I haven’t seen enough to judge (at least from a Canadian perspective) whether or not His Excellency the Honorable Barack Obama, President of the United States of America has been the best head of State that our southern neighbour has ever had, but I can say with conviction that he has certainly been the most inspirational. Has the president lived up to the inspirational nature of his inauguration? Perhaps not yet, but the awe-inspiring rush of excitement that the world felt at His Excellency’s election has not yet, I feel, worn off.
