Obama Shows Up in Antigua Guatemala Again
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
I don’t know how Barak Obama does it, but he shows up everywhere! Obama showed up in La Antigua Guatemala for my birthday. More recently, Obama appeared in billboards inside a video game for the iPhone/iPod Touch (remember I received one as my birthday present from my sisters). Now Obama showed up again in La Antigua Guatemala, right outside of my office; I even got one of those Obama button you see in the picture above. Thanks! you know who you are.
To quote a recent article on Reuters: “Unprecedented in US presidential politics” (or anywhere I may add). I have to tell you that Obama did pull an ace off his sleeve with the campaign advertisement inside the game. All the blogs and twitters in Spanish-speaking world were talking about it. The same for the English-speaking world of blogs and web sites.
I don’t know about the other guy running for president of the U.S.A., but I can tell you the general perception among young and not so young adults is that he looks very old, antiquated, outdated, too much of the same thing; kind of like he belongs the the past century. [UPDATE: And I am not taking about his age.] That’s what I perceive from all the buzz around the web in English and Spanish. What are your perceptions?
