Perhaps Hollande can share some of his election tips:

1. promise immigrants the right to vote
2. cure voters of their addiction to “foreign oil” and get them addicted to government handouts forever
3. promise a reduced retirement age

Forget Austerity, here’s to Dependency

First question Obama will ask Hollande...

How did you manage to sell them on a 75% tax rate?

Obama to Hollande: "Hope and Change."

Hollande to Obama: "Apres moi, le Deluge!"



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

When, if ever, will the people in the U.S. wake up to see what Obama plans for America? do they know or just not care that we are following Europe down the rabbithole?

I’m going to miss Madam Sarkozy - she was a perfect contrast to the wookie beast.

Hollande has promised more government spending and higher taxes — including a 75-percent income tax on the rich...

Who gets tips from whom?
