Wake up, birthers, there's a foreigner running for President of the United States.

[Johan]

Oh, wait, sorry, he's canadian and he's white so it's OK. What we don't want is a blck president, even if he was born in Hawaï...

 

[Straight Shooter]

Well, it looks like the shoe's on the other foot now. I just find it ironic how they accused Obama of being born in a foreign country and yet that's exactly what happened to Cruz.

 

[Justaman]

I say let him run. He's probably legitimate. Besides, the democrats could run Ronald McDonald for president and he'd beat Cruz. In fact they should run him! That would be awesome and he'd work perfectly with congress since they are all CLOWNS. :clown:

When will Johan start concerning himself with the fucked up country that he resides in instead of worry about everything that happens in the U.S.? Over compensate much? This fucker is always bringing up the fringe element to make his points. We shall now refer to him as Jokehan

Tell the same thing to Georges too then. Both are from France

Yeah I though the same thing. Where does he get this "we" stuff? Does he have some pet Americans at his house that he keeps in a cage or something because the last time I looked, France wasn't included in the American version of "we". Cool video though. How does a new commentator get away with saying "fuck" on the air??

Tell the same thing to Georges too then. Both are from France

Does he use the word "we" in the same context that Johan does? Just askin'.....

 

[Jack Davenport]

Ice you know very well that georges is highly critical of the French government and most of his comments about the U.S. are not bashing every thing that happens here.

I'm very critical about french goverment (thought not as critical as georges whose speeches about the government are filled with hatred and despise) but I don't talk about it her since 99% of you guys wouldn't be able to name our Prime Minister withut using google or without wikipedia, no offense.

Exactly. He bashes only when "ghetto trash" is involved (wich means black and latinos when he refers to the US and" black and arabs" when he refers to France).

Does he use the word "we" in the same context that Johan does? Just askin'.....

It was an impersation of those lunatics...

 

[Jack Davenport]

Poor Johan dying for attention again. I may have to Google Jean Marc whathisface just to make sure I have the spelling correct and to double check because the French go through Prime Ministers like we go through shoes. I may even be able to tell you what year the title was changed from President of the council to PM if you are nice.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

You retards who keep pounding on the topic seem to conveniently forget that Cankles Clinton was the founder of the Birther conspiracy theory.

Not going to lie, I can't name the PM of France. I know the president is Hollande though. But isn't the president more powerful than the PM?

 

[Rattrap]

My guess would be when the US - for better and for worse - stops being a big influence everywhere in the world.

 

[CptHa]

Cruz's situation is similar to Obama's if my understanding is correct. Both had American parents at birth, therefore they are both American. Where they were born is totally irrelevant.

 

[Jack Davenport]

CPTha is correct. Point well taken Rattrap which at this pace should happen sometime around Valentine's Day

 

[Jack Davenport]

Iceman's question to Johan got me to thinking more about Johan's comment that Americans wouldn't know who the French PM is without researching it. Why would he choose what is an appointed cabinet position for the basis of our knowledge about French government heads? Unless he himself confused PM with the office of President. Which would be even more curious lol

 

[Rey C.]

A furriner whose daddy fought alongside that dirty, godless commie, Fidel Castro. My goodness...

 

[sean miguel]

What's a birther? (in other words, why are they relevant or even a topic of discussion?)

McCain was born in Panama.

I was born on a U.S. Air Force base overseas during the height of the Cold War. That makes me more American than all you motherfuckers.

I'm running for president, and just pray I don't win. Cuz the whole lot of you are going to Gitmo.

I said the PM 'cause I know many of you guys know who's the French president, just as every french citizen know the the president of the US is Obama. But very few of you know the name any other member of the french government, just as very few of us know the name of any other member of the US government.
I could have said the Minister of Foreign Affair, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Interior, or even the leader of the UMP (wich is the most important opposition party)...

 

[Jack Davenport]

I find it interesting that many Prime Ministers of France are appointed even though they are at times members of the opposing party of the sitting president. Euen more so considering that Prime Minister seems to be a stepping stone to the French presidency.

The Constitution says that the Prime Minister must be appointed by the president among the deputies and they must vote wether to validate the president's choice or not.
Before 2000 the deputies were elected for 5 years and the president's mandate was for 7 years so, sometimes, the president had to choose a member of the a party different from his 'cause that party had the majority in the Assemblée (it happened twice since 1958 : 1986-1988 and 1997-2002). But since 2000, the president's mandate is of 5 years and the deputies are elected about a month after so the PM is always in the sae party as the president so he's not as important as he used to be. Some people say that there shouldn't be a PM, that PMs are useless. I quite agree.

That 2000' law was a trick played on the people by the politicians it was passed by popular vote (referendum) but they never mentioned the part where the deputies and the president will be choosen almost at the same time, they mostly talked about it as reducing the president's mandate and most people agreed 'cause they thought it would grant them the possibility to cange him within 5 years instead of 7 if they are unhappy with him (and, in 2000, many people were unhappy with the president) but it was a trick 'cause in fact, it removed mid-term elections. so now the government can do whatever he wants for 5 years before having to face, though vote, the consequences of its politics.
