The next Frenchman to flee high taxes is...Nicolas Sarkozy?

I can't blame anyone who leaves France. 

Via The Daily Mail:

Nicolas Sarkozy is preparing to move to London to set up a billion pounds plus investment fund, it was claimed today.

If the move goes ahead, the controversial Frenchman will become the latest to escape a potential top tax rate of 75 per cent in his home country. 

He and his former supermodel third wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy would be likely to settle in an affluent district like South Kensington – so becoming the most high profile Gallic celebrity couple in the city. 

But the former president is under investigation for corruption in France, and if he does cross the Channel there will be outrage.

Hot Mic Moment: Obama and Sarkozy caught badmouthing Netanyahu

They both want Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to surrender Israel to the Palestinians, but he is having no part of it.

(Ynet) — French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly told US President Barack Obama that he could not “stand” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he thinks the Israeli premier “is a liar.”

According to a Monday report in the French website “Arret sur Images,” after facing reporters for a G20 press conference on Thursday, the two presidents retired to a private room, to further discuss the matters of the day.

The conversation apparently began with President Obama criticizing Sarkozy for not having warned him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinian membership bid in UNESCO despite Washington’s strong objection to the move.

The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: “I cannot stand him. He is a liar.” According to the report, Obama replied: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders’ microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

The communication faux pas went unnoticed for several minutes, during which the conversation between the two heads of state — which quickly reverted to other matters — was all but open to members the press, who were still in possession of headsets provided by the Elysée for the sake of simultaneous translation during the G20 press conference.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy: Obama Might be Insane

Some Americans have been wondering the same thing. Obama's single-minded determination to press his socialist agenda, even if the American people are opposed and the Democratic Party is destroyed, is enough to make anyone wonder if he is sane. President Obama's unwavering belief that he is the only one who knows what is right wavers on the fanatical.

The European Union Times reported:

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today authored by France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) and recently “obtained” by the FSB shockingly quotes French President Nicolas Sarkozy as stating that President Barack Obama is “a dangerous[ly] aliéné”, which translates into his, Obama, being a “mad lunatic”, or in the American vernacular, “insane”.
