US President Barack Obama and his wife first lady Michelle Obama, walk hand in hand as they leave Downing Street…
..
Just over two months into his presidency, Barack Obama commanded center stage at this high-wattage gathering of the world’s industrialized nations, vacuuming up attention both inside the summit and throughout a sophisticated city not easily star-struck.
Obama proclaimed at the end of the conference that his country would be more humble in the world, but there was nothing modest about the attention he received.
His profile was so immense that it threatened to diminish both the global summit itself and the protests taking place on the streets of London.
