To not have the faintest idea what all this Obama stuff is about??

[whoingodsnameami]

Can you tell I dont watch the news?

don't you have any curiousity about what goes on in the world?
if what you say is true, I'm genuinely perplexed
although I will admit alot of the news is downright depressing
but still...

I find it quite worrying that there are adults in this country who don't know, or care, who he is!

Have the Global credit crisis, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, popular culture etc, etc, etc, not taught you that it is important to know what is happening in the USA at least, if not the rest of the World??

I probably check sky news about once a fortnight when I have absolutely nothing else to do, but then its only a quick glance.

TBH - i'd never admit to being that.... unworldly....

How the fuck can you not know?

How can you not care about what is happening in the World around you??

I never said I dont give a shit, bloody hell!!! I am usually just too busy.

Ah yes luckily there are people who can keep up with these things who have loads of time on their hands like, erm, Gordon Brown

Even if you don't particularly care very much... his name has been been on everyones lips for the last 18 months.

nb he is a celebrity chef, I think

Ok, and what have people been saying about Obama in front of you?

Surely knowing who, arguably, the most powerful man in the World is is something worth setting a little time aside for?

Well , this might confuse you.

They call hum the first black president. he is no more black than he is white, so don't listen to that one

Nothing, I just noticed lots of threads on here about it.

You're too busy? Yet you've been on MN for how long? And how long does it take to google?

Nonsense, no one is too busy to hear, in passing, who is the new PRESIDENT OF THE USA!

But surely you have seen the threads on here? And read them? So you should know who he is?

Am a bit about this really.

I dont' buy newspapers, and we hardly ever watch the news on tv. But dh has the BBC News page set as the homepage on the pc. So we do manage to keep abreast of the news.

by the way this will kill you but GEORGE MICHAEL IS GAY!

easy now girls

Jeepers creepers, three hundred years of American and Western Hemisphere history turned on its head, and you think it's funny not to know about it? I have no words...

I don't believe you. It's history in the making.

BOY GEORGE IS BALD

george is gay???
