Mr Lee Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Why is it that Filipinos seem to be so pro Obama. , There are shirts and hats in just about every store we go to and I see people wearing them all around......... I have been told by many that they think that Obama is going to fix everything and while I do not wish this to get into a political discussion, I am wondering why Filipinos seem to be so enchanted by a man who is not even close to being a Filipino in any way except possible the darker skin.If Filipinos really think White is beautiful, why put Obama on a pedestal?

TheMason Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 The previous US administration, right or wrong, is thought to be the cause of many of the world's current problems. After 8 years of the Bush/Cheney administration, the world was hungry for regime change in the US. Anyone would have been received enthusiastically. Obama's skill as a speaker simply increases the fervor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Why Is It That Filipinos Seem To Be So Pro Obama? The media have a big influence on the masses. Also, people will wear T-shirts without knowing or caring what the message is. For example, a relative was wearing a shirt with the image of Mao Tse Tung (founder of communist China) and they didn't know who it was. Similarly I've seen people wearing Che Guevara shirts and I doubt they know who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
