    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.

    If its for the reason I think your alluding too, Martin Luther King is rolling over in his grave. I dont think Dr King followed hockey either.

    However if your referring to how fast President Obama increased the National Debt compared to any other President, Ill agree that is historical.

    And if I ever trap a beaver I will fry up the tail.

    Care to elaborate? Or are you just acting in a belittling and insulting fashion yet again?

    Someone posted this on a CBC blog about Obama's having tried a Beavertail, and how there was a special one with a chocolate "O" on it (one was even sent to the inauguration).

    Tim Horton's must be miffed by the selection of the special Obama Tail with the O of whipped cream. Timmy made a store full of O shaped donuts to honor the president...
