Obamania Continues

Despite President Obama's struggles with Congress, the media, and the American public, he continues to score high marks here in France. Two recent sightings:

The week before last during our vacation in the South, we spotted the President's face on these plaques on sale in a souvenir shop.



And then there's this poster for the recently released movie, Camping 2, the sort of slapsticky mess I hate in any language but that is apparently box office magic on both sides of the Atlantic. No clue why the character is sporting an Obama t-shirt or whether it figures into the dialogue.



Curiously, when I went on-line to search for a better image than the one above which I shot in an RER station, I could only find the official poster (below) in which Obama is conspicuously absent.

I was going to leave another comment, but I noticed the one above. Ms Regina obviously hasn't bothered to even read your short biography at the top right of this page.
