The slogan on posters in Paris streets translates as "Yes We Can!" The people behind the campaign are urging former U.S President Barack Obama to join the French presidential race. Their online petition has already attracted more than 45,000 signatures in 10 days and they hope to reach a million supporters by March 15. The team has also had mugs and T-shirts made with the image of Obama, which they are selling on their website. Sarah Wachter, an American who has lived in France since 1999, sees the petition as a positive sign for France.
