I received congratulatory messages from friends and colleagues in Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Ireland, and the UK. Clearly, the world has rediscovered its love for America.
Considering the flood of worldwide reaction and bold campaign promises, a lot is expected of Obama. In this spirit, I have wrangled some of the odd responses from around the world and across the country:
- Kenya: More than half of the babies born on 5 November were given the names of either Barack or Michelle
- Kenya: National holiday was declared Thursday
- America: Put a little hope in your car
- Bear shot dead in Obama protest (if Bears really are the #1 threat to America, then this is good news for the Obama presidency)
- Jesse Jackson cries and shuts up at the same time. Any man who can make this happen has to be a great man
- Indonesian girl picks her nose during Obama celebration
- North Korea is hopeful
- Canada admits Obama will be their president too
- Mexico will reach across the border to Obama
- Palin did not know Africa was a continent and believed South Africa was a sovereign state within the country of Africa
- Russian President Medvedev wants war
- First Dog, Barney, bites report Reuters reporter after being told he was moving to Crawford, Texas in a few months.
- Kobe Bryant’s holy shit 25-point game (thanks Andy)
- American Idol inspires real voting
Your Words Sam Cooke:
"There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will"
'A Change is Gonna Come' 1963
