Hugo the Abominable Snowman. The Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961)
In his first media interview since taking over as US ambassador this month, Louis Susman, a fundraiser for President Barack Obama’s campaign, insisted that the US wanted to ditch the image America has in Britain as being a “dumb” and “bullying” power, and to reach out to communities across the UK, including Muslim groups.

Mr Susman said he wanted British impressions of the US to improve after
the Bush years. “We are not a dumb power, we are not a bullying power,”
he said. “We want to build partnerships, we want to listen, we want to
consult, we want to co-operate, and that’s what I want to do. I think
that there have been eight years of difficult times for America abroad
and anybody who doesn’t agree with that isn’t looking at reality.”
