    President Obama's visit to Ottawa, Canada

    Photo gallery here, if you are interested. He bought a Beaver Tail...

    http://www.cbc.ca/photogallery/news/1990/

    I like photo 12 - he seems to be looking at Harper with a "don't mess with me, Bucko" expression.

    since i thought beaver tail had formerly been attached to a smaller mammal, i checked google, and sure enough it wasn't (insert relief smilie here). they are called elephant ears here in ohio, are a fried dough pastry, often sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon or other toppings. thanks for the link catty, intresting seeing how other countries see our president.

    Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the photos. One thing I heard that distressed me - he admitted he had never seen a hockey game. Does he have any idea what he is missing?

    Alas, not all of us are blessed with the opportunities to see live hockey games here! I'm not sure Kansas even has any places to play hockey other than in Kansas city.

    I have seen them on tv though. They look like fun to see in person.

    Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

    I used to watch tons of college hockey, and got to see the Devils live once. Hockey in HD is the next best thing!

    Chicago has a team.. the Black Hawks? Obama has no excuse.

    Not to put hockey down but I bet he has other things to do besides watching hockey. ;-)
    We are so lucky to be here to watch one of the greatest moments in history, shows what a person can accomplish when they set their minds to it.

    I think most Presidents have met with Canadian leaders, at least every President since Canada became a country. Hardly a great historical event.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    I don't think shepgirl meant that Obama meeting with a Canadian leader is a great historical event in and of itself. I think she meant that Obama becoming President of the US is a great historical event.

    I've never seen a hockey game either.
