Obama meets Brown as Obama addresses economic fears
Barack Obama, amid a weeklong foreign swing, meets British Prime Minister Gordon Brown at 10 Downing Street. He says the political impact in the United States may be muted by domestic worries over gas prices and foreclosures while stressing that allied cooperation could save funds for rebuilding the U.S. economy. He cites potential savings of 10 to 15 billion dollars from military mobility to focus on domestic recovery, and counters Republican Senator John McCain’s critique of his overseas campaigning.
