I'm not surprised. Are they inspired by a President named Hussein with a Muslim father?

Actually they were jumping up and down with joy when Obama got elected. In fact a couple calls came in to us the next day after he was elected. If you traveled around Europe the last few years and just brought up a conversation it became pretty obvious most of them didn't want another Republican administration. In all the many years that I have traveled there I've never seen a reaction quite like that.

Absolutely, yes. You may have forgotten, but people love the Dream of America...that anyone from any background can make it to the top. Obama is tangible proof that the dream is still alive and well in this country.

You can deny it, but it is a fact. He inspires people, especially people outside this country who are disappointed with their own countries.
