OBAMA ELECTED PRESIDENT OF AMERICA JR.

July 1, 2008

Turns out that Canadians like Barack Obama better than any of their politicians. A Canadian poll (North, perhaps?) is going to give a couple of Canucks some pause. CTV reports:

A new poll suggests Canadians would prefer to vote for Barack Obama rather cast a ballot for their own political leaders

  • Barack Obama: 26 per cent
  • [Canadian Prime Minister] Stephen Harper: 21 per cent
  • Hillary Clinton: 16 per cent
  • [New Democratic Party Leader] Jack Layton: 9 per cent
  • I took the liberty of including the titles of Mr. Harper and Mr. Layton because they’re Canadian politicians and nobody in the world knows who the hell runs that country. Until I wiki’d Stephen Harper I thought the Queen of England was still in charge up there. Anyway, I think this will be a nice political advantage for Obama. God knows Americans love taking Canada’s lead. Socialized medicine? Neil Young? Highly restrictive gun laws? Hockey? What’s not to like, eh?
