Who is Herman?

He had been president of the lower house of parliament from July 2007
and was at times critical of Leterme's government. -- He was budget
minister in 1993-1999 under the Christian Democrat-led government of
Jean-Luc Dehaene and brought Belgium's debt down sharply from 130
percent of gross domestic product in the year he took office. Regarded
as a budgetary hardliner, he was critical of government plans to spend
its way out of a recession.

Jean -- a proposal for you.

For president we'll trade you Barack Hussein Obama for Herman van
Rompuy. All you need to do is get a "Certification of Live Birth" from
Hawaii (it's easy to do), or doctor the internet image posted from
Obama's website and substitute von Rompuy's name as appropriate. The
media will make sure any investigation into its authenticity is
ridiculed and goes nowhere.

How about it? I like this von Rompuy guy. Sure, "center left" in
Europe means he thinks Stalin should have been more discrete... but
that's an improvement over what we have here on this side of the pond.
