Ce face Obama? (What is Obama doing?)
Every day Vasile would ask me this, all last year.
I would reply: Face bine (He's doing well), E obosit (He's tired), Are nerv (he's angry), danseze (He's dancing), etc...
During the campaign, before, after, night and day, he'd always ask about how Mr. Obama was doing.
SO, while I was visiting the PC office, I saw this "almost bobble-head" Obama on a shelf, and I exclaimed! It would be hilarious if I gave this to Vasile. Obama doesn't know it! But Vasile is his biggest fan.
Vasile btw, is the Mayor's secretary's husband. He's duty is to be a chauffeur to the mayor. And he raises rabbits. Big white and brown ones. Bunnies sell for $5 for a baby and $20 for a big bunny at the market now.
Anyway, I presented Vasile with Obama, I made introductions, and I took their picture together.
Now I get to ask Vasile "Ce face Obama?" every day now.
His responses go like "Are manele sus, asa" (He's dancing with his arms raised like this), "Face plaja in masina si e alb" (He's tanning himself in the car and loosing his tan), and now Obama is Spring cleaning at his house this weekend.
The people love him here, and it's not cause I'm talking about him all the time. They tell ME what's going on with him.
