I’ve encountered this phenomenon among my friends who are African immigrants, however, if you show them exactly what Mr. Obama will do to their paychecks, their enthusiasm for him quickly vanishes.
I have a friend from Eritrea but haven’t spoke with her in a few months. I wonder what she thinks. I’m afraid to ask. I’ve already got two American born friends that appear to be Obama supporters. I just don’t want to get into these conversations with friends though because I’m know I’m going to be disappointed in the thinking or lack thereof.
