David cameron and barack obama video biography

Barack Obama’s long-awaited post-presidential memoir A Promised Land has finally been released, promising to give some juicy insights into the most powerful job on earth.

Naturally, some of this will also include mention of the UK and its leaders during the time he was in office from 2008 to 2016.

It should be noted that this is only the first volume of the president’s memoirs and ends with the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011.

As such there is no mention of how he viewed Brexit and the EU referendum so we’ll have to wait until the next book to learn that.

On the Queen

Way back in 2009, Michelle Obama threw out the royal protocol handbook and dared to hug the Queen while wearing a cardigan over a dress.

It was a move that sent UK newspapers and commentators into a spin, or as President Obama put it a “horrified tizzy”.

He also reveals that “the Queen didn’t seem to mind, slipping her arm around Michelle in return”.
