[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you serious OP?  what a dumb question.  If Obama died I would not expect anyone to pass condolences to me....this is just a weird question.

Its not like you were related to him.

I think your friend would find this odd and strange, almost uncomfortable.[/quote]

PP, I think you're the strange one.  It's hard to think of a contemporary political figure on par with Nelson Mandela.

And yeah, if President Obama died, I would appreciate any non-American friends expressing their sorrow for our loss.  I happen to love Obama and share his politics, but I would view it as a kindness for the same kind of expression if the president were George W. Bush.[/quote]

No, you're odd my fellow DCUMer along with being high maintenance and self-centered.  No one reached out to me when the Pope died or when Regan died, both GREAT men of courage. their actions certainly did have a tremendously positive global effect...still felt today mind you.  Frankly, I would be so weird-ed out if someone did call me after their deaths.  This is NOT taking away from the great man that Mandela was, but that does not mean that YOU a total stranger should expect anyone to send you a condolence for something like this. Gosh this is on another planet to me.  [/quote]

hmmm still a little different movie star... Robben Island vs Bedtime for Bonzo[/quote]
