Best Obama Headline

[alexiscartwheel]

"He came, he saw, he sprinkled us with stardust" says the Observer. (The article, bizarrely, is from tomorrow. Oh, time zones.) According to Euan Ferguson, "Obama's visit... was little short of messianic."

If you've missed out this week, Barack Obama hung out with Angela Merkel, Nicholas Sarkozy, and Gordon Brown this week and was swamped by adoring fans along the way. Europe has "Obamamania" big time. How crazy would that be to have an American president that's actually respected abroad?

The article's definitely worth a read even if you aren't following the campaign closely just for the irreverent tone. I do like the New York Times, but they can make even Comic-Con seem boring and square, and only the Op-Eds are ever humourous. Hooray for the international perspective!

I think we're all desperate to have an American president who is, you know, intelligent? I was watching the speech he gave to the press on Saturday night and I thought My God, you can actually see him THINKING. How amazing is that? Glad the article made you smile.

YES PLEASE! And really, gaining some respect back in Europe in the rest is just a bonus to, you know, having a president who actually has the smarts to run the country properly. While we're at it, maybe we'll get a VP who doesn't shoot people in the face...

I know this is so wrong but I laughed out loud at that.

It's funny cause it's true.
