As A french citizen with a clean judiciary book, I have the right to express myself about what I consider having been the greatest mistake the french voters made in the Fifth Republic. We have now, an example of what happen when marketing, communication and machiavelism take over a political system. I am convinced that Sarkozy and his "Pompadour" will move to the Versailles-Palace. He has bluffed everybody; including russians leaders. There is not an once of sincerity in that man who genetically is a descent of the hungarian "bourgeoisy". He is certain to have "blue blood" and be superior to any other frenchman. We have reached the paroxysm of mediocrity, but apparently the "sovietised" self-censured french medias which belong to those who fabricated that "clown" make us beleive that we, frenchmen, still are the nombril of the planet Earth. If you could see how good they are to advise and condamn others. How can such a lucky territory of 550 000 km² manage to be in such a bad shape. The sadest thing of all: there is nobody else to replace that nullity. Peraphs that, when General De Gaulle said that frenchmen were sheep, he insulted those sweet animals. Pauvre France !
