As French voters look set to make a massive swing to the right in their upcoming presidential election (see our notes on the topic here and here), a group of frightened liberal protesters have decided to back a relatively surprising, if impossible, presidential candidate in 2017, Barack Obama.
And, lest you thing this is a joke, a quick walk around Paris even reveals campaign posters for "Obama17" plastered all around the city.
The group of protesters who launched the effort to bring "hope and change" to France are urging French citizens to visit their website to sign a petition to convince Obama to enter the race. They figure that 1 million signatures should do the trick.
Meanwhile, asked why they support Obama, protesters told ABC News they're looking for a candidate they "really admire" and "someone who could lead us to project ourselves in a bright future to give French people hope."
Why Obama? "Because he has the best resume in the world for the job," reads the website, which is in no way connected to Obama."At a time when France is about to vote massively for the extreme right, we can still give a lesson of democracy to the planet by electing a French President, a foreigner," reads the website in French.
A spokesperson for the group told ABC News Thursday morning, "We started dreaming about this idea two months before the end of Obama's presidency. We dreamed about this possibility to vote for someone we really admire, someone who could lead us to project ourselves in a bright future. Then, we thought, whether it's possible or not, whether or not he is French, we have to do this for real, to give French people hope ... Vive la République, Vive Obama, Vive la France and the U.S.A."
And while we have our doubts about the likelihood of this plan working out, might we suggest that Hillary Clinton would make a great candidate for a senior cabinet position in Obama's new administration.
Of course, while it's a genius plan, if we understand it correctly, there is just one minor problem...the French president needs to be, well, French.
Vive la Oui Oui stupide ... pour espoir et changement!
The Obamanation of Desolation in Gay Paree’? He’d fit right in.
LMAO....it should be easy for them to get a million signatures, they got enough muzzies there... Their just running out of cars to burn
.
Like the French aren’t already swirling in the turlet. And they want this?
Why should the French follow requirements when they elect a president. The U.S. Didn’t when they chose O’Bat turd.
I wish the French made Obama that offer in 2007 or 2008 and he accepted.
Merde
ROTFLMAO! Stop, stop......your killing me.....LOL.
France wants the Muzzie Broz to run their Country?
Why stop there? Let’s just name him President of the World!
Then everyone everywhere can feel good about themselves.
LOL!!! TAKE HIM!! You don’t have enough WHITE FLAGS!!
“Merde” is right. The French seem to be eating too many garden snails as a poor man’s escargot and destroying their human brains in the process.
This group could be 10 or 100....it is a small segment whose numbers certainly don't comprise all of French Voters as this sensationalistic title implies.
We need to stop helping these disrupters get publicity, IMO.
Can Kenyans/fake Americans be prez in France? If not I suppose he could just make a new birth certificate
His anti Americanism and damage he has done to our country is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the French
He’s a fake ‘Murican so no reason why he can’t be a fake French transgender ruler.
His first decree will be to eliminate all gender non-neutral language. The French tongue will be outlawed
Further evidence that critical thinking is near non existent in France, been that way for a long time.
merde!
So he's not French - why let that stop the French lefists from installing him there?
It'll keep the little shit out of our hair...
Maybe he can next go to Kenya and run for President - or King - or whatever they have for a head of government there, assuming they have a government.
