This is the type of life America's democrat socialists envision for themselves.

Everyone works and contributes ...except for them of course.

Meanwhile, Hussein pals around with the 1-percenters and is exempt from a law named after him.

Obama wants us all to have three homes: our assigned workplace, the neighborhood re-education center run by ACORN or the Black Pampers, and your 800 sq ft apartment. He’ll let you know which one you can use each day.

Did Sarkozy ever bring this up in the campaign? If not, why not?

It’s pretty obvious that France’s Media did the same lousy job at vetting this guy as ours did with Obama.

Exactly. He had to know.

Sarkozy was a fraud. He brought up right wing positions to get elected. But he never implemented them.

2 million French voters voted no choice - following Marine Le Pen and the National Front.

That's because they understood - they didn't really have a choice: either a real Socialist, or a closet Socialist fraud.

It's too bad. It means France will now become Islam-ized and African-ized, as Hollande uses them to push through his welfare programs.

the Death of the West at the hands of the Left continues.

I doubt very much that Lenin and Stalin lived like ascetics either. This is nothing new, just good old-fashioned, garden variety Socialism.

Elitist class, the envy of all progressive socialists in this country. Now that zero is a millionaire it’s all those other millionaires and billionaires that are the problem. Comes down to those who work for thier money and those who steal from others

Just like the Russian Communist leaders. Those leaders all had theirs; but the masses needed to work/sacrifice for the common “good”.
Just like American liberals.
