Having living in America over 20 years, still having there some very sincere and honest friends, I am still well informed. Consequently, I wrote, right from the beginning what to expect and the whole scenario which made the Obama-election possible. N-PiPO is no worse than any other president; he is just a pawn of that cynical US system. Like our machiavelic french president, he is the product of the marketing and communication's industries. We can elect any "guignol" that we want; if we don't do a real audit of the situaion and change the whole system, nothing will improve. Sadly, we must admit that there are identical problems in many places. When, will a good example shows up !!! For laugh ! Sarkozy saved the World from a third World-War, in Georgia, then E-U from collapsing, when he was its president; then, the capitalist system during the financial fiasco, he is still convinced that Copenhagen, was a succes. This time, he saved the whole planet (Naturaly, according to his prostitutes french medias). Is-it the kind of politicians that we deserve. There is something wrong with the priorities and selecting process; not only in France (Look at the Copenhagen conference's mess. Then we will have Bonn, Mexico. For what !!!) Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin
