The French have a new president, the British will soon have a new P.M., and we envy them as we endure the endless wait for this small dim man to go back to Texas and resume his life.

About This Quote

The French president Nicolas Sarkozy was elected on May 6th, 2007. However, he will not be taking office until May 15th, meaning that the new French president will not be taking office until May 18th. The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was elected on May 2nd, 2007 and will not take office until June 1st. This is the case with many of the presidents and prime ministers we have today. They took office in January or February and we wait long months and months for their term to end so we can start all over again with new leaders.
