http://mf.index.hu/player_ng_169.swf?file=/kulfold/obamapestenClick here to view!(link here is to watch the video - same as the hyperlinked one above. You gotta watch the whole video for full effect. We were big news on the Hungarian online portals that night funny enough...) I am the mildly homeless looking woman in the front who looks like she is about to burn Hope cos I am not so good at the multi-tasking with fire. I will also take full credit for the Oh-Bah-mah! chant in the video. This group was a little too somber for my taste. They were all Give Peace a Chance to our Fight the Power! In the end, no one knew the second verse to This Land is Your Land except for me and about three others who clearly spent a lot of time in school chorus. The whole thing was starting to feel a bit like a memorial service instead of a celebration so I sort of tapped my inner West Philly pride and started the Obama! chant which I had hoped would liven things up, but these old hippie ex pats just wouldn't loosen up! Freedom rings, but freedom also has a beat!
Anyhow, this all feels so quaint and distant. So maybe it's good I am only just now posting this. Retro hope!
