Obama town's crazy dance moves

Obama's going to be the new president of the United States, and whole world is super psyched!

Emily did some research for us and found this awesome video of the Obama dance. She also dug up the following deets:

Their "Obama for Obama" support group are ingenious in a typical Japanese fashion; creating Obama manju, Obama chopsticks, Obama kimonos, and even Obama fish burgers. Some of their committee members are hoping to fly to Washington to attend his inauguration. They're hoping that the Obama hula girls will be asked on stage to perform—unlikely, but hey, anything can happen.

Just when I thought I got away from all the election stuff, my first day back in Japan and an ex-pat friend sends me a link to that Obama song/group. "Obama Is Beautiful World" is the title.
