French Voters Call On Obama To Run For President To "Give French People Hope"

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Zero Hedge:

As French voters look set to make a massive swing to the right in their upcoming presidential election (see our notes on the topic here and here), a group of frightened liberal protesters have decided to back a relatively surprising, if impossible, presidential candidate in 2017, Barack Obama.

 

And, lest you think this is a joke, a quick walk around Paris even reveals campaign posters for "Obama17" plastered all around the city.

 

The group of protesters who launched the effort to bring "hope and change" to France are urging French citizens to visit their website to sign a petition to convince Obama to enter the race. They figure that 1 million signatures should do the trick.

 

Meanwhile, asked why they support Obama, protesters told ABC News they're looking for a candidate they "really admire" and "someone who could lead us to project ourselves in a bright future to give French people hope."
