Two weeks since the election. Some results keep falling. Yesterday, we learned that Ted Stevens, Senator from Alaska, a convicted felon, was NOT reelected. A convicted felon lost by so thin a margin that the results were official only two weeks after the election.
But hey, that's Alaska.
Two weeks.
What has happened?
Well, Barack is still here, of course. He will be for the next four years, eight years hopefully. Well actually, he might be here for the next forty years. Yes, apparently, according to some of the best experts -- they are speaking in the telly, so I suppose they are some of the best -- President-elect Obama is a Muslim Socialist taking the country on the slippery slope of dictatorship. So I wouldn't be surprised if one of the first measures Barack takes is shut down Congress, execute the Supreme Court Justices and take all powers in his own hands.
I am not sure that would be such a bad thing, especially if he locks up some of the best experts speaking in the telly.
So Barack is still here, and maybe for a while, but that's not surprising; after all, he was just elected.
Now, more surprising, Sarah is still here.
Oh my gosh, they keep talking about her. She actually keeps talking about herself. We have never seen so many interviews of her. When she was running for Vice President, she was also running away from the evil elite media. Now that she has lost, she talking to everybody.
Well, she might be running for President in 2012. If God shows her an open door.
Yes, guys, don't laugh, she has the experience now. Especially the experience of defeat. There is a rumor that the Obama campaign might raise funds for Palin's campaign in 2012.
Anyway, she does not have any other choice now if she wants to clean up Washington. She hoped to be a Senator. If the convicted felon, Ted Stevens, had won, the Senate would have thrown him out -- after all, he is a convicted felon -- and Sarah could have run for his seat.
But Stevens lost just barely -- well, he is a convicted felon -- so, Sarah won't be a Senator any time soon.
John is still here too. Guess what. Barack invited him for tea. He wants John to work with him. We expect John to be offered a position in the cabinet. Interesting, isn't it. When Barack was talking about bipartisanship on the campaign trail, he was apparently not lying like candidates usually do. This is a bit overwhelming.
What worries me, though, is that John might not be confirmed. If he pals around with Barack, he is actually palling around with a Muslim Socialist terrorist, and so John would be guilty by association, as his running mate Sarah so brilliantly explained the voters during the campaign.
Huh, that's tricky.
Anyway, I hope he will be confirmed, so that I don't have to change the title of my blog.
Finally, guess who's back.
Hillary. Hillary is back. Forget the hard feelings of the campaign during the primaries. Barack wants her to be Secretary of State, that is the person who deals with foreign policy, that is the one subject Barack and Hillary disagreed upon.
Confusing.
Anyway, that's what's going on right now.
Oh, something else. Last night, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was on David Letterman's show.
I felt a bit ashamed. For months, I made fun of my American friends because their country produced Sarah Palin.
And they got right back at me with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy on TV.

Why John lost
It is time for finger-pointing in the Republican party.
A lot of Republican commentators and editorialists put the blame on the economic crisis. At the beginning of September, McCain was ahead in the polls. Then, there was the economic crisis. Then Obama won.
I think that is a bit too easy.
If McCain lost, it is not because of the economic crisis, but because of the way he handled it. He claimed repeatedly that the economy was fundamentally strong. He "suspended" his campaign to go to Washington give a hand, and then took 23 hours to go from New York to Washington. As David Letterman said then, at the time of the Founding Fathers, it did not take as long to take the trip.
As was said at the time, McCain was erratic and impulsive.
One major reason for his defeat.
One other main reason is, of course, his choice -- although I still believe it was not really his -- of Sarah Palin as a running mate.
Palin will be remembered as the most incompetent and the most ignorant candidate in the history of Vice-Presidential candidates, and a lot of voters, including some Republicans, saw that.
We already knew that she does not know the role of the Vice-President, and that she was incapable of citing one Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade.
We are learning more these days. From the McCain campaign, too.
Yesterday, some anonymous sources revealed that she did not know that Africa was a continent, that she thought South Africa was the southern part of a country. She did not know either that Canada, the US and Mexico were part of NAFTA.
We were also told she was a "shopaholic" during the campaign. One aide called her and her husband "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast."
The Republicans are unleashing their frustration. It is a bit unfair, but it is so much fun.
I think we are going to learn much more about Palin in the next few weeks.
And I thought I would miss her.
But the main reason for John's defeat, let us not forget, is that Barack led the best, the most disciplined, the most honest, the cleanest campaign.
This is clearly Obama's victory more than it is McCain's defeat.

Post November 4 ethnic relations
It is quite incredible what is happening here after the election of Barack Hussein Obama (I like using his middle name because I feel that helps our racist friends out there to get used to it for the next four, sorry, eight years).
On election night, we saw Oprah and Jesse Jackson -- along with thousands of other people at the Obama rally in Chicago -- cry like babies. That was amusing and quite to be expected.
But yesterday, we saw Colin Powell, a Republican -- one of the best of them, for sure -- tear up in an interview as he was expressing his happiness for the Obama victory.
Wait, there is better.
Condoleeza Rice, current Secretary of State in the Bush administration, in an interview where she evoked the "extraordinary election" that has just taken place, could not hide shiny eyes from the camera.
Even Bush, whom -- whatever we think of his catastrophic presidency -- we cannot accuse of closing the door of his administration to people from diverse ethnic groups, sounded unusually sincere when he talked of the "stirring moment" that it will be when Barack, Michelle and their two girls walk into the White House.
Maybe I have stayed too much in the US and I am growing cheesy and sentimentalist, but that is something!
The New York Times titled "Obama Elected President as Racial Barrier Falls."
Yet, I don't think this is the end of racism in the US.
Racial prejudice has undermined the whole campaign, in more or less covert ways. After seeing Obama on TV for two years, the question asked by Republicans, Who is Obama really?, was nothing short of racism.
Casting doubts on his religious affiliation as if being a Muslim was a bad thing was nothing but racism.
A student told the campus newspaper that she did not think Obama was a Christian. She said that if he cals himself a Christian, she might have to start calling herself something else.
I want to tell her that Yes, she should call herself something else.
Racist sounds appropriate.
Accusing prominent black political figures, like Colin Powell, of endorsing Obama just because of his black skin, was racism.
Thinking Obama was dangerous for the country was racism.
White men predicting that the Latino voters would never vote for a black man was clearly white racism.
The Latino community overwhelmingly voted for Obama.
Calling the US led by Obama an Obamination, as many people still do today, is racism.
I certainly do not want to be a killjoy. But I don't think such racist prejudices will disappear that easily.
Obama's victory is the best thing that could happen, but as I wrote yesterday, I think he owes his victory mainly to his phenomenal qualities as a political leader.
And I am pretty sure that, if not for racism, Barack Hussein Obama would have won in a landslide rather than just a sweeping victory.
Let's enjoy, but let's remain vigilant.

364
To be elected President, Barack Hussein Obama had to win 270 Electors.
Today, without counting Missouri and North Carolina, which according to the CNN website at 2.20pm Central Time, are still too close to call, Obama has won 349 Electors.
Missouri will probably go to McCain, who will then have 174 Electors.
North Carolina looks like it is going to go to Obama: he will have 364 Electors.
It is a huge victory. In 2004, Bush won with 271 Electors.
As far as the popular vote is concerned, the victory is also unquestionable. So far, Obama is winning with a margin of almost 7 million votes. Obama won 52% of the popular vote. McCain, 46%.
Enough with numbers. What is really significant is that Obama won nine states -- that is to say states who were traditionally red -- including some who had been red states for decades.
He won Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Virginia and probably North Carolina.
The most significant victories are of course Virginia and North Carolina, two states from what is called the Deep South.
All these states were won by Bush in 2000 and 2004, except New Mexico and Iowa, which were red in 2004 but blue in 2000.
This is important because it makes of Obama a President who is more than a sectional President. He is not a bi-coastal President. He represents all parts of the country.
What makes him a unifying President, also, is of course the popular vote, unfortunately not taken much into account in the broken Electoral College system ruling American presidential elections.
In many forever-red states, the margins between the Republican vote and the Democratic vote are smaller than they used to be. For example, in states like Nebraska or South Dakota, the distributions of votes in 2000 were close to 70-30. This year, they are getting closer to 60-40.
In Texas, the proportion is this year 55-45 for McCain. In 2000 and 2004, it was 60-40.
It is in Oklahoma, where I am now, that the margin is the widest: 65.6 for McCain, 34.4 for Obama.
I guess my blog has not been read by many Republicans.
Darn it!

President-elect Barack Hussein Obama
In 1865, slavery was abolished in the United States.
In 1954, the US Supreme Court declared that segregated schools were unconstitutional,
In 2008, a black man named Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States.
Although the media had tried until yesterday not to focus too much on the amazing historical event that an Obama victory would represent, last night, after they called the election, CNN and MSNBC commentators were all about how racial relationships are going to change after this election. Jesse Jackson was crying. Oprah Winfrey was crying. Roland Martin, an African-American CNN journalist, was crying live on TV.
It is really an incredibly important event.
However, we should truly be amazed at the fact that it took so long, rather than at the fact that it finally happened.
Besides, what I find even more amazing -- and beautiful -- is that Barack won this election, he became the first black man to become President, without playing the historical card.
I followed this election closely and I do not recall one moment when Obama appealed specifically to black voters, not one moment he tried to convince the voters to vote for him because it would be a historical watershed moment.
On the contrary, to the end, even when the Republicans were calling one part of the country -- "real America" -- against the other part, Obama always and consistently called for unity.
I never heard him utter such phrases as "as a Black man," or "as an African-American," etc., etc.
He has never defined himself in terms of ethnic identity.
And I think the journalists and commentators should not make such a big deal now out of the fact that he is black. In a strange way, I think it is demeaning his victory. It is saying "People voted for Obama because they wanted to make history, they based their decision on the fact that he is black."
The sad truth is that the racism I saw in this campaign is so deep that it is not going to disappear so easily.
The happy truth is that Obama won this election not because he is black and making history but because he is incredibly smart, he has compassion, he knows the problems voters are facing and he addressed these problems, he sounded sincere all along his campaign. He was truly the best candidate of this campaign, and probably the best candidate in a long time.
And he will be a smart, intelligent, open-minded, tolerant President, and that is the best thing that could happen to this country who has cruelly lacked intelligence in the White House for many years.
Barack Hussein Obama did not win because he is black. This is just a plus. He won because he is brighter than most of us, and probably more honest than most politicians I have seen or heard.
On a humorous note, let me quote a comedian last night on the special show hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
"They were so focused on him being a Muslim and a Socialist, they forgot he was black."
In 1954, the US Supreme Court declared that segregated schools were unconstitutional,

A motley crew for Obama
On the way to Springfield, Missouri, to hear Barack's stump speech, I thought, for a minute only, We might get lucky and be able to take our seats in a half empty stadium.
The part of our five-hour car trip in Missouri was through deep red country. Not an Obama sign in sight, a lot of McCain signs. Farming countryside, trailer parks, etc.
When we got to Springfield and caught sight of the one-mile line, I knew I had day-dreamed.
In the reddest of the red counties of Missouri, a county called "Republican stonghold" by the local press, in the very same county where Palin had addressed 15,000 people a few days earlier, Obama had managed to attract about 40,000.
And I have to admit, there was something striking about this crowd. I had heard, of course, how Obama was uniting Americans, how he inspired so many people, etc., etc. And I had thought these comments a tiny bit sentimentalist-American-Dream-like. However, it was rather remarkable how diverse the crowd was.
A lot of old people and a lot of young people. Some probably too young to vote. The local newspaper this morning told the story of the two first persons to get in line at the stadium on Saturday morning. One was 17. She won't vote. The other was an Indian immigrant, not yet naturalized. She won't vote either. But they were there.
There were a lot of African-Americans of course, many of whom, I am pretty sure, had not voted in a long while because they had lost total trust in their politicians.
A man who looked like a biker, shaved head, long ZZ Top beard, whom I would have been scared of had I met him in a dark alley, was here with his African-American wife and their three children.
A family that, again with all the prejudices I am guilty of, I would have imagined part of narrow-minded ignorant white trash Republican America, believing Obama was a Muslim and believing that Muslim equalled terrorist, this family was in line behind us. As it happened, the 16-year-old daughter was taking French at school, although she was too shy to speak French with me.
I saw bumper stickers saying "Rednecks for America," which I find really funny. They actually have a website. Check it out.
B., of the couple that I mentioned in my previous blog, with whom we socialized, was telling us that he was a Christian for whom such issues as abortion and gay marriage had been moral dilemmas four years ago. He had voted for Bush. On Tuesday, he will vote for Obama.
And there was a French guy, who did not even drive fifteen minutes to go hear Royal, the candidate he voted for, giving a rally in his town. This weekend, he drove ten hours so that his kids could be part of a truly historical moment, and so that he could write about it in his blog.
There is, truly, something exceptional in this guy who is bound to become the next President of the US. He draws masses. He inspired millions to register to vote. Millions have already votes, waiting hours in line.
As the paper reported this black guy saying of the Rednecks for Obama, "it is beautiful."
Springfield, Missouri. Again!
This morning, I am waking up in Springfield, Missouri, again.
Last time I was there, I had a terrible night, and I blogged from my car at five in the morning.
It is a bit later today, and I am in the lobby of a nice motel.
I did not sleep well though.
But why am I in Springfield, Missouri, in the first place, since this seems to be a town where I am doomed to agitated sleepless nights?
Well, yesterday, Saturday November 1st, I received a message from Barack. I keep receiving emails from Barack, Michelle, Joe and the rest of the Democratic team.
He was telling me that he would be in Springfield, Missouri, that very night.
Remember how frustrated I had been, a couple of weeks ago, for missing Barack in St Louis.
Well, I ain't gonna miss him this time, says I to myself.
Sprinfield is a five-hour drive, though. Is it really reasonable?
No, it's not, let's do it.
LeAnn and the kids packed faster than they ever did and we hit the road in a small Prius with three kids in the back.
We left at 1.30pm, got in Springfield at 6.30pm. As we were looking for the stadium. we see a long line of people starting at about what our mapquest sheet says is about 1 mile away from the stadium.
We park, and we get in line. No time to look for a hotel.
It is not moving fast. But in there, we meet a very nice young couple, K. and B. They were also coming from Oklahoma City. Very nice and very interesting. Very excited about this election. We chatted all the way, they helped us with Alyenor, who was super hyper by the four lane road.
We were probably in line for two hours.
We finally got to the stadium. Packed with 40,000 people.
And it's happening. After an introduction by the local senator, Claire McCaskill, and by Michelle Obama, Barack comes up on stage.
And we are here, in the stadium, this time at the exact same time Barack is here, not three days before like in St Louis.
And we can see him. From very far, for sure, and on tiptoe, but we get glimpses. And we can hear him too. Well, we did not really listen much, because we had heard most of it on TV in the previous day.
But we are here. Shouting his name, yelling Yes We Can. Well, I was yelling Oui On Peut, so that he knows France supports him too, you know. We are here. Participating in this historical moment. The kids will have something to tell. Me too, even if I have to embellish it and exaggerate it.
He spoke for about half an hour. We had driven five hours, waited in line for two hours, we are about to drive five more hours.
It was worth every minute of it.

Campaign Trail
For Halloween, I was a Democrat campaign trail.
I was pretty scary for the folks in Noble, Oklahoma.
If Sarah Palin had not been with me, I would have got shot.
