Socialist Francois Hollande defeats Nicolas Sarkozy

[raven818]

If you're thinking, I don't need to read this, who cares, this don't mean anything to me..you're wrong.

Hollande, being a socialist has promised the sheep that he will take care of them. The only way to do that is, spend, Baby, spend. The issue with the fools who elected him is, he's going to raise their taxes in order to support the free-loaders who aren't on the country's list of folks who contribute. The end result should be obvious. After all, we're staring it in the face here. Another four years of bHo, and we won't be concerned the rest of the world. We'll be spending our days on the nations street corners with a cardboard sign, and our hands out because the feds have nothing else to give.

BTW, it isn't mentioned in this story, but it appears Britain is going in the same direction. Socialism wins in the next election.

The Euro, in short time, collapses, and along with it, the rest of the world. I'm sure that isn't a problem though. What's the loss of a few million 401k accounts mean anyway?

Doing what needs to be done to save France and the rest of europe is now old school.

There was a movie a while back, where a guy was in a plane sitting on the back of an atomic bomb as it was being dropped.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy lost his bid for a second term Sunday to Socialist candidate Francois Hollande, in a vote that could have reverberations across Europe and around the world – and especially in Washington.

The decision marks a sharp turn away from the budget-cutting policies trumpeted by Sarkozy and other European leaders who tried to respond to the financial crisis by tightening their belts.

By contrast, Hollande has called for more spending, financed by more taxes. His election means a Socialist is taking power in Paris for the first time since Socialist Francois Mitterrand was president from 1981 to 1995.

In Washington, the White House has not yet put out a statement on the results. President Obama worked closely with Sarkozy last year on the military intervention in Libya, and will get his first up-close glimpse of Hollande’s foreign policy stance at the looming NATO summit in Chicago later this month.

Hollande said European partners should be relieved and not frightened by his presidency. ( what can go wrong, huh? )

"I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again," Hollande told huge crowds of supporters in his electoral fiefdom of Tulle in central France. "We will succeed!"

He also declared in his victory speech that: "Austerity can no longer be inevitable!"

yeah he promised open borders unlimited immigration and welfare to all those who had been denied it ,

the Grand mufti of france has called for all good muslims to come to france and declare it a caliphate , the socialists stated that would not happen , it happened 30 minutes after the announcement of the vote ..

bon chance france , its been nice knowing you ....

[raven818]

They already have ( and it's been so for a while ) the largest population of muslims there, than any other non muslim country in the world.

He'll change this too:

In a move that has already been met with a burst of civil defiance, France became the first country to ban Islamic face veils anywhere in public.

Those caught violating the ban are liable to a fine of 150 euros ($216) or lessons in French citizenship. However, as the Associated Press is reporting, several women appeared in burqas in front of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and two were detained for taking part in an unauthorized protest.

Such laws have been stirring controversy across Europe for the past year, ever since Belgium's lower house voted a year ago in favor of banning the full veil. (The Belgian ban has not been enacted and is on hold owing to long-term political deadlock.)

That works Marlin.

bHo is asking him to come here before the G8 meeting for " dinner " ( puppy with a nice Ver Blanc. butter makes everything better ).

This guy, like obozo, came out of nowhere to win. Wonder if Soros fits somewhere in between them, in the NWO?

To raven818, I read that the largest population of Muslims outside of of traditional the Muslim areas was here in the United States, between Toledo, Ohio and Flint, Michigan.
To gvw3, it already happened here, we have a Socialist President.

those who beat their guns into plowshares, will plow for those who didn't

Take a look at this!

Another hipocrite liberal elite.I hope France is happy when they are spent into total finacial collapse by left wing politics.

France...Spain...Greece. End of days for the Euro. The folks holding their debts are going to be asked to accept a payback of pennies on the dollar, then they go under.

Domino effect worldwide. This is not a worse case scenario, this is the inevitable conclusion.

Economically, it is partially true that the change in French government 'could' cause more spending to provide for additional handouts however, there are limits as to how far it can go. The European Union and all Euro countries combined are locked into a treaty that limits the allowed deficit as a percentage of GDP. Germany missed that a couple times during the assimilation of East Germany, but only by a small margin. Greece and Italy have also blown it a little a couple times. Overall though, no Euro country is allowed to let it get out of control. France can not just go ahead and print 3 trillion more Euros all by itself. The only avenue really for increasing cash to the government is by increasing taxes.

As far as the Euro goes, this could cause a dip in the rate against the dollar - which for the US isn't a really good thing since it raises the cost of goods imported from the US. Overall though, the USD is currently quite a bit below where the Europeans would like it to be - caused by the US overspending and the financial problems that happened here with the sub-prime fiasco and massive financial institution losses. If the US government continues the current trend, the deficit will double or triple in not so many years and the dollar will eventually be like the Russian Ruble (i.e. toilet paper) as far as value goes. Then we can all get prepared to take a wheelbarrow full of money to the grocery store for a loaf of bread.

The entire concept in creating the Euro as a European zone currency was to have a currency that was effectively on par with the dollar. In the initial phase of the Euro launch, the value was set artificially high then allowed to fall to a level of equilibrium. Once that was reached, the Euro was at about 1.1-1.3 $ and there it pretty much stayed - until Iraq and trillions spent that the US didn't have.

As for Britain, none of the Euro constraints apply. Britain is not a Euro country - they still have the British Pound. So, Britain could go ahead and print 3 trillion pounds which would drive the value of the currency down substantially - except for one little glitch. The British Pound is pegged to the Euro at a certain rate and not allowed to fluctuate very much against the Euro. If Britain were to simply ignore that agreement they have, they would lose all the EU kickbacks they get which is something they won't jeopardize.

Overall though, no Euro country is allowed to let it get out of control.

According to our scandal sheet, this morning, greece announced they are seriously considering dropping out of the euro and going back to the drachma. At that point the treaty will amount to nothing, and they can do whatever they please.
