Yesterday Brown was trying to show it was business as usual, joining his family in Suffolk for his summer break and telling reporters: 'I think everybody's ready for a holiday.' Hours before, he had hosted the US presidential candidate Barack Obama in Downing Street. Obama met Brown's children and his brother-in-law during a relaxed visit, during which the Browns presented Obama with books on Churchill and silver photo frames for his daughters.

The Tories had their own meeting between Obama and David Cameron, at which the senator was overheard congratulating Cameron on 'all your success'. The two spent 20 minutes chatting about juggling fatherhood and politics and discussing Afghanistan and the economy. Cameron gave him a box of CDs including albums by the Smiths, Radiohead and Lily Allen.

Hmmm... Radiohead was a good choice, I'd give him a copy of Kid A if Cameron hasn't already. Maybe Eddie Izzard's "Dressed to Kill" as well.

Books are great but you have to consider the amount of free time needed to read one.

And maybe a doormat bearing the legend "British Politicians".

Music is very good suggestion, though instead of Radiohead or Eddie Lizard, I would gather up a collection of music from around the world which are known as good for meditation and thinking create thoughts. Some spiritual as Schubert's Ave Maria, others complex as Bach's Fugues. Peruvian pan pipes and African drums, old and new compositions sure to stir the heart.

Well, since it's by way of being a diplomatic visit of sorts, obviously they'd want to give him English music.

Now, world beat music from artists living in England might be a good choice; but random pipes from the Andes don't really say "I met with the Tory Party."

The people that support Obama could care less about his political views.

People voting for McCain aren't aware he has any. Actually, to be fair, no one's voting *for* McCain at all, they're voting against Obama, and that doddering old fool is the only option.
