Richard,
I appreciate your passion and understand the motives, but please
explain the reason that this advert would be stupid?
Here's my opinion.
I think that this ad thing "might" not be such a good idea... I can see
all sorts of commercial issues being raised such as "So why does Obama
not use the 'Good'ole American' company's software then?"
It's a bit like him not driving [being driven in] an American made car.
I doubt very much that you would get any support from the commercial
sponsors of OOo. Of course I could be wrong, but I'd assume it would
need explicit support from Obama himself and I guess he might have more
important things to think about right now...
BTW - I am from the UK, just for the record.
Alan

Again I think many people get carry away and focus too much on Obama. The
question is not what people think, the question is how many people think
about it.
Just for the record, Sun/Novell are american companies. :-)
