At least President Elect Obama is showing the good sense to get to Canada as soon as he can after his inauguration. Hopefully he'll stay long enough to learn how to run a banking system that doesn't need bailouts to be profitable and a health care system that doesn't leave the disadvantaged disadvantaged.

I hope that he's not too disappointed when we don't seem impressed that a member of a minority community is occupying high offfice. Our present Governor General, a woman, arrived in Canada as a refugee from Haiti, and her predecessor was from the Asian community.
There is a vast difference between a strategic withdrawal and losing a war.

The old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together," is as true of Seagulls as it is of Eagles.

Why would it surprise anybody to see a socialist head to the northern side of the icy curtain?

Maybe he'll learn how to form a government like the CFL: out of players who couldn't make the cut in a real league.

America has had minority Generals for a long time. Ever hear of Colin Powell?

Maybe we could learn to run our banking system with 50 cent dollars, and our hospitals with doctors who couldn't qualify for a green card.
