Obama's first foreign visit announced.
Obama coming to Ottawa on Feb. 19
U.S. President Barack Obama will be making his first official foreign trip to Canada on Feb. 19, the White House confirmed on Wednesday. (Charles Dharpak/Associated Press)U.S. President Barack Obama will visit Canada on Feb. 19 in his first official trip abroad, the White House announced Wednesday.
No details of the trip, including what city he would visit, were announced, but CBC News has learned that his destination will be Ottawa.
Although Parliament will not be sitting that week, it may be recalled so Obama can address a joint sitting, CBC's Paul Hunter reported.
"This is a testament, not just to the size of our trading relationship and the closeness of our alliance, but also the strength of our friendship," Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the House of Commons.
"I look forward to an important and productive working visit."
Obama had already pledged his first official foreign trip would be to Canada but had not specified a date.
"Canada is a vitally important ally," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters. "The president looks forward to the opportunity to speak with Prime Minister Harper and visit our neighbour to the north."
Former president George W. Bush made his first foreign visit to Mexico.

I'm confused.
Was there something wrong with George Bush visiting Mexico first?

1. Former president George W. Bush made his first foreign visit to Mexico.
Where he promptly got drunk on tequila and ended up running naked around Mexico City.
Yeah, yeah. Ho hum.

2. I think that's great. It's only right that he should visit our neighbors first.
Mexico's not one of our neighbors?

3. I hope he has plenty of SS protection.
I've heard the Canadians can be quite barbaric!
Who knows?--we just learned today some Australian separatists tried to assassinate H.M. the Queen in 1970, so one can't take the Canadians for granted.

Don't make to much fun of Canada, we get almost half our oil (9 million barrels a day) from them. Would have been more if Nancy and the dem's hadn't passed a bill to place sand slope oil off limits to us.

Did not the great Skittle pooper say he wanted to scrap NAFTA? Give the oil to other countries?

I suspect this is another good example of racism on the part of the primitives.
Canada is a white country, Mexico a brown country.
Therefore Canada is more important than Mexico.

How funny would it be if barry got stopped at the border for his association with a known terrorist (Ayers)?

I blame Canada for sending us this damn cold air. They are not supportive OwlGore's GlowBull Warming propaganda.

Yeah, but the wimmins in Montreal are the hottest in the world.

The 'stimulus' bill has a 'buy American' proviso which could hurt trade with Canada. Possibly even launch a trade war.
