Obama Reggae

von Ändy

Obwohl ich ja sonst spärlichen Posts mit nur Youtube-Video sehr kritisch gegenüber stehe, kann ich es nicht lassen das Gleiche zu tun, aber zumindest um einige Zeilen angereichert zur beruhigung meines Gewissens. Die Freude über die Gesamtsituation überstrahlt die Bedenken. Hoffentlich hält die Freude durch nen Sieg Obamas an. Ist dies der Fall, sollte man sich eigentlich eine amerikanische Fahne an den tragbaren Kassettenrecorder, auf dem dieser Song in Endlosschleife spielt, hängen. Eine spannende Wahlnacht wünsch ich mit diesem Kenianer.

Why why why why why why oyyy why whyyyy not

Well, this is not about class,
