The UK prime minister reiterated he still wanted a strong response to the suspected chemical weapons attack.
According to Downing Street, Mr Obama said he had not yet decided what action the US would take over Syria.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister made clear that he strongly believes in the need for a tough and robust response to the appalling war crime committed by the Assad regime in Ghouta.
"The PM explained that he wanted to build a consensual approach in Britain for our response and that the government had accepted the clear view of the House against British military action.
"President Obama said he fully respected the PM's approach and that he had not yet taken a decision on the US response."

The two leaders are of the same mind, of course their chat will be friendly. It's like two lovers whose families are fighting. The strain is between the families, the two lovers can have a phone call that is stress free.
Not saying there IS strain between the US and the UK, only that it wouldn't be shown in this phone call.
