Shouts of ‘Ja Kogelo Wa!’ (Man from Kogelo) and ‘Obama Biro, yawne yoo’ (Obama is coming clear the way), rent the air. [...] Mama Sarah said, “I could fall down with excitement at the airport when I will be invited to see him being sworn-in, this dream has come true.”
For those sick of all this celebrating, you can check out how this guy is feeling. Thinly veiled white supremacist? Or just someone who got the Fox News satellite implants? It’s probably worth noting that according to this exit poll, American whites elected McCain. (Way to go artificially-defined-group-of-people-who-have-the-same-skin-color-I-do!)
While my reasons will no doubt be different, it is probably inevitable that my own complaints about Obama will surface soon enough. For the moment though, jokers like that just give me more appreciation of kids like this:
That YouTube guy makes a compelling case. Is it too late for me to reconsider my vote?
I’m with you, Snag. I can’t believe I didn’t know all of that before. Damn liberal media. Should we start a petition for impeachment?
I guess that hope and pride transcends borders. People here in New Zealand were extremely happy to see Obama win. At work pretty much the whole office took the afternoon off to watch the results and Obama’s speech. And there’s an Obama victory party at one of the local pubs today.
In such a cynical world it’s a bit startling to see the influence and importance of the US in other countries. It’s funny to travel in South America and see all the major roads named after JFK or go to a cafe in Greece and see a picture of Dukakis.
There are very high expectations for Obama. He definitely won’t be able to meet them all. But I have faith that he’ll work hard and do his best.
