You are the eternal France, I love you.

Francois Hollande is an intelligent man. I do not have a problem with him. The only thing is, he has never held office at the state level. Honestly, can you imagine Francois Hollande as president of France? Imagine it!

I want to wage war against illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, unfair competition, communitarianism, delinquency.

Laissez-faire is finished. The all-powerful market that always knows best is finished.

The French people have chosen change. This change I will put into place.

I hope that France - and all of Europe - we would take an initiative for the year 2012 to be the year of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

France must not be the only country to have a high level of welfare protection and few obligations incumbent on those who receive benefits.
