Negative Pricks

""Nicolas Sarkozy marks the end of his first 100 days on Thursday as storm clouds gather over his promised reform programme: a global financial crisis threatens already disappointing economic growth at home; job creation has stalled and the country’s constitutional court has curtailed his election winning promise to give tax breaks to homeowners.
Yet opinion polls show the energetic French president is more popular than ever – not just in his own centre-right UMP party but even among supporters of the opposition.""

If it bleeds it leads and if its anti-American it makes the headline and first paragraph. Granted this is a foreign paper, but I beg of you to answer are our own papers any different?

Liberalism feeds off negativity, feeds and thrives but thankfully does not flourish.

I dont about any of that but I do know that it was only a matter of time before the left turned on the much loved France while they were against us and now not so much despite....

"the energetic French president is more popular than ever"

some left-leaning *foreign* paper doesn't like sarko? surprise!

and how does this implicate the american left, exactly? is there some sort of worldwide leftist bulletin that gets sent out?

and, if i were you, i wouldn't jump on the sarko bandwagon too quickly--a "center-right" party in france looks an awful lot like the mainstream democrat line...

and i assume you know that sarko was a critic of bush AND chirac; he opposed the iraq war and thought chirac handled the disagreement poorly.

The media by and large are anti-American negative pricks. All Im saying.
