		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am afraid I disagree, I don&#039;t think that had he been white Mr Obama
would not have been in that position.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think he is exceptionnally talented and he happens to be black.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m french I think he is better than Sarkozy, Chirac, Mitterand, Giscard (though very clever too he never had M Obama&#039;s Charisma nor as I think his will to change things).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is true that being black gives him an additionnal symbolic strength that would be given to his country should he be elected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can I make a confidence ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Biden was referring to the next president due to be tested,
I am a non amaerican person, and I think that it is the american people as a whole who will be tested tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a democracy the poeple is the sovereign, he chooses or &quot;hires&quot; his leader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the 2 past elections the people did not choose the best candidate,
Mr Mac Cain is better than Bush, but Mr Obama is a candidate of exceptionnal talent, I think this is an opportunity to have such a valuable person as a candidate, we haven&#039;t had somebody of that level as a candidate in France for decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think a great people can not remain great and keep its leadership on the world cutlture long if he misses opportunities too often&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we will see how the american people takes the test...&lt;/p&gt;
