What do you mean, he's not president?

Obama's world tour is going great guns: they took him seriously in the Middle East and in Berlin two hundred thousand people turned out pretty much to anoint his feet with oil.  Two hundred thousand for a candidate they can't even elect.  Seems that he's pitching this as the Next Leader Of The Free World Tour and the rest of us out here in the world, we pretty much like that. 

Let's face it after eight years of Captain Catastrophe, Barney the frakking Dinosaur would be an improvement but I'm not seeing simple relief here, I'm seeing desperate relief and a thread of actual, genuine, Kennedy-flavoured optimism.  Crikey.

I wonder how much impact this will have on his electability in the US (you know, where his voters are)?

Who could take McCain seriously anyway, he's named after an oven chip? ;)

Only 5% brain.

Also he looks like he belongs behind the wheel of a state trooper car wearing a Stetson and chasing Burt Reynolds in a Trans-Am.

Harsh, but fair.

Whereas Obama looks cool enough to be played by Will Smith in the biopic.
