France's President Francois Hollande showed a fine understanding of American politics Tuesday when he refused to endorse a US presidential candidate. 

Asked by a reporter at the UN General Assembly in New York whether he backed Democratic incumbent Barack Obama or his Republican rival Mitt Romney for the White House, a smiling Hollande shot back: "Who do you think?"

"Are you aware that Mitt Romney never ceases to attack socialist Europe at his campaign rallies?" asked Hollande, Europe's most powerful socialist leader.

"Yes, that's why I'll be careful not to say anything at all on this subject because, as you'd imagine, if a socialist supported one of these two candidates, that could cost him dear," he explained.

Then, a brainwave.

"So I suppose I should endorse Mitt Romney," Hollande joked. "But I won't."

François Hollande neglected to mention radical Islam or terrorism in his speech today at the UN. he was one of the leaders snubbed by "the Won". He may be a Socialist, and a first class a-hole, but he is a smart enough politician to realize that 0 could lose, and he would be left with nobody to talk to (just as he was today).

I bet somewhere Mitt Romney is devastated by the news that a Socialist jackass who wants to take 75 percent of people’s wealth isn’t endorsing him..such a shame

[gorush]

This guy is just listening to the rhetoric, he should look at Romney’s record and he would be enamored.

Hollande’s speech was about Mali, and the French citizens being held hostage there.
I’m guessing the hostage takers are not Swedish!

F him to hell along with all the left wing creeps circling around this globe.

Romney criticizes socialist Europe for good reason, so God help us we don’t become like them.

Frog bites Romney.. NOW thats news...

I’m sure he’d vote for a fellow Socialist, Obama, but Obama will just have to make do with Madonna’s putrid endorsement, which Fox aired this evening.

Here in France even the liberal socialist medias admit that Hollande’s approval rates are already plummeting.

Hollande and his bunch of socialists in the government are already lame ducks 4 months after elections. They were elected by default and with the strong support of immigrants(voting for wellfare big state)

Hollande is not jocking . He is a joke ! And it speaks volume if he supports Obama ...2 lame ducks

[Viennacon]

Obama and Hollande go together like Ahmedinijad and crazy

[Cincinna]

We have heard about Hollande’s approval plummeting to 43% What are the options for conservatives now? Do you think Sarko will make a comeback, or will the neo-fascist le Pen wing grow?

I think Hollande is covering his bets. I’d 0 loses, he will have to deal with President Mitt Romney. Gee, that sounds better and better every day.
Amitiés, Cincinna

Holland is a better president than the one we’re stuck with for a few more months.
