Future visit
U.S. President Barack Obama wrapped up a lengthy news conference with a pledge to return to Canada - when it's warmer. And with a broad smile he also thanked the Canadians who headed stateside to help with his election campaign.
Mad dash
Obama waved to the crowd again as he was leaving Parliament Hill. When everyone realized the motorcade was heading east, hundreds of people ran in that direction to see if they could see him again. The snow is ankle deep and rough terrain from thousands of footprints, so everyone was stumbling and giggling as they ran. Then when the motorcade disappeard around the corner, there was another stampede to Wellington St. People were cheering and waving as it crossed onto Elgin St. To head back to the airport. Then when the frenzy was over, all you could see were people checking their cameras to see if they had the shot they had been hoping for, still gasping for breath from the run through the snow and cold air.

Souvenir shopping
After leaving Parliament Hill, the President made an unscehduled stop in Ottawa's Byward market, sparking pandemonium among the afternoon shoopers.
He stopped at the Oxxo Silk Market. He emerged with a keychain that he purchased with Canadian currency, telling Ann Compton, "I was looking for a key chain and a snow globe for my daughters." He said he was continuing a tradition started during the campaign, picking up memorobilia at every stop.
Shoppers crowded his every move, snapping pictures. Obama then said he was looking for a Beaver Tail, a famed local pastry. He entered Le Moulin de Provence and announced he wanted Canadian cookies. The baker, from the South of France, obliged with Maple Leaf cookies, according to the pool report provided by an American reporter accompanying the president.
"I figure I'd get some points from may daughters," Obama said. The baker refused his cash -- don't know if they were loonies. "It's for your daughters," he said. "It's not for you."
As he emerged from the market, a woman waited for him with the Beaver Tail. He took it, posed for some pictures, then ducked back into his limo.
Obama and a $5 bill
Adnan Ustun, manager of OXXO Silk & Gift store in the ByWard Market, holds the $5 bill Obama used to buy a keychain for one of his daughters. He is also holding another one of the keychains, which has a moose on it.

Treats for Obama
Obama bought two Maple Leaf cookies at the Le Moulin de Provence bakery during his unscheduled stop in the ByWard Market. While he was there, BeaverTails employee Jessica Milien, 17, brought him an Obama tail, a version of the deep-fried patry coated with cinnamon and sugar and decorated with the letter O made with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and maple syrup.

Yeah, I heard he dropped off the Cosby kids at the pool.
I'm wondering how some naive Americans would read the headline; " Obama makes a special exit for some Hooker's beaver tails". |

Honestly. Ok. just as tired as people are of hearing about Obamania and all the hoopla surrounding him... I'm tired of people complaining about how he is, how he's a fraud, etc... Like c'mon, for those who follow and know politics...they should know that there are a multitude of factors and variables that decides on who the President will be. Quit with the old tiring who 'would be' better, or 'could be' better. There were 2 candidates to choose from in the end, McCain & Obama + their choices of VP. You must be a retard if you think that McCain & his choice for VP would've been the best choice.
..and that's the bottom line.
Obama may not be the ideal presidential candidate, but considering the options, I think they got it right this time.
My opinion. Feel free to state yours.
p.s. I wonder if Obama ate the beaver tail? fak. I could go for one right now...w/ Maple Syrup |
