No kidding! Can anyone here imagine the Obamas actually hugging regular workers like these miners? Or, for that matter, spending almost two days at the mine, making sure they got out ok? Not to mention devoting so many resources to their rescue. I'd vote for the Chilean guy over Obama just about any day. (and he's probably just as qualified as Obama--neither one is a true natural born citizen, after all)
I thought the First Lady of Chile was awesome. She kept the families engaged and somewhat relaxed while their men were being lifted out. Michelle could never have been that gracious.
