Bling Bling President

Today I want to tell about a phenomenum happening on the other side of the Rhine, because our beloved french neighbours have a new title for their president: Bling Bling president. The allusion is made to the jewelry usually worn by Hip-Hop stars and wannabe-stars :D

All opposition sand independant journals and media agree on using this term, which has somehow imposed itself in France. Liberation delivers in this article a very good analysis of the aspects of the president that are worth calling bling bling. Sarkozy travels de luxe, has douled his salary, has vacations on a luxus yacht while he just became president and should rather take care of a nation in crisis, sarkozy loves luxus jewelry, high-class dinners, loves to have hot ex-model singers as girl-friends (carla Bruni) and is ready to take on any fishe who insults him in a real man's fight. This completely cuts with the normal classy behavious of french diplomacy representatives. Think of Jacques Chirac, Valerie Giscard D'estaing or Mitterand.

Our british neighbours didn't miss the bizarre behavior of sarkozy and so do the americans. Of course are the germans not on the bank. As a conclusion this funny video gathers the caricatures made about the new bling bling habitudes sarkozy. I really hope the french will get conscious about what is really good for them and carefully choose their political leaders.
