The media have been fawning over the Obamas when he's the most anti-British US president ever.
He calls the Falklands the Malvinas, and BP British Petroleum.
Politicians have to fawn over powerful enemies, it's part of their job. The media don't have to, but the state visit provided nice pictures and easy column inches, so they did. And that's before the newsprint devoted to comparing the women's clothes. Oh please.
Outside the Westminster bubble, this isn't a big story and the self-abasement was distasteful.
You weren't welcome, Obama, and I'm glad you've gone.
