Francois Hollande was this morning sworn in as the new Socialist President of France - before getting drenched on an embarrassing open-topped drive up the Champs Elysee. The 57-year-old was inaugurated in a simple ceremony at the Elysee Palace in Paris, nine days after defeating the conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in a nationwide election. But it was during his 'triumphant' drive up France's most famous avenue that everything started to go wrong. As he poked his head out of the sunroof of a Citroen DS5, heavy rain started to pour, and there was no effort made to pull back the sunroof.

The most dangerous time for our country is the antiquated “lame duck” season when defeated pols can plant mines in the roadway for the winners.
In the early days of the nation, it took legislators from western states weeks to reach D.C. It takes a couple of hours now. This ought to be junked.
Apparently the guy doesn't even know to get out of the rain.
no need for lame duck period, here is all
they need:
“We need more time, we need more money”
“that was unexpected”
there ya go, the complete socialist
program.
France just OBAMA’D themselves.
Maybe Hollande can ask Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown for some advice on turning the French economy around.
Go beg the Germans to invade again!
Apparently the guy doesn't even know to get out of the rain.
They just called. Not interested, the people of the land are useless.
That dumbrella B racist. Just look at the angry wookie.
The “lame duck” period used to run all the way to March 4.
2 1/2 months is progress.
-—everything started to go wrong. As he poked his head out of the sunroof of a Citroen DS5, heavy rain started to pour-—
Yup. Driving a Citroën was a big mistake.
Their constitution is a living, breathing, always gasping piece of work. It can be changed or amended at the drop of a beret. The document also makes it clear that the ever-changing "rights" and sovereignity of the French folks are derived from "the people", not from God. Oh, oh.
I wonder who or what a French President-elect swears to when he takes the oath of office - is it to the "people" (i.e.commune) or to the Euro Union.....or to their famous live-in, Johnny Depp?
Surely, not an oath to God with one hand placed on a Bible....not in fallen-away France, anyhow.
The closet commie, Monsieur le President Hollande, and his government should have a ball ruling France as there are virtualy few checks and balances to keep the new Leftist government on the straight and narrow....checks and balances our U.S. Constitution has provided us for over 200 years........at least up until the arrival of the illegitimate Obama regime.

I was about to say the same thing. Why do we have this silly lame duck nonsense? That’s when the “sore losers” do the most damage!
Conductor! We’re headed for a cliff!
Quick, go ask the passengers if they want us to hit the brakes, causing them discomfort and a nasty squealing noise!
Sir, they said “no”.
OK, full speed ahead!
So the commie’s parade got rained on. That’s an auspicious start.
