The President's first four calls

I know, I know — everyone in Canada is ga-ga for Obama. Still it's kinda cool that when Obama decided to make his first calls to world leaders, he told his staff: Get me the leaders of Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Great Britain on the phone. After those, then I'll do the Secretary General of the United Nations.

Am I being a homer for noting that Obama called Harper first? I dunno. But the British were pretty chuffed that Brown was the first Euro-leader to hear “Prime Minister, I have the President of the United States on line 1.”

Shame about the minor typo in the White House press release but, as someone who's made oodles in his career, who's gonna complain?
