Pave: A Study In Contrasts V

Le jour 550 de Sarko

A common print practice, French periodical L'Express prepared two covers in advance of the American presidential election outcome.

Here is the cover L'Express published after Mr. Obama won the election.

The cover reads:

Barack Obama
President of the United States
The man who can change the world

Gaa-gaa, simple messianism.

Here is the cover L'Express prepared had Mr. McCain won.

The cover reads:

McCain-Palin
The couple who fearmonger
● Their conservatism ● Their defects ● Their militarism

Standard "dark America" simplisme.
