Obama More Popular With Canadians Than Harper
"If Canadians had to choose between U.S President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Stephen Harper or any other federal party leader, Obama would have won in a landslide, according to an exclusive Leger Marketing poll conducted for Sun Media.
When Canadians were asked who they feel is the superior leader, none of the Canadian politicians even came close. In fact "don't know" polled higher than any Canadian leader.
In a poll of 1,501 Canadians, 57% said Obama had the qualities they most valued in a leader. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was far behind with 14% of respondents judging him the superior leader."

I remember seeing Trudeau and Reagan side by side and how it looked more like father-son than near peers.
I saw Obama and Harper on TV today. Obama look bright, cheerful, fresh and had a beaming smile.
Harper--well you just had to see how sad and slumped over he was and with a forced smile on his face.
A case of contrasts and there was no mistaking whom the crowds were there to see.
When do we get our Obama?

With typical British reserve the BBC said it best...
"It would be fair to say that Prime Minister Harper has avoided the temptations of charisma."
Now there is a quote I am saving for future use!
