Cameron, Brown, Obama; Peas In A Pod?

So both David Cameron and Gordon Brown have used the election of Barack Obama to try to boost their popularity. A truly desperate attempt on behalf of our leaders to get some of the reflected glory from Obama's triumph. But then again, what would you expect from two shameless publicity and popularity whores?

Besides, Obama has achieved something neither Cameron or Brown has achieved (and at least one of them is destined never to achieve) - Obama has won a national election. There are, of course, some other areas in which both Cameron and Brown aren't that similar to Barack Obama - as The Daily Mash nicely points out:

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the president-elect said: "Mr Cameron strikes us as the sort of person who would have owned Michelle's great-great grandparents. "

And as for Gordon Brown - we are nothing like him. Nothing. Like him. At all."

He added: "I want to hear you say it."

Satire, maybe; but those words are probably not a million miles from the truth - assuming that Barack Obama actually bothers to follow Prime Minister's Questions. Which, given what has happened to him over the past 24 hours, seems a little unlikely.
