Title: Can Obama learn something from the French?
Post by: Ichiban on August 27, 2010, 11:38:19 AM
If Obummer wants us to be more like Europe then I think this might be a good place to start taking notes.
Who'da thunk the French would have the cajones to do anything like this?

U.N. rights body rebukes France for mistreating Roma

GENEVA, Aug 27 (Reuters) - A United Nations human rights body rebuked France on Friday for its crackdown on Roma and urged the government to try to integrate members of the EU's biggest ethnic minority as part of a Europe-wide solution.

The 18 independent experts voiced concern that some of the hundreds of Roma flown to Romania in recent weeks under what France calls a voluntary repatriation programme had not been fully informed of their rights or had not freely consented to returning to their homeland.

I think these are the modern day Gypsies,FQ can clarify that most likely.
The Gypsies have been traditionally crapped on, They were consider as bad as Jew's, for much the same reason, as wanderers, with their own culture, they were always "Outsiders".
An example is a joke around here, "Oh, he's not from here, he was born in Mass."

From every indication, Odamna can't learn anything from anyone. >:(

The one thing I would hope BHO would learn from the French, is to know when to throw your hands up, run and surrender.

But alas,... :-\

Sarcozy already told him to MTFU.
The French tell him to grow a spine, and the Red Chinese tell him he needs to privatize more of the economy ?  WTF ?

I'll respect the French immigration position when they start shipping the Algerians back. The Rom (gypsies), they are just crooks at worst. They don't blow anyone up or want Sharia. Them I would live with. Its the muslims I would deport.

Actually they do have a spine. It just doesn't make the news here. Those boys play rough in Africa, and the DGSE does things the CIA only dreams about. Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior anyone? ;D

But their ego always sinks them. Under estimating the Australian reaction is why the French team got caught.

The foreign legion is the only spine that the french have and they are not french.
