French presidential elections.

Well, for now it's just nice not to have to look at five more years of the self-absorbed devilish gnome. First big test for Hollande will be his promise to remove all French troops from Afghanistan by end 2012, pass a law taxing the rich, and reinstating the retirement age of 60.

 

[Learner]

Well, I don't think either, it will make much difference. However, let's see, how Hollande turns out though. Glad, that the clown is out.

 

[Windmill knight]

I'm not holding any hopes for the new guy and I do not expect to see any change, but nevertheless I'm quite happy!! Take that Sarko!!

Yeah, we take our little pleasures at the demise of the corrupt where we can get them in this screwed up world.

 

[Chu]

Yeah, not holding my breath here... it sure is nice not to have to look at Sharko's face again, and Hollande does act more humanly (not hard compared to dear Sarko), but he sounds too much like Obama. "Change and hope", etc. And he's in cahoots with Julien Dray. Or at least he used to be. And J.D is a dangerous eeevvvilll Sionist.

So, I don't know. Maybe with Sarko, there would have been a better change for a "revolution". With Hollande, it is likely to be the same of worse, but people might just relax too much. On the other hand, a revolution might not be the solution, if it turned out like the previous one...

I seriously doubt the result! Hollande probably won by far more, but the lovely voting machines made it look less humiliating for Sharko, who wouldn't have been able to stand it.

Let's wait and see, I guess. For now, at the possibility of the garden dwarf starting to pay for his crimes and ending up in a really bad light!

I wonder how long before Carla Bruni will divorce the self-absorbed devilish gnome? :P

Maybe we can start a betting pool?

I say that she'll stay for 3 months, leave, and they will be divorced before the year is over.

Lol! Okay, I'll play. I say 3 weeks before she leaves. And maybe she'll hook up with someone else.

I'll play too. I think she will stay for one month after the inauguration of Hollande and then have a speedy divorce. What is the shortest amount of time available in France?

I would say 2 months after the inauguration of Hollande.

Wishing you the best with you new President, but as we have seen over and over, I don"t think that it would be that much different.

Am putting my money on as-soon-as-possible. I think she was with gnome for the first-lady title, and now that he is going down, she'll leave ship. If the rumors about her past relationships are true, she doesn't seem to care so much about conventions.

Let's see what Hollander does...

 

[Tomek]

I'm pretty sure that's the case too. The right-wing folks did everything they could to tweak the results, but after all, the french people aren't THAT dumb. That's a small good news, but a good news nevertheless.

Regarding Hollande, he's a nice bureaucrat who will gently apply everything Bruxelles will ask. I'm not holding my breath, but at least this morning I'm a little less embarrased to be french.

 

[SeekinTruth]

I, too, don't think there will be much difference. But at least, Hollande will probably be less obnoxious. Gotta take your small blessings where you can.

 

[loreta]

Hope he is not like Obama! But do you think that things with him will change, a little? Like Miviludes, for example? But I am afraid that all the politicians have les mains liées. Even if they wanted to do something, they can not. And if they win an election it is because they have been accepted for X reasons. And don't forget how many scums (crapules) are the bosses in this fascist Europe, we know that after reading the Detroux dossier... Politics, politics of the devil.

But I am happy that Sarkozy is not there anymore, specially for his participation in Libya, something that I will never forget, ever.

Maybe it is true that Sott.net change "something", a movement in the air like a palpitation of a butterfly wing... There is evidence that people wanted change, are tired to see all this liars and assassins in power. ..

 

[Tigersoap]

I am glad the Mohamed Merah episode did not sway the votes the way it was planned to but maybe this was more of a message to Hollande for the future ?

I am not holding my breath either because here in Belgium, despite the Socialists being in the majority it's been more of the same (or worse) but the situation might be different in France.

As for C. Bruni, her contract will be terminated shortly, she'll have to distanciate herself pretty fast from the little inflamed dude, but who will keep the child ?
