I suspect that there is only one group of people just a smidgen less ecstatic about President Obama’s re-election than we Americans and that would be the people of Sierra Leone! I am in Bo today and was bargaining for a portable radio so I can listen to BBC all the time when the young man waiting on me baited me by asking if I had voted for president.
I excitedly told him, “I voted for Obama in late September! In Freetown. Before I came here to the south!”
He said, “But, he’s black!”
To which I replied, “Why should I care? He’s the greatest American alive today!” Then I began to cry for happiness! He gave me a huge hug and a 10,000 Leone discount!
Way to go America!
