SARKOZY'S CREDIBILITY CLIMBS HIGHER


FINALLY! French President Nicolas Sarkozy is rising to the occasion and gaining some serious credibility as a leader with his EU-concerted effort to deal with the 2008 financial crisis.

Yes, Sarkozy -- do the job you were elected to do. We are not interested in how loving the relationship is with your new wife Carla Bruni is. (Or how hot Carla Bruni really is! She just is!)

I, like the rest of the world, was utterly disgusted by the lie Sarkozy told the electorate just to secure his election results (i.e. Sarkozy and his ex-wife Cecilia pretending their marriage was good when it was actually over during his final election push that successfully landed him the French Presidency).

Politicians need to know that the public are not really interested in their sexual escapades and carnal shenanigans -- the electorate only wants to know that politicians will do a good job serving the people.

Luckily, Sarkozy has left Carla Bruni behind as he goes about busily dealing with the financial crisis and dealing with fellow EU politicians as he should be!

FROM ZERO TO HERO... GORDON BROWN THE SUPER TECHNOCRAT!


It is interesting to see British Prime Minister Gordon Brown rise to the occasion as the global financial markets crumble under the weight of human greed and misguide drive to profit blindly.

Gordon Brown's method of nationalizing the banks in UK has been widely applauded and even the United States -- very, very reluctantly (shame on you for being so obnoxious Paulson!) and potentially bringing a greater sense of transparanecy and accountability into the world of banking is to be admired.

The present global crisis has saved Gordon Brown's career and he is shining in his role as a leader. All his experience from being the chancellor of the exchequer in the past is coming to the service on UK brilliantly and the world is able to see what a fine and brilliant technocrat Gordon Brown truly is.
