The boy pictured is three week old Obama de Barros, born on 18th March. His father Nelson, a telecoms economist in Bissau, the capital of Portugese speaking Guinea Bissau in West Africa, sends his greetings to all members of The World Wants Obama Coalition and writes: "My son is health and happy. People may ask why I've named him after Senator Obama, as I'm not a US citizen. The reason is that we share the same planet – the Earth. Everything that happens in America has repercussions throughout the world. I sympathize a great deal with the transparent, realistic, and progressive ideas and convictions of Senator Obama. Obama is the Best! That's why I am confident, with Senator Obama in the White House, that the world will become more open and produce more smiling children."
Please let us know if you hear of other children around the world named after Obama.]]> http://www.theworldwantsobama.org/2008/04/baby-in-guinea-bissau-named-after-obama.html/feed/
