DSK HAS BESMIRCHED FRANCE

Politicians above all, but also commentators in the press, on the radio and TV, have lamented the fact that the reputation of France has been sullied by the sexual scandal surrounding DSK, the French socialist who is the current Director of the INERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF). Is this right ?

DSK is not FRANCE, and the reputation of FRANCE cannot be sullied by the actions of just one citizen, however renowned he may be !!!  The reputation of FRANCE is tarnished more often by its Politicians and their friends who look for excuses when one of them gets tangled up in political problems or criminal procedures abroad which are stricter and more expeditive than those in France !!!  

In spite of what is written above, the aspirations of DSK in the 2012 Presidential Elections seem to have been killed off  !!!  The other hopeful candidates, from the Left, Centre or Right, will not let him get back in !!!  Of course he has the right to stand, but every candidate wants to win.   

Whether Strauss Kahn now has the best credentials, or whether another candidate has the right credentials remains to be seen !!!  In the end it far from clear who the two best candidates could be, after the first round !!!

Will it be President Sarkozy, but against which Socialist, or will it be against the Leader of the National Front ?   This election now promises to become a very palpitant affair !!!  

And there are still 12 months to go !!!
