You Are The Eternal France, I Love

France Now Has A New President And He Must Be Respected. I Assume Full Responsibility For This Defeat.

The French Like Burgers, Madonna And Miami Vice.

Francois Hollande Is An Intelligent Man. I Do Not Have A Problem With Him. The Only Thing Is, He Has Never Held Office At The State Level. Honestly, Can You Imagine Francois Hollande As President Of France? Imagine It!

Perhaps The Mistake I Made At The Start Of My Mandate Is Not Understanding The Symbolic Dimension Of The President's Role And Not Being Solemn Enough In My Acts. A Mistake For Which I Would Like To Apologise Or Explain Myself And Which I Will Not Make Again. Now, I Know The Job.

I Hope That France - And All Of Europe - We Would Take An Initiative For The Year 2012 To Be The Year Of Peace Between Israel And The Palestinians.
