The Mentalist's Simon Baker thinks America has now grown up.

Entertainment: Yet another liberal from Oz who thinks that electing Obama is not only grown up, but it makes him want to be an American!

“The morning after your election in November, I said to my wife Rebecca, ‘You know, I’m thinking about becoming an American,’ and then she said that she felt the same way. “I don’t follow sports here,” he said. “But politics has sort of taken its place. I followed the race closely. It’s a tricky area, because I don’t want to be offensive, and I had no party loyalty. But electing Obama was this country being very grown-up. It was such a positive step for the U.S. to become a part of the world again after the last eight years."

Not to be offensive, but we would like new American citizens to have a bit more substance than " oh look the black liberal won and now America is part of the world again, lets be Americans!"

Yet another show I will make a habit of missing due to the verbal diarrhea of its star.
