I never thought i'd hear a N.A. leader say "The care of children under five is a priority" which, essentially is what Obama did by disclosing his plan regarding the immediate infusion of service dollars.

Man, o, man - you Americans bloody lucked out. You have an intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, faithful, and good man as President, more savvy even than our own Trudeau (who Nixon called "a son of a bitch".....hahahaah). Anyways, here we are, sitting in the most northern part of these Americas and it is becoming more evident that our "leader" is not understanding the crisis; neither can he lead us through it. We do have a brew-ha-ha going on up here too! Damn it, we're always behind you guys by a couple of years!

With the economic flash point we've reached. we socialists are throwing up banners (quietly, in our basements) thinking that possibly we (the world) might look through a different lens other than money and power. Talk about your "paradigm shift" - not going to happen Only if the world becomes smaller but not while i'm alive, to be sure. But it is interesting being part of the world at this time. So much meat for the fodder.
