So far as the news this side of the Atlantic went, this rates somewhat lower than the latest antics of Jade Goody. The general attitude the Obama I'm aware of is generally impressed, but not hanging on his every sylable the way the US apparantly is.

Don't care. And from what I heard they were special edition.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yes, but still above which new flavour of Walkers Crisps is going to win their competition. It registers, but not so much that I'll spend more than a few seconds thinking about it.
