"It's totally crazy, but the cool thing is that once you get past that, you start thinking that maybe it's possible. Who cares that he's not French? He's Barack Obama," one of the campaign organizers told cnn.

Obama17的一名组织者向cnn透露：“这太疯狂了，但是很酷的是，一旦你思考一番，你就会开始想也许这是可能的。谁会去关心他不是法国人？他是贝拉克·奥巴马。”

They've launched a website and they put up 500 posters of Obama around Paris last weekend, said the organizer.

这名组织者表示，他们已经于上周推出了一个网站，并在巴黎周边地区粘贴了500张奥巴马的海报。
