It’s all about emotion in French presidential race:

PARIS – Like Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy swept to power on a wave of hope for change. Sarkozy’s wave crashed on the global financial crisis and his own failings. On Sunday, the French leader faces a tough fight against nine challengers in presidential elections awash in fear and anger.

“Birds of a feather flock together”. Hopefully for France and the USA the voters have seen through the smoke screen their president put up when they were most venerable and looking for a change in their last election. These two brothers in arms said anything and everything the voters wanted to hear to get elected and came up with very few results.

Both B.O. and Nick whitewashed their way into the White House and the Place de l’Étoile under false pretenses that they had the secret weapon to turn their respective countries around. Based on what we see today neither leader came through as they claimed they would.

In both countries we hope that the day of reckoning has come and both part-time leaders will get the boot.

As the old saying goes’ “you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”.

Optimistically; on both sides of the Atlantic the respective citizens of each country will put their check mark in the other person box and send these two fabricating chiefs out to the pasture where they belong.

“Just think, they believed everything we promised”.
