Sarkozy is better than Chirac, but thats not saying much. As far as I can see he is just like Chirac, Chirac promised to reform the system, but then spent his time doing all he can to stay in power, Sarkozy is doing the same and its just not enough. Fact is all I can see is a load of broken promises, and the Lisbon Treaty agreement following the referendum rejection of the European Constitution was shameful, even though he had campaigned on that, what choice did people have, Socialists who would vote through the EU or Sarkozy, uuuuggggh, I was serioualy disappointed in him.

OK so immigration is a bit tougher, but take this example, some immigrants burnt down a new holding area, what happened to them, were they shipped out as arsonists en masse, nope, just sent to other centres. All we see is weakness, weakness and weakness.

France is a joke, the UK is a joke the EU is a sick joke, what a mess.

The graceful art of distraction: practiced by magicians, con men, thieves, and politicians since time immemorial.

I had to quote the above because it was so striking to read. I also thought it was a mistake for Sarkozy to weigh in on the Israel-Muslim conflict by stating that the Israels should share Jerusalem. I think he probably meant “divide” but did not have the nerve to state it outright. I also think that Americans are accused of thinking we are the center of the world but in reality we are the distraction for the world. Every time I read that a people from another country are looking closely at their own government I think “good!”. For too long rulers in other places have used outside distraction to take attention from themselves, their incompetency and their failure to fulfill their duty to their fellow countrymen and woman.
