Salut mes amis!!
J'espère que vous êtes bien. Nous avons beaucoup de travail ici, parce que c'est la dernière année à l'école secondaire et tout le monde est en train d'appliquer aux universités. C'est difficile. Je ne sais pas si tous les autres étudiants dans ma classe sont fini, mais j'ai beaucoup de travail encore. :( Mon équipe de foot à Wilson a gagné les championnats de ville le samedi dernier! C'était très passionnant!! L'équipe de foot des garçons a gagné aussi. Wilson est le meilleur. :) Maintenant, je suis au Nantucket (au Masschusetts) pour Thanksgiving avec ma famille. Ma tante et mon oncle et tous mes cousins vont venir ce soir pour jeudi. Ça va être très amusant. J'espère que tout le monde est bien et l'école n'est pas trop difficile pour vous. Je ne peux pas attendre pour vous voir au printemps!! À bientôt!

Obama's Victory
The November 4, at 5.00 am in France, we heard about the Obama's Victory as President of the US, a good new waited for so long. We've seen people crying, jumping, sreaming, becoming crazy. At this moment, we felt a great joy and shared their hope because of all the changements that he wants to bring. We would love to be with them in live and not behind TV. It was a moment full of emotions who made us dream. People seemed so touched and excited, it was like if he will change the world in a wonderfull place. But we think that people could be less excited, because even if his program seems good and will probably change the life of a lot of american, he didn't do it yet. We like the fact that his program is based on social reforms like change the social system in order to be more performing and protective, to make easier to the poors to go to college, to put the minimum wage up, and fight against the poverty. He embody hope for the middle class & the lower class, and the american dream because of his origins.
We loved his investiture speech, he is very charismatic and all the thanks that he gave were beautiful and heartfelt. Everybody was attracted by what he said and by his famous "YES WE CAN!" He seems to realize that peaople are expecting a lot of him and we hope that he will do everything that he promised. Because people are very exciting by his victory but now he has to make his projects a reality. The fact that he is a african american shows that the mentalities change and is a good hope for the egality of races. He is a new symbol as was Posa Park or Martin Luther King and we hope that he will impress America just like they did.
Emine & Cora.
(We miss you guys SO much)
PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD
First we think that it is a very good event because Obama is a "new" character on the stage of the politic without much experience. The people chose him , put their trust in him.
Secondly his program is different compared to the adminitration of the former president Bush.
Through Obama's program we find the ideas of Martin Luther King like helping minorities.... Besides his election reflects a not racist America which concentrates more on its politics than its color. So it could influence others countries to concentrate on the politics of the candidate and not for the aparence.
Moreover this victory confirms the slogan among others of America the "American Dream".
The day of its election we were very happy for him but also for America because the wonderfull projects he has will be concretized but it could also change the fact of removing the American army in Irak. But also with regard to the economy.
Knowing that this election crosses by far the frontieres of America because many countries of the world were concerned and had placed an enorme hope on this candidate there is a real reassurance.
To conclude we have were very delighted with the choice of the american and we believe in the famous slogan of Obama "yes we can" "yes we did"

BARACK OBAMA PRESIDENT OF THE USA
Since Barack Obama ran for president we wer very hopeful . In spite of his lack of experience in the politics, he embodies the work, the ambition and courage. Throughout his election he was supported by several celebrities among which: Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria Parker, Georges Clooney... When he won several presidents called up him to congratulate him.
He gives envy to the black people to succed. We think that he realized one of the biggest dream of Martin Luther King. He is the forty-fourth president of the USA and the first black president. Which shows that nothing is impossible.
We think that he will be a good president and that he will make something against this economic crisis. In his speech of nomination, he expressed some projects that he will execute in the next years. He is going to stop the war in Iraq because it is a war without interest. He looks for only the peace. He wants to help the poor men, and to prevent the eviction of the persons without financial resources. He is going to set up a health insurance which will be free for the children. Projects which shall put of time but which shall realize. As he says: "YES WE CAN".
During his mandate, he will see to it that the United States is a suitable state where all the world on its place Barack Obama is not that the president of the blacks: he is the president of a nation.
Thanks to him a page turned.

Helloooo Americaaaa!!!!!
First of all,I'de like to congratulate you for your wonderful new president,if you wanna exchange with ours,no problem,even though ours is less good looking and has the IQ of a dying fly.
I think that this election are going to be a very important moment for future history,because out of the three candidates to presidency,one was a woman and the other was black. I wonder if you'll have a latino,jewish and handicapped candidate in four years,but I guess from now on everything is possible.
It is amazing that Obama won this election,not only because he is black,but because he has modern ideas that differ a lot from the traditional conservative patriotic program that McCain proposed.
Personnally,I adore Obama because of his ideas about abortion,gay rights,war and about every thing he says,actually...I support him since the beginning,and it was rather frustrating not to be able to help him in any way,being french and underage.
To tell the truth,I was frightened for him when he ended up facing McCain,because the image we had from America was that there was a majority of conservative and patriotic people ; McCain had good arguments ,I admit,even though I'de rather eat broken glass than have dinner with him.So everything about this election could have been in disfavour for Obama,but ironically enough,Bush kinda helped him; in fact,if W hadn't left such a huge mess at the White House,in Iraq,and God knows where else,McCain could have won; but McCain sounded a lot like what the american people had already endured,and Obama and his new ideas were welcomed like an ice cream on a hot summer day. He also obviously got the support of coulored people,who are a huge part of the USA 's population,and coloured and even white people around the world supported him too.
I think Obama is a mix between Martin Luther King and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and God forbid him to finish the same way.
Now the bad things that could happen to him as a president are unfortunately real,since as a black president he could get killed by racists, since there has already been an attempt,and I hope he'll manage keeping his promises ,because they sound so great you cant't help but believe in them.
Long live the president,and long live Obama's America!!

We are Carine and Mehdi and We approve of this Message !
Obama's victory
We are very happy about Obama's victory. We think he can change the vision of America and make forget Bush's presidency. We approve of his new ideas in his program like for the health care or his position about the war in Irak and abortion for example.
During the primaries, nobody would have believe a black man could become the new president of the USA. It is a great moment in the history of America because Barack Obama is the first black president of this country.
In France a major part of the population is happy for Obama's victory, encourage him and wished him good luck.
His speech
We were moved by his speech. We saw that he was tired of the presidency race but he found the right words to speak. And like he said during his speech, " everything is possible" . He chose the right people to thank, his campaign team and, especially, the americans who had vote to make this possible. We saw that the crowd was moved and the african Americans were the most proud by this victory because for the first time they see that their situations can really be better in a near future.
He has spoken about an old woman named Ann Nixon Cooper who is 106 years old and went vote for him. It minds a lot for him because he told that this woman was born after the end of slavery and she went through the edges, like the world wars, the segregation and now the election of a black president. So we think that he chose good examples because, moreover this story, he has spoken about Lincoln and Martin Luther King...
In the crowd, we saw famous african americans people like Opprah Winfrey or Jessy Jackson, who were moved about Obama's victory and said that Martin Luther King were proud of this moment.
To finish, we hope that Barack Obama will respect his engagements that he told during his campaign.

Barack Obama's victory
Two days ago,Barack Obama the second was elected by the majority of American,became the fortyfourth president of United States of America and the first president African American,a very important piece of news to us.
However for us,and for respect him,we think and we want that this result and victory are for this program and ideas,and not because of his origines (the best victory).
He must be good at his job.and for us,for be honest,it's the case:he has a good program,he looks calm not nervous,he is very sure of his ideas,he is young,with a clear mind.
We can see trust and determination in his eyes.
But we are afraid for him because someone can kill him because he don't want a black president to the White House,it's pessimist,but it's very probably!
Howeve, for us B.Obama is a bright man,he knows the many risks.
After 8 years of the Bush administration ,who created many problems in the USA(financial crisis)and in the world(Iraq),the USA reputation was,and is actually very damage.
The election of Barack Obama. in the White House for 4 years is quick for USA,to win respect,and with Obama like president,it's possible.But there is many problems in this country and in the world,it's very heavy,almost impossible,but if he wins the challenge,the reputation of his community (African American) can explose.

Our opinion on Obama's victory
We were very happy to know that Obama was elected president for a few reasons
First of all, it has been a long time since the USA had a Democrat, and his program and ideas are modern and tolerant.
He's respectful about the right to abort, he wants to stop the Iraq war and he also respects gay rights.
At the beginning of the elections, we were afraid that the fact he is coloured could be a handicap, but his program and charisma were so convincing that the questions of his colour wasn't problem for the electors.
Personnally, we didn't think We had live long enough to see an afro-american president, and it's a wonderful symbol for colored people who suffered of descrimination.
Nevertheless, we wonder how he will fix the big mess Bush left behind, and the fact he arrived as president in the middle of an economic crissis gives him an enormous amount of work.We hope he will succed in keeping his promises because they sound so perfect that if he does, it would be certain people's dream come true.
To finish all we have to say is we are very glad and proud of american electors's vote.

Barack Obama: a president for everybody !!!
When we knew that Barack Obama was elected we were very happy. He appeared for the first time after having gained the presidency in the state where he is a senator i.e in Chicago (Illinois). Sophia and me would have liked to be there and share with American this joy "of being able to change the United States".
The speech was very sincere he started to gratulate all the people who supported him during these months.
Voluntary people for the campaign, and people who waited hours in order to vote for him. All these people who always were with him such as his family and his partner Joe Biden and also much people who voted and their vote made the difference with Mc Cain.
Then in the second time he evokes all that awaits him during four years mandate as being president of a big country. In this passage of speech he seems very realistic that difficulties which awaits him.Even if sometimes the difficulties will be hard has to surmount. But in spite of that he seems trustful.
Finally in a last time he evoked Black's cause thanks to a woman who inspires much to him Ann Nixon Cooper who is 106 years old.
The fact that he takes in example in his speech this old woman who lived racism in the Sixties, the black population which voted in mass for him this year.
Besides he also shows that the United States changed since most of the "white" population elected him very largely as their president.
We think that Barack Obama has been elected by several categories of people.
On the one hand by the people who just elected him for his skin color, on the other hand by the people who whishes a changement in their country in particular for the insurance, healthcare.
It is true that he is the first black president elected in the United States who makes proud for the black population but we think that he shouldn't be judge on his skin color but on his program.
Especially on all that he has promised to American people Obama has much work.
To finish we believe in him and we wish for him a good luck!!!

"We can believe in change"
This article is talking about the new president Barack Obama.
First, we are going to tell you what we saw about Barack Obama on the Dorothy's gallery.
Dorothy is an American woman who is supporting the democrate candidate Barack Obama to the presidential. So she mixed politic and art in her gallery. It is devoted to Obama ,we can see paintings,portraits,holograms and films about Obama's campain,speech's,and songs about him by famous people:singers,actresses and actors,presentaters tv like Oprah Winfrey...We saw videos people who from all the world. It is incredible number's people who like Obama and would like him as the president of the United States. Because for them he symbolises the new America. He gives hope of a new world where everybody can make it the top" we can believe in change" or " yes we can" the most popular moto as Obama said.
At the second, in France we have tv show which are devoted to Obama's history and afro American's story because we are most intered on his skin color or his african's origin than his program and the men.
We are supporting Obama because we believe in him,he represent he first black president in United States. Who is an historical evenement.
According to a french poll 80% of french people would have voting for Obama. That it show that Obama is very famous in France and french people love him. Who give a new picture of the United States , "the sympaty" and now we don't say " the Bush's America " but "the Obama's new America".
Now we are impatiently to see him on his fonction in the White House.
We stay up all the night during the 4 november to see the result and we are not desappointed but very happy.

YES YOU CAN... YES YOU DID IT!!
Obama’s victory is a very interesting topic. He’s just won a historic election because he is democrat, black and young. I think it is a real progress for the US because it means the Americans have chosen him for his ideas and they have not taken the color of his skin like an obstacle, Obama is the first American black president! And moreover they have chosen democrat ideas. He doesn’t want to be only associated to the color of his skin, but he has played on, he said about himself he was the child of a black Kenyan and a white from Kansas, he is like an allegory of the mix, of the union. In France we are very happy about it, and a lot of French people were sure of his crushing victory on John McCain. I’m really glad about his victory because now at school the future generations will learn the Americans have finally a social security,a healthcare system, and they can have acces to abortion and the war in Iraq will be finished in 2009 or 2010. I find his program is really better than anything we could imagine for the US but I find some things with which I disagree like the capital punishment maintain. Also, he spoke about a civil union for the homosexuals but not about wedding. However, I wonder where he will find the money for all the changes planned. If we compare the Democrat party in the USA and the “left” in France, I think they are very far from each other because about many objectives, Obama could be like the french “centre”.
I listened his victory speech and I really liked it. I was impressed because I’m not American, I didn’t cast my vote and however I was moved, really touched by his words. He talked about the Black cause, the women history, the present, the future, and he uses the image of an old woman, Ann Nixon, which I liked because we can really imagine the big change someone who was born in the early XXs has lived. I just don’t agree with the fact he congratulates his family ect... because I think he is the future president and his family doesn’t have any politic role, but I know it is very present and important, particularly in America, to be a symbol of virtue, even in the private life, so I wasn’t surprised.
I’m profoundly full of hope for the USA and the USA are the most powerfull nation in the world, and a huge change like Obama’s presidency could be the beginning of a new era.

it is the day of the announcement of the presidentials election's results .
In the vicinity of 5.30 pm the results are given to all the world

.......
BARACK OBAMA!!!
All the voters are proud of their new president and his first action was to
congratulate all the people who helped him in his presidential campaign.
This day was very intense for everybody because it's the end of an aera: the discrimination one.
Many personality were present (like o.Winfrey and j.Jackson), they were all moved, happy, proud of their country.
Barack wants to show that blacks and white have the same capacity and can do the same works and have the same rights. However, we have to insist on the fact that he has been chosen because of his programm and not because of his skin's color.
His slogan is "change? yes we can, yes we did". He wants to show that everybody can make it to the top. he is realizing Martin Luther King's dream.

Yes you can...make the right choice
Hi everyone!
First af all, I would like to start this article with a message from my dad. Wednesday the 5th when we got to know about the election and that Obama won. While I was too busy to answer the phone because I was doing my activities of the day my father didn't stop calling me on my cell phone. At the end of the day I finnaly heard his message which was actualy for you. He said he was proud of all Americans for their vote (he usually doesn't really like the US so just imagine what it actually means). He asked me to tell to all of my American friends and all American people I know that you made a great choice. Because of the year I spent in the US my father kinda considers me as an American now and he said: "Your country is a great country now with a wonderful president."
He finaly said that after 8 years of Bush you made the greatest choice of the entire American History. I think I never saw him being so excited. He called me multiple times on my phone, left messages and called again and again to make sure that I knew his opinion.
As for myself, during the night of the election I was so excited I simply couldn't stop moving and walking around the house. My mom was just freaking out because I wouldn't stop talking about the election with a lot of enthousiasm. I wanted to go out to an American pub and live the victory or defeat with other true American citizens. The only thing that was on TV was Obama and MacCain so it was hard not to think about it. Unfortunalty for me all of my friends were busy that night and I didn't get to go anywhere. I kind of regret now, I should have tried to find some place where I could have either get happy drunk or mean drunk depending on who was going to win.
I finally spent the night watching Forest Gump and then went to bed. Sad, I know!
It is important to us to know who the president of the Unites Sates is going to be because, as most American people don't know or realize, your culture, politics, economy have a lot of influence in France (and I believe in whole Europe). Since our president loves the US it's important to know that your president is a smart and great man such as Obama because Sarkozy might follow him everywhere. Obama is actually the favorite of whole France. TV said that 80% of the people in France would have voted for him. I think we all agree with the fact that your president is the right one and we are sure he'll do some good for your country and the whole world.
Hope you like what your people voted if not, tell us about it. Tell us what you think about him, his program and his ancient challeger.

First af all, I would like to start this article with a message from my dad. Wednesday the 5th when we got to know about the election and that Obama won. While I was too busy to answer the phone because I was doing my activities of the day my father didn't stop calling me on my cell phone. At the end of the day I finnaly heard his message which was actualy for you. He said he was proud of all Americans for their vote (he usually doesn't really like the US so just imagine what it actually means). He asked me to tell to all of my American friends and all American people I know that you made a great choice. Because of the year I spent in the US my father kinda considers me as an American now and he said: "Your country is a great country now with a wonderful president."
He finaly said that after 8 years of Bush you made the greatest choice of the entire American History. I think I never saw him being so excited. He called me multiple times on my phone, left messages and called again and again to make sure that I knew his opinion.
As for myself, during the night of the election I was so excited I simply couldn't stop moving and walking around the house. My mom was just freaking out because I wouldn't stop talking about the election with a lot of enthousiasm. I wanted to go out to an American pub and live the victory or defeat with other true American citizens. The only thing that was on TV was Obama and MacCain so it was hard not to think about it. Unfortunalty for me all of my friends were busy that night and I didn't get to go anywhere. I kind of regret now, I should have tried to find some place where I could have either get happy drunk or mean drunk depending on who was going to win.
