No sooner had David Cameron landed on US soil, than he was being whisked off in Air Force One to do that most American of things: watch a basketball game. A Mississippi Valley State University vs. Western Kentucky University basketball game in Ohio, to be precise.

Of course, being the coolest man on the planet - as well as a mean basketball player himself - President Obama looked completely at ease during the whole thing. David Cameron, less so. As you can see from our gallery, whether it was greeting the crowds, eating a hot dog or simply watching the game, Obama makes everything look utterly effortless - while our own leader looks British. And posh. And not unlike your dad trying to be cool.

That said, we have every belief that your dad is cooler than David Cameron. Just take a look:

David Cameron: The Welfare Reform Bill Will Tackle the Blight of Welfare Dependency

Today marks an historic step in the biggest welfare revolution in over 60 years. My government has taken bold action to make work pay, while protecting the vulnerable. Past governments have talked about reform, while watching the benefits bill sky rocket and generations languish on the dole and dependency. This government is delivering it. Our new law will mark the end of the culture that said a life on benefits was an acceptable alternative to work.

Over the past 18 months we've put a massive amount of effort and investment into strengthening apprenticeships in this country - and it shows. Last year more than 450,000 people started an apprenticeship, roughly the same number as those who started in higher education.

I like the fact none of the crowd offered to shake 'Dave's' hand when he entered the arena, thought he must have been an aide dressed casually.

If this is funny, I don't get it. I don't see anything Cameron is doing that is an attempt to be cool, nor anything that is a failed attempt to be cool.

He's just watching an NCAA basketball game.

Now I'm pissed cause whoever wrote this wasted my time and that of everyone else.

The guy is a proper chief. I would be mortified if not for the fact that I didn't vote for him, so it's not my fault. On a semi-related matter, my son is also mixed race, and was born on Mr. Obama's birthday last year; Britain's first mixed race P.M.? We can but hope...
