<![CDATA[Comments on: New Lessons, New President]]> 2008-11-08 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: edward1980]]> 大家好，

我是欧巴马的兄弟。 我现在住在中国，因为我想做生意。 我非常开心因为我的弟弟当选了美国的总统。 今天是我第一天试试看Chinesepod.com, 然后正好听到老师们说我的姓， 所以就觉得很了不起！

Very funny about how your parents aimed for year of the dog.I had heard that it was thought to be good to be born in year of the dragon.But I didn't know that Chinese parents hung out for the year they liked.Too bad if you just missed one and had to wait 11 years.Interesting that they were considering pig also.Would this have been considered extra lucky or had some other special significance given your surname?

Talking of vacations,is it true you are coming to Australia this month as had been suggested by a Poddie in the Australia group a few months ago?

My guess for Chinese food most hated by foreigners would be dog.

Great news about Obama.Land of the free and home of the brave.

Haha, that's a good joke. Incidentally, I hear that his name is "Mark Ndesandjo", but not Edward. He lives in 深圳 (shen1 zhen4) now.

We can all celebrate the arrival of contemplative thought and dialog inside the White House.

Not cowboy actions.
