A few years ago they were having an election in France and a lot of the voters wanted to borrow Obama, now that we didn’t need him anymore. God spared them that.
Actually, I re-posted this essay because the comments by Marlene and Unknowable are so well worth reading, and instructive. But then I always get a lot out of my readers’ comments.
Apparently the French people don’t care about foreigners running their country. Americans, on the other hand, just don’t seem to care enough to prevent them. PS: I, too, thoroughly enjoy reading Unknowable’s intelligent, succinct, and well-written comments. It kinds of makes him (?) Knowable. (And thanks for the compliment.)
I am not authorized to reveal anything more about his identity, beyond what you can deduce from the pronoun.
Uh-oh. I wouldn’t go near pronoun territory these days.
Obama has been out of a job for a few years, where are the French now?
You have just won the comment contest.
I read today that 65% of the French think their country will not survive. Sounds like the fall of Rome all over again.
