Out Of The Mouths Of.....Tourists

Late yesterday afternoon I received a call from the boss to jump into the car and drive to Orlando to pick up a fellow who was coming into meet with Orrin from Singapore. I was assured he knew English and told his name, what flight he arrived on, and what time he was expected, with this vague assignment I set off to the airport. On the two hour drive up, I wondered what we might have in common, and looked forward to this great new opportunity to broaden my cultural horizons. Making a long story short, Rykle was easy to find, in fact he stuck out like a sore thumb, he was involved in a conversation with a couple as he exited his plane like any good distributor would be. He was sharing his exciting business opportunity with people he'd just met on the flight, imagine that!

Well we stumbled through the introductions, and I heard him tell the couple I must be from the Air Force as I had introduced myself as Captain Bill, I quickly corrected that and learned that his country was military oriented so he naturally assumed he was being greeted by a government official. So we loaded his gear into the truck and set off for the estate. It was kind of stereo-typical as he broke out the video camera and began to film and narrate a video to share with friends back home. He was taken aback by everything, the size and quantities of the cars, the gigantic parking facility, and not surprisingly the price of gasoline. He was in awe and curious about everything, but what amazed me was one of the first things out of his mouth, and a long topic of our discussion home, was why was President Obama trying to ruin our country?

Here is a stranger from another country, a socialist one at that, a person I've never met before asking out of the blue, the question that plagues most of us. Is this the world view of our president? As you can imagine that question hit my "on" button and we had quite a give and take all the way home. I left the car with a whole new perception of how the world interprets our leader. Now take this into consideration, the news he gets in Singapore is filtered by the government, and flavored toward the socialist point of view. Yet he and his friends seek information of the Internet, and sniff out the truth. Truth be told, he was less misinformed than a lot of the citizens of this nation.

Lesson....You can spread your propaganda worldwide, but people will find the truth and you'll be exposed for the poser you are!

God Bless!
Captain Bill
