3. And where is Canada's Harper amidst all this bonhomie?
No handshake between him and Obama? Is he sulking off in a corner somewhere?

4. Well....
...this is the closest to a smiley photo I could find:



Methinks Harper is, eh, not a bag of laughs.

He must have come out of his sulky corner for this one.

5. Harper was missing for the G20 group photo.
The photo had to be retaken after he was found in the men's room.

13. He was with him a LOT, the OP didn't post it... I guess because it's not Latin America or no smiling
Who cares really. There are ZERO issues between Obama and Harper as far as I've read. Keep in mind, even a "conservative" Canadian is probably just as "liberal" as Obama. Canada has a far different view of politics.

14. I think, in the end, this is about fixing our international image
Which is partly why so many people voted Obama. We want our standing in the world to be fixed. We no longer want to travel abroad and get harassed. Now we can proudly enter most countries, tell someone we meet that we voted for Obama, and get LOVE. Right makes Might.

17. Not true. The theme of the thread was smiley pics - I couldn't find any of Harper that fit the bill.

20. I think I am going to cry.
The U.S. behavior in South America in the past has been absolutely shameful.
