Canada, are you happy now? Do you feel the love?
Yesterday's newspaper headlines around the country--Obama To Visit Canada First. That first matters to Canadians (see my Dec. 19th posting-"Canada's Surprising Obsession").
Yesterday's article explains: New U.S. Presidents, dating to Warren Harding in 1923, have typically made Canada their first international visit following their election. But Mr. Bush deviated from that pattern after his election in 2001.
That deviation seemed like a national trauma. But Obama, healer that he is, will assuage the bruised ego of Canada by gracing us with his FIRST visit. Once again, we're America's favorite child, and all is well north of the 49th parallel.
