Reading into Obama

One of the worst-headlined Times article of all time, "Obama Calls on Security Council to Punish North" -- it's about President Barack Obama's comments about North Korea's rocket launch today during his speech in Prague -- has a great kicker from one of the thousands of Czechs in the crowd.

Not all were effusive about Mr. Obama’s appearance. Miloslava Krulova, 76, who worked in a bank before she retired, said she was worried that Mr. Obama’s disarmament drive could prove detrimental to global peace.

“I came here today because I admire Obama’s intelligence. He is also a good husband and father. But I am skeptical of his words because trying to get the world to disarm might have the opposite effect.” Noting the throngs of mesmerized youth, she added: “I was shocked that I seemed to be the only elderly lady here. Maybe people of my generation are afraid, that they might not understand Obama and his policies.”
I love how she says he's a "good husband and father"!
