During the federal election few paid attention in America. But when Harper stops to play some mini-golf when he visits friends they go ga-ga. Sort of.

Typical and silly. I am disappointed with this style of texting and insult. I can out perform men half my age athletically and other areas... and I have a middle age paunch. Not ashamed of it at all. What shape are you in? |

How about down to earth. Harper doesn't fly around to premier golf courses in Airforce One like President Obomination. |

What just a couple of comments and the rest just peek? Where are the rest of the Harperites? Or has this forum been flooded with other preferences?
I added an article by Adam Daifallh "It's cool to be a Canadian" to the weblog piece.

I loved this video of the PM. It is too bad that it takes an American media outlet to show him in a favourable light. As far as the paunch goes, I would take him paunch and all in a heartbeat. There are lots of "washboard" stomachs out there not worth a plug nickel.
Unfortunately I am just an old broad looking at our sexy PM......lol |

Teabag... you're okay in my book. And there are many of us who don't mind dancing belly to belly. |

I second Teabag's comments, and if she's an 'old broad', she's still probably more fun than Lady Gaga on her best day ... and good for EOJ for giving her a little moral support. (Teabag should just be aware that EOJ may be wearing silk pantyhose, as he spins her around the dance floor.) ;-)
We don't see these kinds are stories in the Canadian media because our people are committed to a 'narrative' that shows Harper to be cold, calculating, and roboticly intent on sacrificing the environment to big oil.
Giving the public footage of him having fun in a humble, every-day kind of way, and being charming to a couple of kids, doesn't extend that narrative.
But for the local American channel, he's merely a distinguished visitor, and they simply show him enjoying their town. This is probably what our PM is like, when not packaged up in a narrative that really has very little to do with the man inside. He has friends, he plays mini-golf, and goofs off on holiday weekends.
You may think I'm making this up, but that's how the media people think. |

Ya thanks to the majority of spending coming from:
