So it is Président Sarkozy. As if I care. As if policy makers today are anything more than commissaires du capitalisme. As if the world would have stopped turning if Mme Royal had been elected, a new French Revolution coming our way. Yeah, right!
Nevertheless those French lefties are a strange bunch. Libération could not wait a day to report that nasty boy Sarko spent his pre-presidential retreat on the yacht of a business friend (the scandal of it!). So what? Do presidents have to spend their retreat in a cave or something? Furthermore the newspaper is already comparing Sarkozy to mobster Berlusconi. Bottom-line: this guy must be the Antichrist in person.
Next, two lady writers report in a suspiciously timely new book that Royal and her husband-not-husband François Hollande did have a quarrel during the presidential campaign. This quarrel would then have subverted her abilities to campaign. Yeah, right! As if the French are not and have not always been one of the most rightist countries in Europe, where, as everywhere else, the villagers and farmers always vote for the rightist candidate.
And all the while extreme-left sympathizers are torching cars and destroying whatever comes their protesting ways because they suspect Sarkozy is the new Hitler.
Will someone please put some tranquilizers in the French drinking water and tell these people to get a grip.

Fire I agree with this assessment right down to my intestines, if not deeper, all the way to my Lacanian lack and behind it to the essential Deleuzian positivity that produces it!
It's all Royal's own fault. Say what you want about Sarkozy, but he is clear about what he wants and how he will do it. Royal on the other hand with her fuzzy "I feel your pain" and "Let's make this country better" psychobabble is Wouter Bos squared.
