Obama has done better than expected, that trillion dollars the G20 will pitch in for the IMF to help third worlders, the 5 thousand additional NATO troops from the EUers, and he didn't cave to Sarkozy's ambitious protagonism. I'm unaware of anything meritorious Mrs. Obama did. I don't think she dresses well, but this is a matter of taste.

it would be cool if our debates revolved more around the world's great political personalities instead of just political events.

I agree and propose a thread to debate how the world's leading figures address the issues. I think we should agree on who is included and then consider how they deal with whatever issues arise. I nominate the heads of state of the G8 as the world's "great political personalities" and maybe add one or two more so it doesn't get too complicated tracking down each's pronouncements and perspectives on whatver issue.
