There is a big reason why Obama is popular overseas (and I lived on three continents so I stay informed). Obama gives people from across the world hope. Hope of an America they can be proud of again. we have always loved America and what it stands for. And the majority of us united behind America after 9/11 – I know as I was in 3 continents in the few months after. But since then America has divided the world more than at any time. And we want to be with an America we can be proud of. And Obama offers us that hope. I know it is not about us this election – it is about the American voters. But I just gave you the reason why we look at him with interest. I go into more detail in my blog at http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/03/03/obama-dont-ever-forget-the-burden-of-hope/
