CCGES Roundtable: Pt. 1 - Europe's Love Affair with Obama

A roundtable panel of the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies at Toronto's York University discusses aspects of the European relationship with president-elect Obama and his new administration. In this first segment, the group looks at the hurdles a candidate similar to Obama might face in a variety of European contexts. From his minority background to his relative quick ascendancy without years of "dues paying" in his party, the panel expresses some well-grounded skepticism that a similar candidacy would be possible in Europe's political cultures.
