Quote: "Sir Nigel Sheinwald, ambassador in Washington since last year, delivered his unvarnished assessment of the White House front runner in a seven-page letter to the Prime Minister, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, just before the Democratic nominee's visit to Downing Street just over two months ago.

i don't want to take away the ambassador's opinion, but i really don't believe that obama is "aloof". he seems on top of things. he may not have experience, but i think he is a smart guy.

Oh, Climate Change...you infect here as well with your lack of knowledge and idiotic attempts at stupid humor (along with your complete lack of grasp of the issues)

By the way, have you noticed how your sacred saint, Sarah "the dog in lipstick" Palin has absolutely refuted your silly assumptions on, um, climate change?

You sir, have become a joke...

Amusing...a member of the famously aloof British Aristocracy is calling an extremely educated individual from the American middle class as 'aloof'?

I think I spotted my jeans laughing!

this word "aloof" irritates me. i don't think Sir Nigel is accustom to the intelligence of the well educated black man.

I beg to differ B there are more educated black men in the UK, not only but in positions of power, also interacial relationships are much more open there, if anything they have more tolerance than we do.
