Barack the Rock Star

So i was listening to some CBC Radio (which should be mandatory for anyone with an opinion to listen to before making said opinion), and the Obama presidential visit was what was on. They were interviewing people who had come from quite a way and waited in Ottawa's cold to catch a glimpse of the president. Okay, that's cool, i get that it's history in the making and all that, but they made a point of the fact that Mr. Obama waved at the crowd. Now if you can remember the last time anybody wanted to go through all that to see a head of state (without the intention of throwing a shoe at him) you probably do so with the help of alzhiemer medication, cause that was back with JFK and Trudeau.

So to recap, hundreds if not thousands of people waited around in the cold for hours to catch a few seconds of Barack Obama, and were satisfied with a wave to the crowd. That is a rock star if i ever heard one. I can see the Obama tattoos and groupie fan clubs now.

Not anything against Obama. I for one have full confidence in him (as far as that translates in the real world), but really people, enough of the hero worship. You are the people who vote based on which party colours match your wardrobe. Leave him alone for a while and let him do his job.
