Comments on Letter from Paris

On pourrait tuer des bebes phoques.

I'm not sure if all these testimonials about how much people in France, Saudi Arabia and Canada (not to mention Homoland) support Obama are going to change the minds of Red America, but they're heartwarming nevertheless.

"generally pessimistic students seemed to feel like new possibilities now existed for their own lives."

immigrants and french people of color in france's suburbs (ghettoes) are screwed and completely locked out of the political process, the french are becoming even more anti immigrant, anti arab and anti french africans. despite all the critisism the mainstream french have of the US and despite their claim that they are progressive. their institutions are extremely racist.

minority participation in goverment in the US is light years ahead of the french whose parliament, regional goverments, judicial and executive branch is for the most part exclusively white.

the french are and have always been full of shit! france will never have a barrack obama, hell they dont even have black mayors or governors for that matter.
