the us presidential hype

obama's victory in the nov 4 us elections got a lot of people really hopeful and happy. the americans are really ecstatic about it but im just a bit surprised that a lot of pinoys also look really hmm...involved?

nagtataka tuloy ako, ganito ba talaga kadami ang pinoy na politically conscious? o pinoy blood na us citizen? o sadyang masyado lang madaming pinoy na feeling amerikano?

i just find it a bit weird to see people wearing obama shirts or actively blogging about their support for obama. yes we live in a politically interrelated world and given the political (and economic) relationship of the us and the philippines, its nice to know that pinoys have their own opinions on who should lead the united states but seeing them react like theyre real americans (unless theyre citizens) just make me smile and frown at the same time.
