The American elections.

Hi!
The seniors of TES1 want to share with you this event and tell you a few words:

"We are three students of 17 or 18 from France studying in Jean Jaurès in the city named Montreuil. We are French but we have different origins (Senegalese, Morrocan and Tunisian). We support Barack Obama because he wants to make good reforms which will help people in need. He gives a hope for poor men. He would like to create a health insurance which is a bit like ours. Moreover he comes from the middle class which means that he had to fight to be where he is now. we admire his rise. We can also say that he wants to unify people by trying to find another solution than the former president or the candidate McCain."
from Olfa, Molo and Myriam.

"Hi to everybody!
I'm Allyson, a young Parisian High School girl who is French with let us say remote Spanish origins.
Here the American presidential elections in the United States are present in most of the news on al the networks. With regards to these elections, a large majority of French people show an incredible passion. Some acts in the campaign and suport seem excessive. The French presidential elections are less of a show.Such as the voting intention of the stars which carefully remain private. In short, I think it would be a good hope if an Afro-American could become president in a country such as the United States."
from Allyson.

"Hi!
I'm Vanessa. I come from France, more precisely Paris?. Futhermore I'm from the West Indis and I woul like Barack Obama to become the next president of the United States because he's more open-minded than McCain and more ambitious with his program. Maybe we will see a new America,a stronger one with less poverty and more solidarity. For me Barack Obama is the ideal candidate!"
From Vanessa.

"In France we think that the United States dominate international politics because in the fields of politics, economics and military they play a big role.
There are two candidates Mc Cain and Obama. We are two students who support the left wing parties in France , so we support Obama. We support him because he would favour intervionist policies and he would want more equality. he is less conservative than McCain. As a symbol if Obama becomes president, this will show an evolution in mentalities."
from Alexis and Simon.

"We think the American elections are very important because America goes through a major economic crisis. We think Barack Obama is the best to change and save America. Barack Obama represent a new hope and the new generation. He can understand the problems and the real america. he is young and new, he is the best candidate. We do support him as French students."
from Benjamin and Divin.

"For us Barack Obama is our favourite candidate because his program could change many things in the United States and in the rest of the world. Natably, racial discrimination which still exists. He wishes to create a plan to stop the war in Iraq. He also wants to help the poorest families. And finally he wants to increase the minimum wage of the Americans. That's why we support him and would like him to become the President of the Unted States.
Being native from the African continent, our choice goes more to the Democrats who for us wouls solve several problems in our society."
from Tihinan and Himmène.

"We are two students from France and we are interested in American politics. In our point of view, The French are more interested in Obama's political answers to the different issues.We think the social policies Obama would favor will bring more equality because he wants to help poor people and people in need.
his political position about Iraq and against this war is good.He has a better position on immigration. He wants to regulate it and speak with Mexico to curb it."
from Angèle and Marion.
