Today at the cafe, I saw a story in a newspaper, Le Journal du Dimanche, that began: "France will not watch the Obama train pass without reacting."
The article was about President Sarkozy's effort to increase diversity in France's top public colleges. This effort is a French effort to solve a French problem (society here is rife with racial and class prejudice, particularly against Africans and Muslims). It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama, and probably would have happened in exactly the same way had Obama never been born.
But he's going to get the credit, just like George Bush took all the blame ...
