2008 Letter from Amsterdam
posted by on November 3 at 16:23 PM
The entire city is high on Oba-mania, and even though all of the big ticket events go till the morning (due to the time difference) - that didn’t stop them from being sold out. Even small pubs are breaking out their TVs as if the World Cup was on.One argument against Obama - that he was “just talk” - never caught on over here. Firstly, because they know that a skinny black dude with a funny name winning a US Presidential election will be an accomplishment of historic and unparalleled action. And secondly, because Europeans understand that the moment he steps into office, before any words are spoken at all, foreign relations worldwide will change for the better.

I like how Idiot America Jesusland elected Bobby Jindal, and meanwhile, the Dutch cabinet is whiter than a Stranger staff meeting.
the entire city is high, but it ain't (just) Obamania.
i was feeling election anxiety before. and i knew how other nations felt about obama (i was living in london when he got the nomination). but something about this letter made plead a very vocal prayer that obama wins tomorrow. i have voted and campaigned and donated. is praying/begging all that is left to do?
3 - that plus rolling up a fat one should do the trick.
will the above mentioned Gov of Louisiana run for pres. in 2012 as the R.....???
He is a total winner, maybe smarter than Obama
Jindal is legit.
Please, Spirit, let history show that we did the right thing, and joined with the rest of the world. Grace.
