How do you think Obama would react?

To a tongue lashing like Gordon Brown receives here in the EU:

I could see Clinton getting all red in the face and angry, I could see Bush reacting like Brown and just laughing it off with a sneer. What about Obama? Would he get angry or just go into Obamatron mode and act like a robot?

I don't admire much about the UK or EU systems but I do like the way how the leaders have to take questions from the 'peanut gallery'. With our system in the US there is a great deal of sniping in press conferences and Sunday TV shows but I like the face-to-face better I think.

Update:

Adam - I phrased that poorly. What I really meant is that I think the system of Checks and Balances in the United States is more effective then in other places. I meant no disrespect.

    Obama plays it cool. I don't think we'd see any blow-ups.

    And just out of curiousity, can you explain what it is that you don't admire about the UK and the continental European political systems?

    Forgive me for being dense here, but if the UKIP doesn't support the EU Parliament, why are they getting elected on the same 'gravy train' they condemn others for joining?

    He would react like he does with every other issue....and that's with professionalism!

    That's exactly what is giving America a good image. I don't think they'll be any shoes thrown at Obama by foriegners....LOL
