I hoped that, you know, France wouldn't mind about, you know, the wife of their president to having a job.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once upon a time there was an old country, wrapped up in habit and caution. We have to transform our old France into a new country and marry it to its time.
If George W. Bush is elected president, I'm leaving for France.
My mission is to put France back on its feet. The priority is employment. Efforts have to be made, but those efforts must be made fairly.
I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there, we will be able to put France back on its feet... to live better in five years than we do today.
France is no longer herself when she is folded in on herself, tormented by ignorance and intolerance. The country would plunge into decline if it refused to be itself, if it was afraid of the future, afraid of the world.
My wife speaks very good French. She said she would miss lots of things in the U.S., but we can't live there if Trump's president.
France needs to find something that makes it stand out. It's not enough for it to do almost as well as its neighbors.
It is in order that France may find her place in the new Europe that you will respond to my appeal.
The people have spoken. Their decision is sovereign. We all respect it... I wish good luck to those who will now govern France.
France has more need of me than I have need of France.
