Dr. Brouillon a.k.a. Sarkozy
2008-02-08 01:37:00
please click on his handsLes chefs d'entreprise ou les banquiers qui avaient placé leurs espoirs en Nicolas Sarkozy ne se soucient guère de sa perte de popularité. Ses amis "jet-set", ses goûts clinquants et sa dernière épouse n'auraient que peu d'importance s'il faisait au moins ce qu'on attend de lui : encourager la croissance, redresser les finances publiques et s'attaquer aux réformes dont la France semble être le dernier pays en Europe à ne pas admettre la nécessité.Grosse déception pour ceux qui voient se dérouler ce nouvel opus de "Docteur Jekyll et MisterHyde". On espérait un "Nicolas" libéral et réformateur. Au lieu de quoi, on observe un "Sarkozy" qui déploie tous ses talents d'interventionniste brouillon.http://www.lemonde.fr/economie/ article/2008/02/07/docteur-sarkozy-l-inte rventionniste-brouillon_1008575_3234.html #ens_id=965950brouillon,onne: adj.muddle-headedm rough copyfirst draft.muddle: to mix up in a confused or bungling manner, a confused or disordered sta...

All About Hillary and Snow White
2008-02-06 00:55:00
How much charm is a necessary armor for a vulnerable soul.?She had a more practical view of what people?s motives could be.? To the outside world, Mrs. Clinton seemed variously combative or stoic. But friends said she suffered in private, crying and blaming herself. ?I wish you knew the Hillary I think I know.?? ?That?s essentially her approach. Get dirty, then wash it all off and move on.? I don?t think she has intended to be a harder person. ?Cautious? might be a better word.??It?s not easy, and I don?t think it?s ever been easy? ?the brittle caricature some critics accused me of being.? ?We don?t sit down and have those mother-daughter discussions about how she relates to her husband, her daughter, or anything else as far as her personal life is concerned. We don?t talk about deeply personal things.?

Obama : America's Pink Period
2008-02-05 03:58:00
Obama paints Life as he sees the horizon.So,here d'apres Picasso: Voila,la Vie en Rose.Only dreamers make the world happy.The Rose Period signifies the time when the style of Pablo Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colours in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period. It lasted from 1904 to 1906.[1] Picasso was happy in his relationship with Fernande Olivier whom he had met in 1904 and this has been suggested as one of the possible reasons he changed his style of painting. Harlequins, circus performers and clowns appear frequently in the Rose Period and will populate Picasso's paintings at various stages through the rest of his long career. The harlequin, a comedic character usually depicted in checkered patterned clothing, became a personal symbol for Picasso.The Rose Period has been considered French influenced, while the Blue Period more Spanish influenced, although both styles emerged while Picasso was living in Paris.Picasso's highest se...

The Heated Bill
2008-02-05 01:44:00
If Mrs. Clinton goes on to win the Democratic nomination, you may see her campaign rethink how it uses Mr. Clinton as it appeals to a broader audience.Interpret the song.... Bill , I love you so, I always will. I look at you and you see the passion eyes of May.Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day? (Wedding day)Oh, I was on your side, Bill, when you were losing.I'd never scheme or lie, Bill, there's been no fooling.But kisses and love won't carry me till you marry me, Bill.I love you so, I always will, and in your voice I hear a choir of carousels.Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells?

Which way are we going?I don?t think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction.??What is your place in history???We want to turn the page .It?s like learning Latin ? you have to throw out everything and start over"?If you will lift that boom a second.This is the problem with not having a bus??Let me say I?ve heard that story and there?s not a lot of truth to it?"If I discover there is such an agreement, it?ll be gone in a bird-dog minute.??It took a lot of energy and creativity to get to this point??He?s a friend,? . ?I wish him the very best and I wish the team the very best.?Later, while talking to reporters on his campaign plane?the second day in a row he has ventured back to chat with reporters, after not doing it for weeks? explained he had e-mailed wishing him luck in today?s Super Bowl against the New York Giants, and that he had been kind enough to ping him back.?Things have been getting real ugly around here??He?s not endorsing...

Hillary and Obama: The Dreamer and the Doer
2008-02-03 05:34:00
Feel free to ask last-minute questions.One minute they?re not even speaking. The next thing you know they?re at Thursday?s debate smiling and whispering in each other?s ear. (Use of the word ?agree?: Obama , 7; Clinton, 5.)Political opponents get along well only when one of them has no chance of winning. When the big prize is teetering in the balance, everybody always gets sweaty and aggressive and unlovable. (See: Congress.) So, they don?t talk. Their campaigns have grievance lists longer than the phone book. Barack didn?t shake Hillary ?s hand at the State of the Union address. Accepting the explanation that he didn?t see her is possible only for people who can imagine being at a party and not noticing when the boyfriend who dumped you last week is standing 3 feet away.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/02/op inion/02collins.html?ref=opinion
