We celebrated the Obama inauguration last night by having an "American" party with the boys: hamburgers, Orangina (okay, not so American), and potato chips. It was great fun.
The inauguration was front page news on every European newspaper at the newstand today. The Guardian (UK) had the headline: Let the Rebuilding of America Begin. Le Figaro (France) ran with a quote from Obama, "Rebatisson l'Amerique" (We will rebuild America). All the news channels, and many of the network channels, carried the inauguration live.
Overall, there is a huge amount of support for Obama in Europe. He is enormously popular, and there was a real "buzz" in the air today as people talked about the inauguration.
A little global goodwill towards Americans is certainly a welcome thing!

That is very cool! I had heard that many European countries are really into our election, and I guess it is true! It's pretty amazing to see the whole world coming together with this inauguration!
