France’s ‘Pink Tide’Posted on Mar 13, 2010
French voters are turning against the right-wing policies of President Nicolas Sarkozy in what many are calling the “pink tide,” a leftward shift in French politics that is putting Socialists and Greens in many legislative seats around the country. The term pink tide was initially used to describe the increasing power of leftists in Latin America over the past decade, and is now being applied to France. —JCL

The real “Pink Tide” is in South America. French Socialists are very similar to the kind of watered-down socialist politicians in Greece and Germany, they say nice things and don’t do much, like American Liberals.

In my unending attempt to point out the difference between right and left, I’ll point out that Sarkozy’s right, and Obama’s left are very similar. That’s because France is to the left of the U.S., which explains why the right in the U.S. dislikes everything French.
The only real philosophical difference between Obama and Sarkozy, is that Obama is much more conservative when it comes to choosing a woman (Better descibed as a “Ho,” in Sarkozy’s case.)

“—the combined force of the Socialists and the Europe Ecologie (EE) party…” Note the crucial word “combined”. Where are we on a scale of 1 to 10?
