Mpj031426900001My international contacts are giving me a lot of feedback regarding Sarah Palin, the banking crisis, and various other headlines.  This all makes me wonder about our reception in other countries when they find out we are from the United States. 

Sure, I've gotten flak from people before when traveling, but not heavy flak, and mostly out of concern for our shared future on the planet than anything else.  But in all honesty, most of my travel before has been with other tourists in major places with plenty of English-speaking people.  I wouldn't say either one of us has had the "immersion" experience.

I'm not sure what to expect, especially if Obama does not win the presidential election.
