Obama in Paris

Several dozen Obama supporters turned out on Saturday to support their candidate on the Debilly footbridge, as announced on this blog earlier. In a special surprise, Obama himself showed up to have his picture taken with the crowd. :-)

The French love Obama, as do most Europeans; I just hope the rightwing smearmeisters won't hold that against him they way they did with John Kerry (see previous post.)

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
