I'm not even laughing, my brother woke me up texting me about it. I need to tell him to not text me before 10 AM with anything less important than a 9/11 equivalent or a personal tragedy.
I just... I don't even know man. If they wanted to pick someone to be encouraging they should have picked someone like Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, that's all I'm saying. I personally think that a lot of it is snobby paternalistic Europeans rewarding America for finally not becoming so "barbaric" by electing the farthest-left president we've ever had (though call me about progressivism when France elects a Muslim PM or the UK an Asian) and the usual natter about Our Lord and Savior Barackus Christ.
