Congrats Obama!

This week is all about the USA. Walking into school Monday morning it looked like the 4th of July. There have been contests and parties, all themed after American inspiration (re: The American Dream Party).

Many students chose to stay up all night to watch the action at bars where the parties went on all night. For those of us not quite hard core enough to stay up all night, we got up at 5 am to watch the final poles come in and hear Obama's acceptance speech. By 6am 2 large amphitheatres were filled with students to watch the festivities together and hear political science experts weigh in on Obama's victory. One French newstation even had a correspondant persent in the theatre, showing the students at Sciences-Po enthusiam for the campaign and victory.

Will things change? I believe they will. Can we make things improve? YES WE CAN.
