Oh Boy! Another Conservative Leader

oo

I know my French friend Violaine is upset this morning. Sorry, Violaine. She did not want Sarkozy to win the election. He is another one of those conservatives who will bully his way through his presidency. A child of immigrants who is anti-immigrant. Go figure. It will be interesting to return to France this summer and to check out the mood.
Though the choice of prez is not to my liking, I have to say that the 70% voter rate in this run-off election puts American voters to shame. Pardon me for asking, but could it be that voting takes place on a Sunday and is made easy compared to the U.S. where people have to find time on an already impossibly busy workday!
