Maybe $40? $60? Less than $100, I'm sure of that! I'm also sure that it increased in value the moment Obama was elected, though, so I have no idea what a fair price on eBay would be now. Good luck! It's a beautiful poster -- rich inks, very heavy paper. Sarah, I don’t remember! Maybe $40? $60? Less than $100, I’m sure of that!

Good luck! It’s a beautiful poster — rich inks, very heavy paper.

I am looking into buying the Obama Poster off ebay as a birthday gift for my husband, but am curious how much it originally cost. Would you mind letting me know? Thanks! Sarah Hi Anna,

I recently discovered your blog and I adore it. I am looking into buying the Obama Poster off ebay as a birthday gift for my husband, but am curious how much it originally cost. Would you mind letting me know?

And I hope you are right that this "smooth talker" can follow and accomplish as well as those president.

As you say so eruditely, the U.S. choice of president impacts all around the world in so many ways. You guys have a big responsibility as does every nation to care and understand what its leaders represent. GO OBAMA! FYI: Yesterday one of our TV stations was reporting "Obama expected to win U.S. presidency" on all news break headlines. Was strange "news" in a crystal ball, but hopefully correct!!!!

Our world is much, much too integrally connected today to ignore what the rest of the world thinks, and commands. I voted almost a week ago (SO glad we have early voting here in N.C.) and will be up late watching, bottle of chilled Proseco at the ready. Gobama!!!

I realize that some Americans don't care much for the political opinions of non-Americans, but I'm glad you do. As someone already pointed out: everyone is connected. American policies effect the ENTIRE WORLD. That's why people care about the outcome, regardless of which country they're a citizen of! Thank you, Anna, for your eloquent response.

I think the world is such a small and integrated place now that we can't afford not to be interested in what other countries are doing politically - and of course, economically (as we've all seen recently). Today is a very important day in history and it's pretty amazing that we will be able to tell our children that we got to watch it all unfold.

We have the system we have, though, and this country is in a horrible state in a number of ways right now. I voted for Nader in 2000 because I truly believe in what he stands for, and I did it not thinking that he would win, but that he could gain enough votes to receive federal funding for the Green Party in the next election. I live in New York state, so there was absolutely no risk that my vote for Nader would put Bush at an advantage. This country—and the world—have changed dramatically since 2000, though, and I think it's very important that I stand up and make very clear who I want to WIN this election. Let's be realistic: It's either going to be Obama or McCain, and I think a McCain presidency would be a horrible, dangerous thing for this country (not to mention what could result from Palin holding a national office). For me, there is no option to even consider voting for anyone <i>but</i> Obama. For the record, I <i>do</i> care what people from other countries think, and I believe that <i>not</i> caring puts us as nation (as well as the rest of the world) in serious danger. Hasn't that kind of isolationist attitude gotten us in enough trouble already? I also don't think ANYONE is truly "qualified" to be president unless they have already held the office. A person who has spent a long career in government representing standpoints that are completely at odds with what this country needs is no more "ready" to lead the US than someone who has demonstrated, solidly, that they understand how to unite, lead, and take us in the right direction going forward. (I hear a lot of griping about how Obama is "smooth talker", but don't underestimate the value of a good speaker. Look at Roosevelt or Kennedy or Clinton, and what they accomplished with words—and what a horrible effect GWB's poor speaking ability has had on the entire world!) I call foul on anyone who claims that the ability to lead is determined by age. I chose a candidate to support based on my own personal ethics; my feelings about the future of the US economically, socially, and environmentally. Additionally (and this may seem like a fine detail to some), I think an African-American president will be a wonderful thing for this country socially, and I don't think we need to diminish that fact. p.s. Everyone: <b>GO, GO, GO OBAMA!</b> I am truly touched by all of these comments, particularly from those of you who live in other countries. It means SO MUCH to know that you're here with us Americans in spirit. We appreciate it more than you can imagine.
