British Election: David Cameron in Talks With Liberal Democrat Clegg
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThe British Parliament was still "hung" Saturday as the first-place Conservatives -- lacking a clear majority -- started negotiations with the third place Liberal Democrats with the aim of forming a coalition government headed by Conservative leader David Cameron.

President Obama recently sent a letter to French President Jacques Chirac (French) expressing Obama's desire "work together...to build a safer world." It's a nice sentiment. The only problem is that Chirac has not been president of France for over two years.
