“Cameron has adhered closely to the free market doctrine,” he wrote, “after promising voters that his program of deficit reduction and cuts in government services, as well as regulatory reform and trade expansion, will usher in a new era of British competitiveness “.
Obama added: “Instead, as expected, the British economy fell into a deeper recession.”
Vladimir Putin

Obama described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “strict, cunning and unemotional.”
Obama said: “In fact, Putin reminded me of the kind of men who ran Chicago. They are tough personalities with insensitive cunning. They know what they know. They did not shy away from their narrow experiences. They considered favoritism, bribery, extortion, fraud and sporadic violence as legitimate tools of commerce. “
Nicolas Sarkozy
Obama said the former French president picked up “all the emotional excitement and exaggerated speeches,” he looked more like “a figure from the Toulouse-Lautrec paintings.”

“It is not my intention to offend,” he adds, “the German leader thought that dislike of a potential demagogue might be a healthy thing.”
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Obama found the Turkish leader “very friendly and generally responsive to my requests.”
She added, “However, every time I heard him speak, his tall stature leaned slightly forward, his voice trailed off, his tone rose in reaction to various complaints or alleged offenses. I had the strong impression that his commitment to the democracy and the rule of law could continue. ” On the condition that they retain their authority. “
Manmohan singh
The former Indian prime minister has been described as “very wise, sober and honorable” and “a key architect of India’s economic transformation”.
Obama noted that Singh was “a humble technocrat who earned the people’s trust not by appealing to their emotions, but by raising the standard of living and maintaining a good reputation because he was not corrupt.”
Vaclav Klaus
Obama had admired Vaclav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution, but found his successor, Vaclav Klaus, more disturbing.

Obama said he feared that the eurosceptic president would represent the populist rise of the right in Europe, embodying “how the economic crisis (2008-2009) fueled nationalist impulses, anti-immigrant sentiment and suspicion of (European) integration.”
He added: “The tide of hope full of democracy, liberation and integration that swept the world after the end of the Cold War has begun to recede.”
