Paris Art Gallery has Obama Fever
Barack Obama has done what very few Americans have done before. No, not run for president. Get respect from the French. An art gallery in Paris is running a show that demonstrates just how much street cred the the Democratic candidate has with Europeans. Dorothy's Gallery, in the Bastille District of Paris (Rue Keller) will be running the show until November 17th. Most of the works on display are by French artists; and most, if not all, cast the Illinois Senator in a positive light. There are sculptures, photographs, sketches, caricatures and photo collages.
I doubt many red-staters are going to put the Dorothy Gallery on their itinerary. I'm sure very few undecided voters are going to be swayed by a visit. And French people aren't going to head to the polls a week from Tuesday. So the Obama exhibit is more about the way French culture celebrates celebrities and statesmen than it is about politics. No word yet on whether Jerry Lewis will lose his status as top American if Obama pulls out a victory in the elections.
