You mind if I call you Barack? Oh, OK. Sorry

Pic British Prime Minister David Cameron couldn't resist tweeting a cheesy picture [1] of him apparently having a telephone conversation with the re-elected US president Barack Obama on Thursday afternoon.
So, Barry-o, tell me about this Reddit thing. Where does one read it? How does one write it?
The frankly embarrassing image was also retweeted by the official Number 10 Twitter account - just in case any Britons out there failed to see DC's original message, which read:
Just phoned @BarackObama to congratulate him. He spoke of the UK/US 'outstanding partnership'.
Indeed, the UK has long since moved on from that cosy "special relationship" of the Reagan/Thatcher and Clinton/Blair years.
But our hapless PM, who a few hours earlier suffered an odd grilling [2] from none other than cuddly Phillip Schofield during an uncomfortable daytime telly encounter on ITV1's This Morning, decided that Obama's comment was worthy of a tweet accompanied by a pathetic photograph. ®
