Nighter at the American University of Paris. Obama fever!
Philip, equipped with earphones, was supposed to filter the entries the American University of Paris (AUP). His pancake seemed, however, absorb more than the comings and goings of students, journalists and others who had decided to live this moment, we promised history, with the UPA.
A friend Kuwaiti student at AUP we toured the owner. Local BDE, lounge, private bar ... We almost forget that we are in a "University" ... Anarchy paper, bottles (and not water!) On offices and on the ground ... This is not really at Sciences Po that we would see such a spectacle
Flat screens broadcast live from the CNN special. The results fall gradually as the night. Tension mounts
Like their compatriots of the same age, young Americans of UPA voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. Cries of joy burst forth as soon as the Democratic nominee's face appears on screen. That McCain is greeted with loud whistles and a few "f ... you". Much of the participants in this sleepless night was in a fairly advanced state of intoxication.
There was, anyway, and fortunately, a few survivors who agreed to share their thoughts, feelings and hopes before my camera. They are like the United States. Here turn the testimony of two "Pro Obama" (an African-American, an Arab-American) and last but not least a Pro McCain who admits feeling of belonging to a minority.
PS: I have other videos of this memorable evening but unfortunately I have great difficulty managed to repatriate my blog despite my repeated efforts! I try again soon.
PS2: Thanks to Hussain Al Fili for introducing me to the UPA and collected the testimony of his friends tonight historique.
