"Don't the French people hate this guy?"
Only lefters. He's the favorite for next president election on 2007. But Chirac hate him and want De Villepin as candidat. They probably split.
I don't like Sarkozy.
He has a double-speech ("double-discour")
Because in same time he help muslims having more mosquee and want reform law in order that imams was paid ans become the substitute of policemans on suburbs. A good way for recrut new terrorist.
And he also create the CFCM (French Muslims Council) with islamists organization inside (UOIF). The terrorists are on his side. I will never vote for him. In fact i probably leave this country. Futur of France is to become the new Liban in Europe. All ingredients are here. Still sorry for my bad english.
