At the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, and at the UN Security Council meeting before that, Barack Obama continued his administration's new policy toward Great Britain: declare that the "special relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. is as strong as ever, and then act as if there is no such relationship at all.
The British papers were filled with the news that the president would not grant Prime Minister Gordon Brown a one-on-one meeting. "Mr. Obama had refused five separate requests from the prime minister for a private meeting during his U.S. trip for the UN summit in New York," reported the Daily Mail.

Mao Mao.
Cuz he hates them?
Mau Mau
Oh? What’s the original language?
I think this goes back when to Kenya was enemies with the crown.
Good play on words.On *both* counts.
Not likely ~ much more likely is that he already knows about all the gays in the foreign office and he’s just not up to servicing all of them ~ so he stays away.
1-They are American Allies, yuck
2-They are mostly white Christians
3-Churchill and Thatcher
Yeah I forgot they used to colonize Africa.
He is a Kenyan and he, like most Kenyans, blame the British for their plight.
Much later, as Prime Minister for the second time, he ordered the repression of the 1952 Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya. The ensuing torture caught up many uninvolved Kenyans, and just like many modern "anti-terror" campaigns, radicalised them and their friends and family too. One earlier victim of this approach was Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather. No wonder the bust's going back
Because he does not share any values in common with us.
The Brits wouldn’t ban Rush, Beck, or Hannity, only Savage. 0be’s pissed.
Because the “were “ a white , western society.
They are now an Islamic country so I don’t see his problem with them.
Oba-Mao never forgave the Brits for Colonial Africa. It’s a thing that Black Nationalist, like Rev Wright, carry aropund in their voodoo doll case and grab and shake at you every so often.
When you sit there for 20 years listening to this Black Nationalist hate spewed by Wright, did you actually expect it would have no effect on Oba-Mao?
Wikipedia today says “The name Mau Mau for the rebel movement was not coined by the movement itself- they called themselves Muingi (”The Movement”), Muigwithania (”The Understanding”), Muma wa Uiguano (”The Oath of Unity”) or simply “The KCA”, after the Kikuyu Central Association that created the impetus for the insurgency. Veterans of the independence movement referred to themselves as the “Land and Freedom Army” in English.” It also gives an Etymology section, which gives one to understand no one really knows where “mao mao” or “mau mau” comes from. I’ve always thought it was from the chinese — mao mao fu fu. “Horse horse, tiger tiger”
Payback for civilizing them? His baby daddy wuz a British Subject. (Disqualifying his Natural Born Citizen status)
If he's that unhappy about it he should just go back and live in the Bush.
It’s easy to see why Hussein didn’t want that bust of Churchill in the Oval Office.Its presence made him feel...and seem...puny by comparison.
Me thinks it goes alllll the way back to his “Roots” (the mini-series)
