You're welcome. Cbabi is a very talented artist.

Dave-totally with you on Obama being hot. And he wears beautiful suits, which helps. Oh, and his brain is a turn-on as well. :lol:

J'aime le style de peinture :smile:
J'ai presque fini la mienne, je te la montrerai :smile: C'est un autre style bien sûr !

Comment vas-tu Naomi? :smile:

J'ai un nouveau "poll" sur mon blog : peux-tu le voir et voter ? Merci :smile:

Sinon, un ami me dit que les Américains ne sont jamais allés sur la Lune :eyes: Incroyable non ?!! Ce serait un canular !

Claude-
I've heard the same conspiracy theory that Americans have never been the moon. I think it's related to the fact that one can see the American flag waving on the moon but there is no wind on the moon. Interesting question, but I am still quite certain we were there. p:

Yes, I will take your poll. Did you do a painting of Obama?

Angeliki-Isn't it beautiful? We have some serious talent here in St. Louis.

Obama :lol: No :wink: The house where I was in the mountain, the one without water :wink:

I also don't believe that Apolo weren't on Moon :eyes: But the flag is a good question! :sherlock:

Hello Angeliki :smile:

Dave, you are so BAD!!!!!!!!! Boy, you are gonna get busted one day! :lol:

Mar, glad you liked it. I can't stop looking at it. I even posted it on CultureSurfer, which will probably make a bunch of other artists ask me to post their work but, oh well...

Angeliki, just snatch the pic from here & include it in your post & I'll look at what Espen put up. DYING to see what Claude painted...

Matt, thanks for giving me something else to do, smarty pants. :rolleyes: I'll have to remember to look up your other Missouri artist now.

Angeliki, I couldn't find Espen's post on Obama. Can you post a link?

By CultureSurfer, # 31. October 2008, 12:29:30

My other Missouri artist? I think that, as a resident, you can claim him.

I'm a Vietnamese but i have heard about the competition running to White House between B.Obama and McCain. I hope that B.Obama will win in this election because republican party always make wars. You have known what G.Bush have brought to America: just the wars and economic crises.

it's a nice pictures, anyway.

I agree 100%.

On behalf of Vietnamese Opera community, i congratulate B.Obama on his winning the American election.

I watched Obama's victory speech from Chicago tonight. His ears are adorable. I couldn't take my eyes off of them!

The whole package is pretty adorable!

Thank God we're going to have a brilliant president who at minimum should be able to keep this country from declining any further.

I am so grateful & relieved & have regained faith in the American people for the first time in years.

Text message I just received from a friend of mine from Ghana who lives here in St. Louis & has been an Obama supporter & volunteer:

"Though I have been a citizen for 5 years, I can I can say I am proud to be an African/American. May God bless the USA."

Apparently great minds think alike! I love that drawing. Very cool.

I still can't believe we've done this. I am still in shock (in a positive way). I'm going to try to buy a copy of Newsweek to celebrate.

By CultureSurfer, # 6. November 2008, 14:00:51

I did include this in my post " Barack President-Elect "post ...
It is a great picture!

By ellinidata, # 6. November 2008, 16:52:14

PS
buying the Newsweek is a great idea Naomi!!
as you can see above in my comments"with the things" I celebrate myself too! :yes:

In my country-Vietnam, on this occasion, publishers have introduced a lot of books about B.Obama's life and his winning in American election. He becomes widely popular

This is a hot topics :smile:.Also have a large number of blogs posted topics about the first Africa-America president, not only your blog.

Thanks, Angeliki.

Please read my new post. CultureSurfer is in desperate need of tech help.

@Dave-I'm right with you.I'd be in great shape if each of the CultureSurfer visitors would donate $2-5/year. Just don't know how to convince people to do that.

Sen. Clinton looked pretty gleeful on Fraday's news, but she wasn't saying anything. Obama also met on Friday with Gov. Richardson of New Mexico, and earlier with Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Kerry is lobbying hard for the position. It's hard to pin Clinton down - we have some idea of her aspirations, and no clue if Secretary of State plays into those plans. You can count all of the Secretaries of State who have gone on to be President on one hand, and you can't find one since John Quincy Adams did it as our sixth President. To me that suggests that she might not accept the position.

There are a few Secretaries of State who ran for the presidency, but didn't make it - William Jennings Bryant comes to mind.

You are welcome. It's probably wrong. :lol: I read last night (after I commented) that she was offered the job, and is "thinking about it." I guess we'll find out soon!
