Default There’s nothing special about Britain.

So says an "unnamed" White House official, responding to criticisms that they didn't treat Britain's Prime Minister according to custom:

Quote:
There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.
Other reasons given for the oversight:

- Obama's too tired
- Obama's overwhelmed
- Obama's surprised at the sheer volume of business he must attend
- Obama's aides are unfamiliar with the "diplomatic niceties" of America's relationship with Britain
