My service learning professor helped plan a presidential service learning award, and somehow managed to snag invitations for our class. This meant we got to enter the Casa Rosada through a gate that I've never seen open before, watch the Kristina Kirchner, the president of Argentina hand out the awards, and then take a picture and "saludar," i.e. kiss her on the cheek.
When she figured out we were a large group of Americans, she immediately asked us who we had voted for. When we answered Obama, she pumped her fists and chanted, "Obama, Obama!" It was funny to see a head of state share the same giddiness over the American elections as the vast majority of her citizenry.
