There was en election in Canada at the same time as the presidential campaign, and it got totally eclipsed by the American election. I even saw Obama support signs planted in front of some houses!! @ptinfrance

To me, it comes as no surprise to see the French thrilled by the outcome of the Presidential election. As a French-Canadian, I have to say I'm extremely thrilled too!

Well, okay not re-elected, but gave him enough votes so that the Republicans could steal it for him. Now, we hold our collective breath because a lot of people think something is going to happen before President Obama can take office.
