Pave: Never Mind IV Redux
Le jour 438 de Sarko
It is just too much fun.
OP-ED 25 juillet 2008 (Figaro) - Mission accomplie. Barack Obama retourne aux États-Unis en ayant réussi sa sortie dans le vaste monde. Réputé inexpérimenté parce qu'il n'a que trois ans de mandat de sénateur derrière lui, le candidat démocrate a montré qu'il n'avait aucun complexe à avoir sur la scène internationale.[Mission accomplished. Barack Obama heads back to the United States having made a success of his outing in the great big world. Considered inexperienced because he has only three years in the Senate behind him, the democratic candidate showed that he had no hang-ups on the international stage.]

FRENCH GOING WILD FOR SENATOR KERRY
IN ELECTION FEVER
‘A Certain Elegance’ Is Seen
PARIS March 15, 2004 (NYSun) - If November’s presidential election were being held here, there’s no doubt that Mr. Kerry, the Massachusetts senator and Democratic candidate, would win by a landslide. Constance Borde, head of the France chapter of Democrats Abroad:People are going crazy. My phone is ringing from morning to night because everybody wants to know about Kerry. I’m even getting calls from French people asking if they can contribute to the campaign, and of course I have to tell them no.This is something I’ve never seen happening.
October 15, 2004 (Guardian) - Millions of Americans are scratching their heads over how to vote on November 2 after the last of the three televised presidential debates left George Bush and John Kerry neck and neck over jobs, education, health care and taxes, with little mention of Iraq or 9/11. But the rest of the world, according to a poll we and several other newspapers publish today, has already made up its mind, backing the Democratic challenger by a margin of two to one.
October 27, 2004 (Guardian) - The French distaste for the Bush administration is evident in all the polls. A recent survey showed that Kerry would win as much as 82% of the French vote, while George Bush would secure a mere 16%. Around 70% of French people say that their opinion of America has deteriorated over the past three years, 75% of the population say that they have a poor opinion of Bush, and 77% say that they believe the US-led campaign in Iraq was a mistake.
PARIS October 30, 2004 (Times Online) - If it were left to the voters of the world, John Kerry would stroll into the White House, leaving President Bush buried deep in a landslide. With few exceptions, from Europe to Asia, Africa to Latin America, people want an end to probably the most globally unpopular presidency on record.
