I am not American either. I'm a British expat living in Canada. I believe the world was so much better when Barak and Michelle were in charge. I wish with all my heart that they could come back into power. They were a real team and the welfare of people was their main concern--not power or riches or "stardom". Dear God, if there is some way we can make Barak president again (or Michelle), please make it happen.
