas office …. meant to say “better half of the coalitions POLICIES” 🙂 🙂

Presumably Peter’s correction was dictated by Michelle.
