  With his bad temper he really gets through them fast, throwing them across the office apparently.
  
  The latest outburst is allegedly caused by a meeting being arranged between Barack Obama and David Cameron during the G20 procedings. No doubt this was made worse because the news was leaked that this meeting was not sought by DC or his team, it appears that DC's advisers gave him some rather cowardly advice not to seek a meeting in case it was refused. DC can be a bit too cautious at times. So it wasn't just the fact of the meeting that so enraged GB but the impication that it was requested by someone on BO's team. To politicians image and how they are seen is everything, so these things are important to them.
  
  Obama seems to be preparing for the day when the USA's no 1 ally will be led by David Cameron, writing off the chances of Brown.
  
  Brown is also looking more and more isolated in other ways.
  
  He intended to use the G20 in order to try to generate 'Brown Bounce 2' but that dream is disappearing fast. He has been isolated, not just by overseas leaders like Merkel distancing themselves from his new stimulus demand, but also by his own Treasury and the Governor of the Bank of England. This is wiping away Brown's last economic fig leaf. Cameron's decision to distance himself from the Government's approach to the recession is now reaping the reward, it is he who represents the mainstream thinking, not Brown.
