Obama hosts Brown to compose G20 song sheet

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was the first European leader hosted by new US President Barrack Obama at the White House.

This is no surprise given the special relationship between the two countries.

Brown met Obama on Tuesday and on Wednesday addressed both houses of Congress. The latter is an honor bestowed on only four of his predecessors: Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. Brown spoke to US politicians focused mainly on saving American jobs.
