There is so much going on here at the Summit between the most powerful people in the world. I almost said the most powerful men in the world because sadly that is the state of affairs. The German Chancellor Angela Merkil being one if not the only one of the few really powerful women.
Mr Cameron our Prime Minister and President Obama made much of 'the biggest bilateral trade deal in history'
between our two countries. Mr Putin, arguably the second most powerful man in the world looked uncomfortable on camera
when any talk of the trouble spots, especially Syria were mentioned but then he is known to wait until he is back safely in Moscow before going into a rant.
I think the most wonderful thing I have read about and seen on TV is the speech Mr Obama gave to a huge group of Northern Irish children, when he told them to look proudly at their own country and it's achievement in turning
their own troubles and fights into peace. They should be proud he told them and they surely look proud and many of them speaking to camera said they would never forget his message to them.
That is what great statesmen should be doing in my opinion - inspiring the next generation of leaders.
Thank you Mr President.
