Our President and First Lady are having a very good visit to the UK and for the G7,

I am surprised there are so few articles and posts about it here on DU.

The expressions of the participants and people we have been given photos are full of smiling and or at least pleasant looking faces, not the strained expressions in that visit by the turnip.

I admit I am a bit of an Anglophile, with a Great Grandfather from Yorkshire (Father's side) and a Great Grandmother from Wales, (Mother''s side), so the connection is not that distant and there are still stories and family legends. I may have spent more time than average reading the articles and looking at the photos.

I have noticed though that sites like thehill .com, politico .com and a few others all are featuring conservative writers making picks and digs at the Bidens and Joe. Such pitiful attacks.

I'm not including links, we all have preferences but naturally bbc.com has the most to offer, but pbs has coverage.

Strange isn't it, how muted the coverage is, considering the coverage given earlier U.S. Presidential visits to UK.

That is probably my point, the muted coverage of this visit.

*edit: EU to G7
