Thank you, you American friends! I think 3 or 4 billions of people are proud of you today.
Of course we know Barack Obama will first defend US interests, which is quite normal, but at least we can hope he'll do that with the rest of the world, not against it.

There's great rejoicing in France (more than 80% of people were pro-Obama); and our own minorities see that as a model that could– and should –be followed here. None of them ever went farther than being a minister (very few), and there's almost none in Parliament, even among left wing.
