Parisians celebrate Obama win in 2012


The 2012 Presidential campaign was no contest overseas.
US embassy figures report 100,000 US expatriates live in France, half of them in Paris

According to  The Local - France's news in English patrons at Harry's Bar in Paris commented, 
"If Romney wins, it's gonna be a disaster!" said retired neurosurgeon Jean-Marie Dessama.

Romney was widely derided by patrons, with some bashing him for "religious extremism" while others called his policies "inhumane" or "reactionary".



Obama may have won 50% of the electorate Tuesday night, but he won an overwhelming 78% across the Atlantic. President Barack Obama, reelected on November 6, has many friends in France – even on the far right! (Although it’s a running joke among Americans that a far right French politician falls dead center on an American spectrum.)
