Reply #56: The world expects him to make a statement

[Laughing Mirror]

The president of France can go to Israel, the king of Spain can say stop it, but none of them carry much weight in their supporting roles in the eyes of the world. The star is Obama. The international audience is wondering why Obama hasn't come on the stage to say his part. Why he is still in the wings?

I wonder if most people outside of the US probably think he already is the president. Call it Bush fatigue maybe, but I think the world has forgotten Bush by now or think he's gone. If they know anything about January 20, I imagine they think of it as some sort of formal ceremony to celebrate Obama, the man they already think of as the US president. They wonder why he's not saying anything.
