Catherine Cheney, Senior Editor of our magazine, went to the inauguration of Barack Obama as president of the United States this past Tuesday and shot this amazing video of the inauguration. Other Globalist members, as well as many other Yale students, also made the trip to Washington D.C. to witness firsthand this memorable event.
The Yale Globalist is excited to present our new blog for the season: The World Weighs In: International Perspectives on the US Elections! Jeania Ree Moore, a freshman in Saybrook College at Yale, is blogging about the 2008 United States elections as seen by the international community. If you are tired of the same news about the elections and want a new twist on them, you’ll enjoy this new blog.
With Barack Obama the new front runner for the Democratic nomination after his victory in Iowa, the Illinois senator faces revived scrutiny from the international media and the Washington chattering class. But one aspect of Obama’s candidacy that has not garnered much attention is his uniquely international biography and what it means for U.S. foreign policy.
