Gondoliers for Obama

It is no secret that I am a big Obama supporter. One of the biggest reasons is the sheer 180 degree turn he would probably make in the image of the US abroad. I think few Americans realize how bizarre and scary we have looked to many in the rest of the world. So a lot of people abroad are very excited about Obama who seems to promise a whole different kind of America, that might be a lot easier to live with and deal with.

Factoid: several Brazilians running for local office are so excited about Obama, and he has such wide and positive name recognition, that they are running for office under his name.

Cheesy but intriguing video: Here is a YouTube video of Venetian gondoliers singing for Obama.
