Obama Hotel Loves Barack Obama

Should Barack Obama be elected president, one of the first place he should visit overseas is Hotel Sekumiya in the Japanese town of Obama.

ABC News reports the people in Obama are crazy for Obama, the senator.:

Obama's name graces posters hung in the main hotel. Headbands and T-shirts with drawings of the candidate's face will be available soon. Local confectioners are designing Japanese-style sweet bean cakes with Obama's portrait on them.

But their obsession has nothing to do with politics. They just like his name!

And the town is hoping that Obama will be elected president to elevate their town's tourism. (Obama means "Little Beach" in Japan) One woman said:

"If he becomes popular, I'm hoping this whole region will get recognition."

Could there be a Hotel Obama in the future?
