Gordon Brown for Obama

Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown (Labour) has endorsed Barack Obama’s presidential bid.

Writing in the Parliamentary Monitor magazine, Brown said,  “In the electrifying US presidential campaign, it is the Democrats who are generating the ideas to help people through more difficult times. To help prevent people from losing their home, Barack Obama has proposed a Foreclosure Prevention Fund to increase emergency pre-foreclosure counselling, and help families facing repossession.”

In the same article, Brown said he would “rethink” Labour policies. More from the Telegraph here.

Earlier today, former New York mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat, also endorsed Obama and called Sarah Palin “scary.” That’s the same sentiment as mega-conservative Ben Stein, who said last week, “She scares me.”
