Obama's Beavertail

Barack Obama made his entourage stop on the way from the House of Commons to the Airport for a beavertail. From what I hear, they are fantastic. Appearently so much so that the Leader of the Free world had to stop and get one to see what all the fuss was about.

Or

Obama is a smart guy. He is not the type of president who’s intelligence can be ‘misunderestimated.’ It’s possible that he knew the significance of beavertail and beavers in the annals of Canadian history and culture, and it was so simple, yet so grand a gesture, to stop his motorcade and get one.

A culturally motivated gesture? Or simple, vapid public-relations?

Simple, vapid public relations? Yes he can.

Obama’s campaign to be the first African-American president resided not only on his charm and intelligence, but more so a carefully crafted slogan and campaign. Yes we can! Change! Both of which have been the cries of youth, since times’ were a’changing back in the 1960s when Americans spoke out and rallied for causes. The Obama campaign was a throwback to that. Only with the efficiency of 21st communication.

His campaign seemed to be simple yet intricate. An easy idea on a grand scheme. And also, something that, it seemed had never been done before in American politics. Include the masses. It's simplicity is amazing.
