Well, shoot. That means he won’t be able to run for president, dual citizenship and all.

Mayor Istvan Tarlos says that Elvis will be commemorated because of his support for Hungary in the wake of the short-lived, anti-Soviet revolution of October 1956Guys, don't belittle this. Consider the message the Hungarians are sending here.

No. You're thinking of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Elvis is pining for the Fjords.

1956-57 was a dark time for Hungary. Elvis understood what the Communists were about and he didn’t mind doing his part as an American.

“Consider the message the Hungarians are sending here.”
I agree with you. It’s a real nice thing that Hungary is doing this.

Better Elvis than Janos Kadar.

Agreed. Elvis, till the end of his life, played it straight politically. He avoided being an “advocate” for one side or another, instead opting to “keep his personal political views to himself” (Madison Square Garden Press Conference, NY, 1972)
This is one of the things about Elvis that I will always admire.
How I wish the so called “stars” of today were following his lead.
There are ways for a celebrity to support his or her own causes without becoming an advocate for the phony “Politically Correct - PC crowd”.

Great many fans, I am sure, see Elvis often sipping coffee in one of the cafes -— just sitting there, listening to Gypsy music or Brahms’ Hungarian Dances...
