ME The United States. America. LOCAL Obama! We like Obama. ME Yes, I like him too. [pause] LOCAL Did you vote for Obama? ME Yes. LOCAL Good. Good. Bush will be gone in [exact number of days until inauguration] Suffice to say, people the world over are excited about this. I just got to Egypt and the amount of hope and expectation placed on Obama is more extreme than what's going on in the States.
