How is Gordon Brown viewed in the US?
I'd be interested to know how he is seen.
There was a huge perception in Europe that Blair was Bush's poodle and I guess that was somewhat felt by anti-Bush people in the US, while pro-Bush people had a positive view of Blair.
Brown - a physical bully, a pathological "right man" - if nothing else is nobody's poodle, and I think before people started to realise what having a leader who was borderline OCD meant his dour, glum personality was seen as a refreshing change from Blair's perceived lightweight stature.
I really am interested to understand which version of Brown gets over internationally - is it the strong man, the "serious man for serious times", or the OCD, misanthropic, bullying control freak who cannot make decisions?
