Obama says US must work with its allies

AP, London
Presidential contender Barack Obama yesterday defended his decision to travel to Europe and the Middle East, saying that problems encountered by Americans at home are often best dealt with by working wit h allies overseas.
Obama, who spoke to reporters after wrapping up talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, said he wasn't sure if there would be any immediate political impact from the trip and that he wouldn't be surprised if there was a dip in some of the polls in the week since he left home. People in the U.S., he said, are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures.
"The reason that 1 thought this trip was important is that I am convinced that many issues that we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad," he said. "And unless we get a handle on Iraq and Afghanistan, not only are we going to be less safe, but it's also going to be a huge drain on resources.”
Obama said he and Brown discussed a wide range of issues, such as climate change, terrorism and financial markets.
"The prime minister's emphasis like mine is on how we can strengthen the trans-Atlantic relationship to solve problems that can’t be solved by any single coun-tryindividually.'hesaid.
The Democratic hopeful seemed relaxed as he strolled down to the prime minister's office at 10 Dowhing St., pausing briefly to shake the hands of two somewhat startled police officers standing near the door.
He turned to television cameras, smiled, waved and said "hello" before walking into Number 10. Brown greeted him just inside the door.
Pooled television images showed Brown offering Obama a chair on the Downing Street terrace before the pair settled down for two hours of talks.
They later took a stroll in the sunshine around Horse Guards Parade, the vast open space where 'iriffTtary reviews?$uch'a^Trio/iIng^
the Color, are often held. Tourists snapped pictures from a distance while security guards walked ahead of the two men.
Hie walk offered a photo opportunity with a London backdrop for Obama, whose visit to Britain has been decidedly low-key. particularly after the huge crowds he drew earlier in the week in Germany.
Obama later said he had also wanted to take a walk through St. James' Park, but security guards pulled him and Brown back. The park is near Buckingham Palace, home of Queen Elizabeth 11.
Obama stressed the importance of the bond between the two nations.
"We’ve been through world wars together. We speak a common language. We share a belief in rule of law and due process." he said "We just like the people. There is a deep and abiding affection for the British people in America and a fascination with all things British that's not going to go away any time soon.'
The Illinois senator also offered reassurance to Brown, whose plummeting popularity took another hit this week when he lost a parliamentary by-election in a Scottish seat long held by the governing Labour Party. But Obama pointedly said Brown didn't need his political advice.
