David Preiser has already covered this story but I wanted to put in this little post-script. I think you need to listen to the soundtrack below whilst contemplating Mark Mardell on Today this morning, eulogising Obama’s State of the Union address last evening. The love he evidently feels for President Haughty moved me- as I am sure it will move you. However I am worried that if things don’t go as the scrupulously impartial Mark hopes, this may yet prove unrequited.
HOW DO I BEGIN…?.

What was it that Peter marshall called Stephen Pollard?
Mardell is much more desevrving of the epithet “fat F–K” than the erudite and honest Pollard
In response to your “Love Story” clip, David, I offer you this from the Liberal TV show “West Wing”. Note the similarities between the character Santos and Obama’s utterences.
Am I fanciful in thinking a scriptwriter or two from “West Wing” helped craft Obama’s words?
It sounds as though Obama’s election speech – sorry, State of the Union speech – was as hackneyed as ever, repeating past platitudes. Strange that Mardell does not tell us this :
