SOCIAL: obamamania in Amsterdam

[Dave Snyder]

This from an Amsterdam newsletter I regularly read:

Students' Obamania criticised

2 November 2008 - "My students are now handing out leaflets for Obama  
in America while I can't get them interested in political activities  
in Europe", Professor of Political Science Jos de Beus of the  
University of Amsterdam told NRC Handelsblad.

"America is still sexy. They acknowledge that global power relations  
are changing, but they still long for continuity of the existing world  
order", he added.
