So I was walking into the English room at my new middle School and there was a Newspaper with Obama's picture on the cover (it was a kid�s paper given out to many Middle Schools across the country). It showed him being really interested in Korean culture and an overall good guy (he was embracing Taekwondo on the cover, and the articles about him in the newspaper were very positive as well). I tried to ignore it but it just kept blaring out at me every day.
Finally, I asked my Co-teacher what he thought of Obama, he said "Obama sounds like a great president, I heard most Americans like him". I politely informed many Americans do not like him, and some of the reasons why. He then seemed to be less enthusiastic about Obama, and he allowed me to get rid of the newspaper.
It seems like the media and many of the schools here are very supportive of Obama. What has your experience been with this issue? |
