As a European, I give my full support to Sarkozy!

The article:

"France has endured a second day of travel chaos as transport unions continued to strike against President Nicolas Sarkozy's pension reforms.

More trains were running than on Wednesday, but millions of people still struggled to get to and from work.

The misery looks set to continue after state rail and Paris transport workers voted to continue striking on Friday."

The French people *know* it’s not Sarkozy, that’s screwing up their lives and making their daily lives a misery...It’s the Unions and the Socialists that are causing their extra griefs.
