France’s Socialist President Hollande Asked Who He Supports in U.S. Election: ‘Who Do You Think?’

French Socialist President Francois Hollande Asked Who He Supports in U.S. Election

France’s socialist President Francois Hollande refused to officially endorse a U.S. presidential candidate at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, but he didn’t pass on an opportunity to jab at Mitt Romney.

According to an AFP report, when the socialist leader was asked by a reporter whether he would support Democratic incumbent Barack Obama or his GOP opponent Romney, he said with a smile, “Who do you think?”

The answer seems pretty obvious, but Hollande went on to clarify anyway.

“Are you aware that Mitt Romney never ceases to attack socialist Europe at his campaign rallies?” Hollande remarked.

“Yes, that’s why I’ll be careful not to say anything at all on this subject because, as you’d imagine, if a socialist supported one of these two candidates, that could cost him dear,” he said.

He then cleverly quipped, “So I suppose I should endorse Mitt Romney…But I won’t.”

In other words, Hollande seemingly joked he should endorse Romney so that it would harm his chances at winning the election, resulting in a win for Obama.

More reason to vote for MITT. The Frenchman is scared that he is going to lose himself when the French Revolt. Love you MITT and Ryan.

  Yes, Dolores……. and another reason to close the UN! Maybe that gun with the twisted barrell on the UN’s grounds should be shoved up Hollande’s arse, or mouth.

Well, it shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise, seen as statistics show around 92% of France wants to see Obama re-elected: http://www.statista.com/statistics/233054/global-opinion-on-obamas-re-election/

Hollande got way more. The open arms were there but just realized not open but palm in push back or stop position after the frogs came to their senses. As I said before “France is a flop”.

  Hi MONK, LOL, that sounds about right. Good when prepared correctly. But, I’ve known a few who could wreck the sauce.
  I thought that France learned after 12 years of Jacques Chirac. Hollande is doubling down on everything Chirac ever thought of though.

This world is full of stupid politicians. When will they realize that spending more than they take in and punishing the most productive citizens with more taxes will soon cause the world economy to fail? It only works when everyone works and gives into the treasury. We are in for some really bad times. A total reset is needed. Better get out of the big cities right away and get self sufficient.

  I will have to speak in support of our colleague Soybomb. This person does see reality. He/She is not the usual RP zealot. This is a thinking person. While I do not agree with all of his/her posts, I do see that they are thought out positions and worthy of our respect. If you want to denigrate someone, start with a real enemy, not a potential ally who is capable of critical thinking.

  Can’t answer that, it’s not PC! Instead the water in the toilet bowl will flush the French turd down the sewer soon because they once again don’t have the huevos to do what is right to save themselves. Au revoir Frenchy!

Does anyone care what this socialist POS thinks about who should run our country? If France fell off the face of the earth I really don’t think I’d care. In fact I might ask them to take California and New York with them.
