Brits Officials Can't Get Obama Folks on Phone, U.S. Media Not Picking Up Either | NewsBusters.org

Brits Officials Can't Get Obama Folks on Phone, U.S. Media Not Picking Up Either | NewsBusters.org: "If the snub of British PM Gordon Brown at the hands of President Obama and his wife weren't enough, now British Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell is saying that Downing Street is finding it 'unbelievably difficult' to get hold of officials from Obama's administration. British officials can't seem to ever get past the administration's answer machines as they call here to try and coordinate plans for the coming G20 summit.

In frustration O'Donnell said that that when he tries to get in touch with key members of Obama's Treasury Department 'there is nobody there.' The phones ring and nobody answers or they get messages and that is all. 'You cannot believe how difficult it is,' O'Donnell told participants at a civil service conference.

While the Obama Administration ducks the Brit's phone calls, the U.S. media also seems to be ignoring this story as they've widely ignored several of the stories that detail the new administration's offhanded treatment of our closest ally."
