RANGOON, BURMA Just two years ago, the notion that Burmese school children waving American flags would be lining Rangoon's main thoroughfare to welcome a sitting United States president would have been, simply, unthinkable. But when Barack Obama touched down here late Monday morning, that's just what he saw. Reporters traveling with the president were told the children practiced their waves earlier this week -- and their words of welcome were read from discretely-sized index cards. But rehearsed or not, their enthusiasm was the display of a government whose slow embrace of reform has now earned an in-the-flesh stamp of approval from Mr. Obama. A few members of the press were permitted to cover the president's visit with Nobel Prize winner, Congressional Gold Medal of Honor winner, and Burmese Parliament member Aung San Suu Kyi at her lakeside home in Rangoon.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
