Barack's Berkshire Link

"She is a bingo-loving grandmother who lives in a council house," or so according to BBC Berkshire.

The widow of President Obama's late father, Kezia Obama, lives in Bracknell.

Whether this will quell fears of an unsettling new stage in the UK-US 'special relationship' or provide reassurance is not known, but it does give us here an excuse to call for him to reaffirm his family ties and invite him here to visit us.

Oranjepan asks:
Will President Obama visit Reading?

    you can't be John Wood! I do not believe it! I remember what John Wood said the morning after the general election 1997 - do you?

    No, I don't remember, although that's mainly because I didn't have the privilege to be there on your moment of triumph. What did he say?
