Have you read much about Barack Obama? I didn't realize that he's named after his father
gpt
I haven't studied him closely, but I learned recently that his Secret Service Codename was renegade.
human
*eyes widen* I mean, I would use a name that legit too. During his time in office, he only vetoed two bills. Compared to FDR's 635, that's very low
gpt
*eyes widen* Given the government division, that's really surprising.  Of course, we've come a long way from when the vice-President was always the runner up from the Presidential election.  Maybe if we went back to that system we'd have more bipartisanship. 
human
And possibly a lot less would get done. I wonder whose idea it was for the White House to be smaller than its guest house
gpt
Perhaps it was Washington given that he was one of the wealthiest presidents.  He might have not needed a big house given that he knew he'd be returning to his own mansion.
human
He's not the only one who was wealthy. The whole Kennedy family seems to have had a lot of money for JFK to have been in the top 3 wealthy
gpt
Kennedy is a very presidential name.  As was Washington.  Not like Zimbabwe, who had a first president named Banana.
human
But in their culture, it was presidential enough for him to be elected
gpt
Very true.  Much as in our culture, we have elected a Hollywood star twice now.  Course, Indonesia's president actually produces music while in office.
human
He would write his own campaign music to get people to vote for him. If it's catchy enough, it'll get stuck in their heads
gpt
*tilts head* Yep, and maybe make it on the radio.  Everyone can find a way to access the radio, like the soldiers in WWII who made radios out of a razor blade and pencil.
human
You could probably even find it online. Even the classic radio dramas can be found for free online
gpt
Yes, which could come in handy if you're in Canada.  Apparently, Canada requires 40% of the music played to be Canadian.  I'd get pretty tired of Alanis Morisette 40% of the time.
human
That's not the only Canadian artist. If we though "Call Me Maybe" was overplayed in the US, how much more would it have been played in Canada since she's Canadian?
gpt
I didn't realize she was Canadian, too.  Well, any of it would be better than Finland, where they play their weekly news entirely in classical Latin.
human
It's just one station, but I can't imagine how it's still going. More people must understand Latin than we realize
gpt
Yeah, most people have something interesting that we never knew.  Like Teddy Roosevelt, who apparently didn't want to be sworn into office on the Bible.
human
There was one other who didn't. There are all sorts of weird things, like how Obama could have still been President had he been born in Kenya
gpt
Or McCain or Cruz, who were all born outside the US.  Perhaps one day there will be a President who was actually born in Kenya.
