This is no different than Jerry Brown being elected governor of California.
....and the result will be the same.
What a disaster.
I wonder if it means anything that Hollande’s plane was hit by lightening.
The people voted....they have a right to choose their leader....and they deserve to be punished.
In a very odd, highly partisan, cold, monarchic, ceremony, Hollande was formally proclaimed President. (Unlike the US, there is no oath.)
Hollande’s four children, by former girlfriend Segolène Royal, were not present, nor were any other family members, only his live-in girlfriend, Valerie Trieweiller.
In contrast to Sarkozy’s inauguration where his wife, three sons, his mother and father, his brothers and their families were present.
It was a strictly partisan, Socialist Party affair, with all past Socialist Prime Ministers, the illegitimate daughter of Mitterrand, Mazarine, and othe Socialist Part stars present.
Hollande’s speech was mediocre, full of the usual socialist platitudes about “economic justice” “social justice”, saving the planet, etc Obama redux!
The beginning of the video shows Sarko and Carla leaving the Élysée Palace to cheers and applause.
In a breach of etiquette, Hollande did not accompany the departing President to his car.
Be careful what you vote for. You just might get it.
Mr Normal, François Hollande, has no show no work Soprano style patronage jobs with an income of 350,000 per year, and a real estate portfolio worth more than half a million euro. He rents out one Paris apartment for 3000/ month. This is not the wealth of the Mr Average or Mr Normal that Hollande pretends to be.
There is nothing wrong with earning large salaries, or owning real estate to live in, or for investment. It is just socialist hypocrisy to pretend this is normal or like the average person. Not surprising from François and live-in girlfriend, Valerie. BoBos (Bourgeois Bohemians) to the max.
Leftist are so Tactless.
I wonder if the Socialists fools will be cheering when their Bank Assets get put under Sharia Banking Laws?
Wonder if his “partner” is prettier than Michelle?
