1. His nomination fairly rocked the planet. |
|
I only wish his moment wasn't stolen here in the U.S. by you-know-who.

2. It does show the best side of America (usually the Democratic side, as opposed |
|
to the republican side). I hope & pray for Obama's safety and success.

Nice to see how they view the race from other countries, I was in Ireland around NH time so I got a small taste of it while I was there. One thing I noticed was that columnists there get right to the point.

4. I've had many people in my German school ask me for Obama T-shirts |
|
I might have to make room in my suitcase for a dozen or so. :hi:

5. Some folks are not able to see this impact... |
|
Or the significance of an Obama presidency and the possible influence for good around the world. The live in their own small bubbles and don't give a crap about the rest of the world and don't think much about it.

8. I just back from Kenya and I went to a night club in Nairobi where |
|
they were selling Obama T-shirts and buttons. Everyone knows where his grandmother lives.

14. My mom's in Finland right now, going to Norway next. |
|
Just got an email. The dollar is so weak she's traveling like a college student--backpacking, hostels--and she felt bad she couldn't get me a pricy present.
I just told her all I wanted was newspapers with Obama-related front pages. She's a big fan so she'll be buying them anyway. :hi:
