"Obama came to a summit of world leaders this week as arguably the most popular politician here"

Jeez, what does that say about Italy's most popular politician?

Personally speaking, I am totally bored with Obama and his entourage. I find his speeches more boring than George Bush`s. At least with George Bush there was an element of anticipation, wondering what the guy was going to come out with next. Obama is just plain boring.

I still dont know what the fuss is about Obama? That he can memorize some nice speech written by an army of local experts?

Show me the dough...

After hearing a few of recent speeches, Obama's style of rhetoric is becoming quite repetitive. Not really of a fan of his substance let alone his style of speech.
