Guardian piece by Paul Owen
David Lammy has attacked David Cameron’s attempts to claim common cause with Barack Obama in a piece in today’s New Statesman.
“I know Obama,” the higher education minister writes, adding of the US president-elect:
His political worldview is grounded in his experience as a community organiser. He has a deep-seated affinity with the people of Chicago’s South Side among whom he has worked. He understands their daily struggles and the dreams they hold for their children. For Cameron to claim common cause with Obama is absurd and demeaning.
At prime minister’s questions last Wednesday, a day after the US election result, both Cameron and Gordon Brown competed to attach themselves to the Obama bandwagon.

Election night in New York

Paul Owen’s report from an ecstatic Manhattan on November 4.
When I visited New York for the 2004 election, the atmosphere was so charged and tense that the following exchange happened outside a nightclub in the Meatpacking district.
Girl: So you’ve come over for the election? Who are you supporting?
Me (sarcastically): Well, Bush of course.
And then she took a swing at me, with such force that she clattered on to the pavement as I stepped back startled out of the way.
This year it was different.
