Apparently my 5 year old niece is an Obama-maniac. Where she got her political persuasions I have no idea..but find out more on her blog. Personally I didn't vote this time around (yes... I know that is soooo bad!)Unfortunately I didn't make it in time to register myself at the US embassy here in Slovakia. And of course many of my Slovak friends and coworkers ask my about "my" new president. Regardless of what your persuasions are, one fact is clear - the world loves Obama. Is it hype? the real thing? or something more prophetically sinister? (as half of my junkmail suggests) Time will tell.
One thing I do like about Obama is that generally he is a good speaker, which gives me much in the way of material for my English classes on speech making. We just finished reviewing Obama's inauguration speech. The great thing about most of Obama's speeches is that you can usually find at least one great line in it that you are sold on. Mine was - "...people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
