thinking of stealing your president

Just listened to the speech. He made me cry again. Dammit.

....so, British people, who's for kidnapping him? We want a Prime Minister who is not just intelligent, but articulate and pretty and charismatic. One that we *voted* for.

ETA : anyone got an mp3 of it? The BBC version keeps glitching when i record it and I want something for ipod-type gadget...

Still nseems too good to be true.... waiting for the assasin`s bullet or a serious reversal of his policies...
Worrying that people act like he`s president of the world....

I remember a few Americans saying the same about Blair a few years ago!

I still haven't heard the speech. Must check it out later

I was just thinking along those lines.
The UK had one (pretty, articulate, etc) and decided it didn't like him after a few years.

I'm not holding my breath, even Kennedy had off days (Bay of Pigs) and Blair's abuse of goodwill in his eternal search for Tony's Falklands (First Kosovo, then Macedonia, Afghanistan, Iraq... While sitting on his hands over Zimbabwe and Israel.)

If Mr O can take a 5-10% approval rating cut on the chin WITHOUT orchestrating a 'Nightsights on CNN' invasion to make himself the Ross Kemp of the world political stage - I'll be impressed. However, if he starts taking financial advice from Our Flash... I'm really sorry, America - you're fucked.
