They may be trying to come together to save the world - but coming together for a team photo appears beyond them.

BBC News:

G20 leaders had to restage a "family" pic after Canadian PM Stephen Harper failed to show up - officials denied reports he had taken a toilet break. An attempt to restage the shoot was scuppered when Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi failed to arrive.A third attempt may be made later for the definitive record of the one-day gathering of leaders in London. The official photographer will be hoping that there are no last minute hitches over the communique - given that French President Nicolas Sarkozy had threatened before the summit to walk out if it he was not happy with aspects of the deal.

With the current dire financial problems in the world, what a waste of money and time, just for a dog and pony show in London.

I guess PM Brown of England must think this affair and sucking up to Obama will help his election chances. Lets hope not.

Amazed that Carole James twin, Nancy Pelosie, Hack in the Box, didn't show to clap for Obama at the G20 meeting.
