The slogan in French is, “Oui, on peut,” which translates into “Yes, we can.”
Former President Obama is a U.S. citizen, which means he is an ineligible candidate, but that did not stop 42,000 supporters in the country to sign an online petition urging him to run.

And while she hopes to ride a wave of anti-establishment, anti-European Union sentiment to power, numerous critics fear her worldview is racist and dangerous.

ReplyDeleteThen we can go to war with France.
