"European" US Prez. Anyhoo, it must come as quite a shock to you Obamaniacs to

Obama in that - I'd offer that the quotes would have been the same regardless of
who the POTUS was.

....and I'm not so sure the Obama gaslamp would be such a good idea in the
US...now, if Barney Frank ever makes it up the ladder...
