Just respond that Sarkozy is just like Chirac, only 25 years younger: all hat and no cattle (que de la gueule). He doesn't believe in anything apart form himself, and all is know is how to destroy political adversaries and be smooth on TV (so make that a combination of Chirac and Blair).

He doesn't care for any longterm policies, only short term visible results, and he has left messes in all the ministries he worked in. Economically, he is very illiberal (he wants to be in control, or his friends to profit) - and the Economist has already noticed.

He is anti-Europe, and anti-"neutral State"

Sarkozy is Chirac, only younger. He would be a(nother) disaster for the country.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
