继总统 Obama’s one-day whirlwind visit to Ottawa yesterday, which was accompanied by much gushing in the Canadian press, several commentators are wondering whether Canadians might love the new U.S. leader a little too much.

随着 安德鲁·柯尼 博客为 Macleans.ca:

这仅仅是. 因此，. 尴尬. 如果有 anything less attractive than the anti-American streak in our national character — a trait made worse, one suspects, for our neighbours’ sunny indifference to our seething — it is our tendency to prostrate ourselves before American celebrities. And they don’t get any more celebritous than Barack Obama.

在 环球邮报, 专栏作家 玛格丽特Wente 写道：:

问候, 先生. 总统!

欢迎来到加拿大! I can’t tell you how thrilled we are that you are coming up to see us, 如果只是午餐. 从媒体炒作, 您的访问排名有第二次来临. My girlfriends haven’t been this excited since the Beatles came to town (not that you’d remember them). 他们, 太, were more popular than Jesus.

And writing in the 温哥华太阳报, reporter Barbara Yaffe contended that:

兴奋在渥太华 around the presidential visit 不能有更大的 had the guest of honour been 米克·贾格尔, 女王或圣诞老人.

至少 奥巴马给一些爱 他的新的加拿大朋友. “I love this country,” he said, “and I don’t think we could have a better friend and ally.”
