I would like to tell you as the president of the republic, I am not embarrassed to listen to the Youth of my country and to respond to them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.
I am faithfully devoted to the Republic but will not serve it at the expense of my conscience and my honor.
The current constitutional law places the president of the republic in an embarrassing situation.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.
Ironically, since Obama was elected, for the first time in my life I'm sometimes not proud of my country.
As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
I thank you for your kind invitation to introduce me to the president of the Republic. Since I have not been out of my atelier for two months, I have no appropriate costume for this circumstance. Please excuse me.
I am the president of the youth of France.
