Yes we can!

I..m not a political guy. I think there is so much unknow in politics that it is almost silly to think you really know a topic. On the other hand I have a deep admiration for people who feel strongly about something and do something about it. Being in Argentina has really given me an idea of how American politics affect the world. I..m not talking about the direct political actions of our country - I still don..t beleive that one person can have a complete understanding of that topic. I..m refering to how American political affect the people in other countries. Here in Argentina the first thing that comes out of someome after I tell them I..m from the U.S. they ask about Obama. And they like him. For the first time in a long time I feel proud to talk about our presedent. People here seem hopeful just as I do. You can tell by talking to them that they think Obama will have an indirect affect on there personal lives. I hope Obama lives up to the hype. Not just for us but also for ¨people listening to the raido in forgotten corners of the world¨ as he put it.
