When leaders of other countries take office, they're lucky to be mentioned on page 4 of major American newspapers. No wonder most American's can't even name the President of Mexico or the King of Canada. (Canada does have a king, don't they?)
But when you're elected to the highest office in America? People know. People were streaming the inauguration speech to their work computers last night.

Living abroad, I can tell you this cartoon isn't much of an exaggeration.

With a name like Couchepin, you'd think if not the NY Times, at least he'd get a mention on Letterman or Leno. But no.
The Finnish President did gain quite a following via Conan, though.
We're enjoying your musings!
