He's not much of a communicator. He's prickly, late, no new ideas, and his not really getting on well with his party. The Wall Street kid?s? They could make a much better ripple by boycotting Coke or A T and T whilst looking for a real job --- It appears you revere Obama. He's not much of a communicator.

Footage showing a similar visit by former President George W. Bush during his second term was a touch less welcoming. Indeed Parliament Hill (the equivalent to Congress) was filled with hostile, angry protesters, necessitating President Bush to seek an alternate entrance. (Yes, even Canadians can show displeasure). In comparison, President Obama's reception was more like a 1960's love-fest. If nothing else Obama has (with the support of the American people) begun one of the most important missions of his tenure: the repair of America's abysmal standing within the international community. No one seems to see the equity value in the purge of President Bush and V.P., Cabinet members, Vice and advisers. (Wolfowitz and Rove come to mind). Canada and the USA are each other's largest trading partners, and enjoy(ed) one of the closest bonds between two nations in history. When President Obama refers to all Americans being in this together, it is applicable to foreign citizens as much as it is to Americans themselves. Rebuilding the BRAND EQUITY of the USA, will stimulate a spirit of cooperation among nations, vital to the success of any financial recovery plan, or environmental issue. Canada and the majority of Western nations look upon America and its new administration as the unquestioned leader and keeper of our ideals and defenders of freedom. While the Press is fixated upon the collapse of its financial institutions, it would do well to remember that the new spirit of hope that your new President has brought to the international table is an asset of phenomenal value, little noticed by your news media. In a situation where America needs all the cooperation it can get, do not so badly undervalue the growing resurgence of America's international reputation as the bastion of international Western values. President Obama places all of us on the High Ground of a battle which must be won. "Brand Equity" does not confine itself to tins of Soup. And boy are were in the soup right now. The West now begins to open its doors once again to America. And that, you can take to the bank!

And for politicians and unions to promise everything in governmental and union pension plans, and for workers to believe - that's the height of fallacy and stupidity. They will reap what they sow. Unfortunately, the rest of us taxpayers and young folk will also have to eat their bitter harvest as they will make government rescue their pensions by taxing all of the rest of us to oblivion.
