At the risk of repeating myself, Hollande also eats at fancy restaurants with rich entrepreneurs (bergé, pigasse, etc...).
He also eats at these restaurants at key moments of the election (1st round of this election).

Arguing that it's totally OK to do that the night of the first round, and not OK at all to do it on the night of the second round is pretty laughable.

And is an example of + Show Spoiler + that happened during this election.

I was not saying it was ok to do that on the night of the first round and not ok to do it on the night of the second. I'm not saying it's not ok for either - in fact, I already told you I didn't care about the money of the candidates.

My point, which you just tried to straw man into an opinion, was that Hollande was not the president-elect on the night of the first round. He is the president-elect since yesterday. The media only paid attention to Sarkozy's dinner at the Fouquet's because it happened on the night he became president-elect. Since Hollande DID NOT go eat at the Fouquet's yesterday night, your "double standards" accusation does not stand.

No you didn't.

Media reacting for one and not for the other is a clear double standard.

Yes I did, and I just did again.

Yeah taking a private jet when you said you'd be a "normal man" that takes the train is quite a symbol, I agree.



I believe this was completely justified in these circumstances.

On the other hand, "Air Sarko One" isn't.
Or maybe Hollande should've taken the train, he would've maybe been in Bastille in time for breakfast.

Or maybe he shouldn't have made stupid promises he would never be able to keep.

Who knows ? It's one of these two at least.

You do understand he can't possibly have broken any promises he made about his actions as president since he isn't president yet, right?

He never promised to avoid all aircraft, no matter the situation. This would be bad in case of a war.

He simply said he wouldn't go to the supermarket in Airbus, like his predecessor.

As said earlier, it's a tradition. And a strong symbol of his attachement to the people of France and his "homeland" of Corrèze.

Hm, I see trying to back up your ridiculous statements is getting tiring, good job resorting to sarcasm instead! This way surely nobody will notice your double standards argument has been completely debunked! :-)

Sarkozy wasn't president at the time of the Fouquet's either. There, settled ?

I never said he was. He was president-elect, like I said and like Hollande was NOT on the night of the first round.

Just leave it, Geiko. Sarkosy lost and the reasons are numerous. Maybe Hollande will be worse than him but I doubt it. Nevertheless you are nitpicking on details (president, not-president), misinterpreting points and overall you try to pass yourself like a total virgin who is pure and fresh.

I'm not going to say what I think of you again but I suggest you try to focus on yourself and realize your point of view isn't always the best.

PS : The talk about the prépa is just a jest from me. I left this despicable environment some years ago, and you are the archetype of what I find disgusting in prépa.

Ok now you bring Mitterand back. Should I bring back De Gaulle because he almost killed my mother during mai 68 ? Dead people are better left alone.

Also it's very funny to see your talk about poor people, aren't you in a prépa ? Is that your definition of poor ? Be reminded that people who elected Hollande were mostly living in the cities, the rural world voted for Sarkosy and needless to say most of them are uneducated and xenophobic. In the suburds, Hollande has more than 60%, among workers even more. Don't try to pass yourself off as the defenders of the poor, you aren't and Sarkosy certainly wasn't too.

This post is so fucking dumb lmao.

Geiko, you need to get over it. Lefties can't understand the hypocrisy of the PS. That's why people like Dray, Guérini and DSK are so awesome because they are FEEDING on them and they put the double standards, the lies and all the bs IN THEIR FACE.

Yes, I'm actually going to need you to provide me with the quote from when he said he would not use private jets AS PRESIDENT-ELECT. Be my guest.

Here's me spelling the argument out the other argument for you, since you are desperately trying to tie the two:

The night of the second round, as they have just been elected president:
- Sarkozy goes to eat at Fouquet's
- Hollande does not go to eat at Fouquet's (or any other expensive restaurant)

Am I saying that I think it was right to criticize Sarkozy for eating at Fouquet's? No, like I told you I think such criticisms are ridiculous. The double-standard that you denounce, however, would have required Hollande to go eat at Fouquet's (or any other expensive restaurant) and the press not to talk about it. Since he did NOT eat in any expensive restaurant after becoming president-elect, your argument of double-standard has no basis in reality.

Don't forget the sarcasm, it's supposed to prevent us from noticing you have no valid arguments before you leave.

Oh I understand very well what PS politicians are. But Is Jean Tibéri any better though ? Is Brice Hortefeux any better ? Isn't the UMP lying too ?

I don't bring up every dirty secrets of the UMP each time I argument because that's pointless. The past is done and we have to move one with someone who hasn't messed up big time yet (i.e. not Sarkosy).

You want to stay in denial and attack the party for things of the past that doesn't matter right now (like Mitterand) fine, go ahead. You are making a fool of yourself, not me.
