1. I love this guy!

I mean, I just LOVE him!

So does the rest of the world. Except for the rightwingnuts here in the US.

Such bad losers.

He's SO FINE and he's OUR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. LMAO @ the pic! Love it!

And he was so funny and charming in that clip! :)

5. Isn't he always, though?

Funny and charming, I mean. Except when he's down to business, like answering a question at a press conference.

But he's never flustered, never stammering, never stuck for the graceful, gracious response, always with a self-deprecating twist, which is just so beautiful.

He does, indeed, call forth our "better angels."

"The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Lincoln would be so damn proud of our President Obama, wouldn't he?

4. What does DU think of Gordon Brown? n/t

[cooolandrew]

6. It so is really he doesn't want to have whole countries opposing him based on a game.

[enlightenment]

7. It would have definitely been a mistake . . . the US

has a team going forward in World Cup (they meet Trinidad & Tobago today, 6:30pm CT on ESPN2)

And kudos to him for calling it by its proper name. Football.

[Catamount]

8. Another K&R

That was cool--thanks--- so far it's the only video I've seen of our Prez abroad--and he looks and sounds great--of course!

[stlsaxman]

10. "Football"! He so rocks!

[ConcernedCanuk]

11. LOL - he's good!

I don't agree with everything he is doing, but he's NOT getting led around by a nose-ring like dim-son was

President Obama is doing most of his own thinking.
