of his speech, the Speaker's face went red, and he got that face like he was becoming emotional himself. Of course, I cried. It was very emotional.

President Obama paid a visit to the Canadian parliament today to deliver a speech before the House of Commons, the first time a U.S. President has done so since Bill Clinton spoke in 1995.

He was greeted enthusiastically; indeed, some might say like a rock star.


Obama was greeted and interrupted frequently by sustained standing ovations and cheers as he entered the House of Commons, shaking hands with cabinet ministers as he took his seat, and throughout his speech.


Both leaders are warning against following politicians peddling what they describe as false populism and "demagogues" with easy answers to hard problems. Obama says "there aren't a lot of short cuts" to solving global problems.

He probably can't wait to get the hell out of there and give a big old middle finger to all the obstructionists.

the cheers for four more years really surprised him. PM Trudeau was pleased with the reception our President received. He started off with praise for Gordy Howe and then one of the Canadian celebrities was in the audience and he bragged that many thought she was American..just to show how close the two nations are. It was an awesome speech and I will miss him terribly.
