PRESIDENT HOLLANDE IS NORMAL BUT UNDECIDED !!!


The whole of France is closely watching every step of François Hollande to decipher what he intends to do !!!

During his election campaign Hollande crucified President Sarkozy because he did not deliver on his promises after his election in 2007 !!!  In fact months after his election Sarkozy was faced with the Euro crisis.

President Hollande made "60 election promises" and now is expected to deliver !!!  Of course he inherited a "rotten situation", and at a time when the EURO was still the major problem in Europe !!!  This he knew in advance but he declared that he was a "normal" President !!!

Alas, what the French were hoping for was "an exceptional" President !!!  Someone who would take the bull by the horns and who would lead by his example:  someone who would activate decisively !!!

This is not what French electors have seen.  He wants to introduce measures which correspond with his election promises, but these are slow coming and few.

For example, Holland promised to contol the price of petrol !!!  What he has done reduces prices by six centimes a litre !!!  To be precise, if you fill your tank with 40 litres you save 2 euros 40 !!!  Motorists are more than disappointed !!!

He has of course taken steps to tax the rich !!!  This is very popular, only creates more poor and dampens individual initiatives !!!

The reality is that Hollande has never held a ministerial post !!!  He was secretary of the French Socialist party for 11 years until 2008, when Martine Aubry took over.  He became a Candidate for the Socialist Presidential run-off in October 2011 and beat Martine Aubry !!!    

The Opinion Polls in France reveal a complete disenchantment of the electorate with what Hollande has achieved after almost four months as President !!!

The slogan of his campaign was "The Change is for now".  French electors are asking "when" is "now"  ?
