I guess it's better than nothing. I wonder if he's wearing a black turtleneck and has giant hands like in the how to videos.

That doesn't look good for these users: "We particularly regret to report the loss in the affected accounts of approximately 10% of the messages received between July 16 and July 18"

There are an awful lot of US citizens and military in Germany don't forget. And it's a bloody good poster. (edit - 270,000, the fourth largest ex-pat community to be precise and apparently, they traditionally lean Republican) - http://tinyurl.com/6dvqka

I'm spending lots of time in Russia these days and more than one person has expressed the sentiment that the President of the United States has more influence in their life than the president of their own country. That makes the Presidential Election in the USA very important to people all over the world.

very interesting comment scott, I think tht the president of the US is sort of a role as president of the world, everyone worldwide has an opinion of him and knows who he is and his decisions have an effect on everyone

If the world citizens had a chance to vote in the US elections, Obama would be the winner. And, Scott is right. The US President influences a lot more people than just the citizens of USA.

a cranky old man who's a night watchman at my company -- and I'm always working late it seems -- says obama will rise from obscurity and charm the entire world with nothing but his words and his charisma. check on the oratorical power. check on rising from obscurity. check on charming the world now. and then that cranky old man said, read the Book of Revelations to see what happens next... ummmm.....

@Jody, actually Bush had more executive experience than Obama does. I believe the phrase fits.

Not to mention Bush would probably repeat Kennedy's faux pax and declare himself a jelly-filled donut.

@Benedict That's the problem with discussing an image. There may well be an English equivalent. @Ryan Petty LOL.

@Mark "The citizens of Berlin do refer to themselves as Berliner; what they do not refer to as Berliner are jelly doughnuts. While these are known as "Berliner" in other areas of Germany, they are simply called Pfannkuchen (pancakes) in and around Berlin." (Wikipedia)

I've had Germans tell me otherwise. The use of the indefinite article "ein" was what made it wrong. The proper nomenclature is "Ich bin Berlinner."

Wang says he did not regret that Americans had come up with "Kung Fu Panda" first. "Why shouldn't we allow foreigners to make these kinds of movies? Sooner or later, Chinese people will realize that the best things we have are the things we already have."
