Yes you do read right, "Le Figaro" center-right online edition of the journal paper version, ask us if we want president Obama to be reelected for a second mandate! (1) One would mind if French are aware of U.S politics; or at least have an opinion about his first mandate as president of the United States, or by which intellectual debauchery, we would have our say about for who the Americans must vote in the upcoming election.

But the poll is not much concerned about politics, than perceived King Of Cool attitude that president Obama reflects, always easy going and fashion, that's the image he gives less than his politics that are discussed by a large majority of [s]leftists[/s] journalists in Europe in general. The first Lady has her lovely "people" article too about the Olympics , while Mitt Romney is mocked, here is some short sentences from the article (2) I share with you :

_ "great unknown on the international scene"

_ "Failures "troubling""

_ "his journey began with false notes"

_ "diplomatic odd"

_ "remarks about Obama that can pass for racist" anything goes...
