Especially if he showed up among a group of evangelicals. It reminds me of a true story from back in the Soviet era when the head of the Moscow metro visited the London metro and the head guy in London told him, proudly, that the trains run 24 hours with the workers in three 8-hour shifts. The Moscow guy proudly responded that the trains in Moscow run 24 hours but the workers have two 12-hour shifts, to which London guy replied, "You're not gonna get this lot to agree to that. They're a bunch of communists."
