So much for keeping this one under wraps. I bet we won't hear abou this one. I'm sure it's halfway under the rug already. There were a few positives for Obama in the 7 page letter Britain's Ambassador sent to Gordon Brown, but mostly it was not flattering.

Some snippets:

Barack Obama is a "decidedly liberal" senator "who was finding his feet, and then got diverted by his presidential ambitions" OUCH!!

Sir Nigel detects a potential clash between Downing Street and an Obama administration over Iran.

Sir Nigel later reiterates the point: "Although he has been a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for four years, and a regular attender of meetings in his first two, there is little Obama track record to refer back to."

He highlights luck as a key factor in Mr Obama's rise. "He was certainly lucky in having Democratic and Republican opponents for the US Senate in 2004 who were tarnished. He was lucky that Hillary Clinton had such a bad organisation in the primary campaign, and took so long to respond to Obama's threat."
