Recent Reaction to Obama in Belgium

There is no doubt about it, Europeans are into Obama. I was asked countless times in Belgium about the elections from just about everyone I met. Some asked directly and others wove the O question into the conversation. Except for my driver from the airport all seemed very happy about the outcome of our US Presidential elections, the driver however seemed more interested in Obama’s skin color. I have to say that it was such a nice change after years of being questioned about Bush’s policies. Add that on to the strengthening of the dollar against the euro and things are looking up for European travel.
