Liberation On Obama

By The Daily Dish

The French newspaper echoes what can only be called euphoria from America's allies and friends around the world at the prospect of an Obama presidency:

Obama should thank Bush in his prayers. Without him, America wouldn't be seeking a uniter - or even a redeemer. A man capable of bringing together men and women (one third of women voted for him and not her), Blacks and Whites, Blue (Democrats) and Red (Republicans). A man who pardons the original sin of the slave and who holds up a mirror to America in which she is beautiful, multi-racial and pragmatic. A man who will heal the gaping wound of the Iraq War and restore America's image in the world.

A little hyper-ventilating even for us Obamanians.
