Surprise, surprise!!

French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has broken with diplomatic protocol by openly expressing his hope that Barack Obama wins the upcoming US presidential election.
"If I was an American citizen I wouldn't hesitate to vote for Obama," he told a radio interviewer on Wednesday.
While it is hardly surprising that Ayrault, a Socialist, would support the Democrat candidate in a US election, prudence normally restricts politicians from making such remarks given the possibility they will end up having to deal with their Republican rivals.
Ayrault is not however the first French minister to offer public support for Obama in his neck-and-neck battle with Republican Mitt Romney.
On Tuesday, Bernard Cazeneuve, the European affairs minister, said: "As far as I'm concerned, I totally support it (Obama's re-election) and I would be astonished if the government had any other wish."
President François Hollande was less explicit when he was asked who he would support during a visit to New York at the end of last month, restricting himself to a rhetorical: "Who would you think?"
Just another ringing endorsement
Obambi’s really racking up the world’s best & brightest lol
The French “conservatives” also love Obama. Sarko loved to be seen in public with Obama, his only beef was Obama wasn’t liberal enough on global warming for him.
Chavez, Castro, and now the French.
He ain’t fooling me. He just don’t want all the crazy libs from this country moving there. They’ve already got all the freeloaders they need.
So does Castro, Chavez and Putin, but like 0bama, they just don’t understand Americans! We don’t like to be told what to do!
Stick a piece of cheese in your mouth,Pierre...you’re in for a disappointment early next month.
Almost none of the world leaders wanted Reagan. Yet, the ones who did were the ones who really mattered: Thatcher, Walensa, JPII. If Romney is elected, I wonder which world leaders will be his kindred spirits?
I hope Mitt Romney cuts them off and all the states that vote for Obama off. That is what Obama would do about people not supporting him.
That’s fine. And I want you to lose, and to live the rest of your life learning the humility that you never learned to this point. I want you to watch, on the sidelines, while all that you’ve constructed to inflate your likely already inflated self concept is exposed for the empty and harmful junk philosophy that it is.

Stupid government people don't get it, but the people do. Socialism creates poverty and free-market capitalism creates wealth.
Thanks DeaconBenjamin.
One intellectual-moron endorcing another.

I want France to disappear down the rabbit whole.
Surprise, surprise!!
Hey Frogey! Got your White flag ready to go on November 7th?
“I’m Mitt Romney, and I approve this message.”
Stupid government people don't get it, but the private citizens do. Socialism creates poverty and free-market capitalism creates wealth.
