I remember talking to my French friend a few months back. She was curious who I wanted to be our next President: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

I told her neither. That I was for Mitt Romney.

She went silent for a minute and then commented about how she didn’t even know he was in the race. This was in the most heated moments of the campaign. Just before Iowa.

I think that’s very telling about the media Europeans are fed. This particular girl is generally fairly well informed. But you could tell where the media focus was.

I was reading a British site last evening and it was buzzing with US election updates. (Actually, I was blown away by how much attention they pay to US politics.) The entire premise of the thread was how excited they are getting about the election and Obama’s presidency. One poster said that they, “want so much to have a reason to like America again.” An American on the site wrote that he thought it was too late for that, and that the damage was already done. I agreed with the American.
