President Barack Obama marked the second day of British Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to the United States today with an official welcoming ceremony for the prime minister and his wife, Samantha Cameron, in the White House garden.
Incorporating some British-speak into his speech, President Obama told Cameron, "We are chuffed to bits that you are here."
The president went on to say, "I'm confident that together we're going to keep the relationship between our two great nations, absolutely top notch."

Just before Cameron left the United Kingdom, Brian Williams sat down with the prime minister for a Rock Center exclusive interview airing tonight at 10pm/9c. Cameron tells Brian Williams that he has a very close and "easy" relationship with President Barack Obama.
"We call each other by our first names. We talk probably, once a fortnight, once every three weeks, but it depends on how many issues there are that we really need to get to grips with," the prime minister told Brian Williams at his official residence in London.

to brian williams: you have hit "rock bottom" with your milk toast interview with president obama. why did you not ask him about the timeline of events that led to the murder of ambassador stevens, tyrone woods and the two others? was that topic "off limits", denying you freedeom of the press.??it is a very sad bleak day in america when you supposed news people refuse to tell the american people the truth about this president, and let him and his whitehouse cover-up the death of an ambassador and 3 other brave americans. i challenge you to interview tyrone woods father.if fox new will, why don't you or is he off limits too or are you afraid to or both. the public can easily find out the cia would not help amabassador smith, but tyrone woods did, against orders and gave his life to try and save stevens ...a real american hero. yet you do cover obama attacking romney because he has no real record of his own so he calls romney a bs... er...is that presidential??? obama is a failure, a farce, and so are you and your network for supporting him.
