Change, Exported

I'm in Panama (the country with the canal, not the city with the Spring Break parties) seeing some family. Driving down the Pan-American Highway, a road that links Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the far south of South America, I see a sign for a Panamanian presidential candidate with the slogan, "El Cambio en que puedes confiar." Translated: The Change You Can Believe In.

I guess this means President-elect Obama is already shaping foreign elections...

Panama!!! That's my home country! Enjoy!!

As to that campaign slogan, it's more like "trust in." Panamanian politicians have it tough being trusted by the populace. Ask your cab driver--the resident experts on the body politic--about it.

Warm regards from a Panamanian in Texas,
