Not really.  I don't think there are too many people who think that Obama is a step up from Bush.

He is; the issue is which step?  At the very least, he doesn't look like a chimpanzee who'll fling poo at the camera at any moment. :P
Experience bij!

That bow was nothing compared to the one he did for the daughter-in-law-elect.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

To be honest, I don't really care about the physical attractiveness of the President either.

I never said it was a big step or an important one. :contract:

I don't know there should be some minimum threshold. After all, he (one day she) becomes the face of America.

Bullshit.  He is clearly taller.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I understand that you need to get the protocol right, but really, isn't it BFD material?  Are Japanese now going to think "Hey, he acknowledged we're superior.  Prepare the invasion force at once."

Stupid.
Agreed.  I'm not too thrilled with his cartoon either.
