If the US enjoyed naturalization laws as lax as Belgium's, the 2008 presidential election might have been quite different: the GOP would likely have picked Arnold Schwarzenegger as its best candidate for the White House (regardless of his being born in Austria). It'd surely have been a whole 'nother ballgame, wouldn't it? Obama, the skinny, chain-smoking, junior senator from Illinois vs Schwarzenegger, the former Hollywood star, the virile, sporty governor of California... instead of gramps McCain. Totally agree with you, at all points. McCain vs Obama, I admit that with US voting rights I may have voted for Obama and like many of those who did, later bitterly regretted my stupidity. McCain? As you state it, an old grumpy man... The change of that US law is long over due. Then all so called 'birther' discussions related to Obama had been for the toilet. If, as you say, Obama had ever won the nomination, which against Schwarznegger he wouldn't have done, no way. Funny enough, Arno's family name may be as close to Obama's skin color any of those favoring that would ever have wished :) /Taro
