Last one. It was certainly refreshing to see the level of interest in our elections among both the French and the English. Particularly during the week that Obama wrapped up the nomination, the impression I got both from the media coverage and from people I talked to reflected a very genuine enthusiasm about this candidate's capability to be a real transformational leader... so different from the tabloid games being played up by the American media.
At least we're paying more attention to our own elections this time around. But our general ignorance to the world outside our borders is as inexcusable as it is unreciprocated. They seem to care far more about our politics than we care about theirs. How many Americans could even name the President of France? Or the British Prime Minister?
