It's a rather long clip, the humour is weak, and the faux 'friendship' is at times excruciating, so try and stay focused.
But I think David Cameron is a much more fluid and confident public speaker than Barack Obama, especially under a media grilling. I'm not siding with Cameron because I'm British, but because at times Obama is very stilted and plagued by a glaring loss for words, whereas Cameron seems to absorb and processes an often loaded question with apparent ease.
I like to think I'm fairly familiar with American politics, but I'm curious to know if this apparent lack of oratorical confidence is a common trait in Obama, or just a one-off.
I look forward to your response, America.
