President Barack Obama invited French president-elect Francois Hollande to the White House later this month, expressing hope the pair would work "closely," a spokesman said Sunday.

In a telephone call to congratulate Hollande on his election victory, Obama "indicated that he looks forward to working closely with Mr Hollande and his government on a range of shared economic and security challenges," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.

Obama and Hollande "each reaffirmed the important and enduring alliance between the people of the United States and France," the statement read.

Just another reason to fire the socialist in the White House come November.

At least Hollande is honest about what he is.

Ubama wants to tell Hollande that he will have more flexibility after the election.

Hollande ... isn't that some kind of sauce that French chefs smear over a cooked horse?

If Hollande doesn’t like fillet of pooch, KFC, ribs, Colt .45 or Ripple, he is going to be shit out of lunch at the State Dinner. The guy may want to consider taking a brown bag.

Hey Barry. Wanna lock up the election? Give the French about $100 billion. Really. People will love you for it.

How does this help our sociopathic socialist in chief? Everything zero does is based on political calculation. Perhaps zero will tell Hollande to cool it until November. But coming out fast and strong for the socialiste gives conservatives the chance to make the obvious connection.

Hollande’s wife is a good contrast to Wookie too. But her nickname is ‘rotweilier’ so she’ll probably get along with the old Wook.

RE :”” Hollande has promised more government spending and higher taxes — including a 75-percent income tax on the rich...”........
If they are truly rich, they can live anywhere they want...
which means they won’t live in France....Isle of Man, maybe.
This socialist moron doesn’t care if revenues go down...we must be “fair
””

Marylands Dems (O Malley) raised taxes on the middle class a few times and wants more, the tax increases on the rich are just the chasers to make us feel better about our taxes going up and didnt raise much of anything.

Taxes on the rich may make voters feel a little better about what they are going through but they never raise the type of revenue anywhere near what the socialists promise in spending, or even raise what is promised.

Honestly I want to see France try a 75-percent income tax , lets see how it works. I bet the voters won't be happy with the socialists either. They cant create their own money like Obama/Bernanke can.

I am pretty sure Obama will raise our taxes through a veto if he gets re-elected. Romney?? Who knows what he would do?

Not to worry, according to Sarko's fan club on FR, NO French President besides Nicholas Sarkozy would ever visit the White House and spend time touring America (it was "unheard" of before Sarko did it!) So by their logic, the "anti-American" Hollande will NEVER set foot on american soil. Photos like this are clearly just our wild imaginations:
