Oh, I do know...

But the president is meant to uphold the Constitution, not act as if it were irrelevant.
I know it is wishful thinking these days. But it would be a great danger to become accustomed to the impostor.

By the way, this is something I thought about and started to fear. Sarkozy has been so unbelievably awful from the start that people are likely to become used to it. And it may take a colossal catastrophe in 2012 to remind them of quite how incompetent he is -especially since most of the media will play his songs even more than now.
It may well be that had he been less incompetent, he would have stood a lesser chance of staying in power. As it is, the bar will be so low that people may have forgotten how angry they were about him.

Sounds like Bush... sigh.

I mentioned schadenfreude as one of my sentiments when Sarko won - ok all you Frenchies, see, you can be dumb too. But to be fair, Sarko isn't as bad as Bush, and you haven't _re_elected him. The Italians on the other hand...

Well, maybe a 'quite' would be in order.

But here is my comeback: at least you haven't ever elected Bush (OK, that he should get over 5% of the votes was embarrassing enough). Voter fraud took care of that, while he had lost both elections.
There does not appear to have been significant fraud in France, so we must accept the fact that 'we' chose him.

Having said that, McCain appears to be leading in the polls at the moment. Ahem.
