According to data published in the French media, exit polls show he won 52 % of the votes, while former President Nicolas Sarkozy won 48 %.

About 46 million voters were invited to vote to elect the seventh president of French Republic, which will  lead the country in the next five years.
The two candidates voted on Sunday morning, Holland in his constituency in Tulleu in rural Correzeu Department, at the center of the country, and Sarkozy in Paris XVI arrondissement.

Analysts point out that Holland won the election primarily because of the overall situation around the eurozone, growing crisis and discontent of French workers.

Hollande will be the first socialist president since 1995. year after François Mitterrand.

The new French president will take office before 17 of 5 May. He will participate in international conferences, G8, NATO and the EU right after that.

Former president congratulated Holande on his victory.

Nicolas Sarkozy is unpopular among French because they resent him record unemployment and lack of initiatives and reforms that would lead the country out of the crisis.

Hollande is a seasoned politician and was a deputy in parliament, but many resent the fact that he was never in any other position in government.

He joined Socialist Party in 1979. He was an economic assistant to the President Mitterrand. 

In 1997 he inherited Lionel Jospin at the head of the Socialists, and retired from that position in 2008.

The main slogan for his campaign was : “The change, it is now”

He pledged that if elected, he will cut state salary for one third and would abolish presidential immunity.
He announced that he’ll fight against corruption, increase taxes for the wealthy and increase social benefits.
He promised that he would protect the France global capital markets.

He was born on 12 of June 1954. in Ruan in the north of France as a son of doctor and social worker.

He was  educated in law school, the elite College of Administrative Affairs and the Institute for Political Science in Paris.

He was elected for the Socialist presidential candidate when the previous favorite, Dominique Strauss-Kahn chief of the International Monetary Fund,  was arrested for sexual scandals in the United States and was completely discredited.

In 1978. year during the study, Olland met Ségolène Roajal, with whom he lived 30 years and got four children.

Roajal was the main counterpart to Sarkozy in the presidential elections in 2007. year.
Oland and Roajal got divorced after her defeat in the second round and since then he has been in connection with the reporter Valérie Trierweiler.

I believe the documentary regarding the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict (entitled “Promises”) was amazing and one of a kind because it showed how children as young as 12-14 are able to think maturely which is very unusual because in cases related to politics or conflicts within the state, the perspectives of the adults or professionals are the ones usually asked for. I compared myself to those children in the documentary and I was surprised because when I was as young as them, I wasn’t aware of neither politics nor whatsoever issues or conflicts can be found in the Philippines, I wasn’t aware of the real situation of my country and the people around me or what people think of me as a Filipino. All I wanted to do was play with my friends, be with my friends, and do my school requirements. I was always busy playing and thinking what I wanted to be when I grow up, what course I will take and where. It’s very incredible how those young children were very sensitive, aware and open minded of their situation and the situation of their country.

However, I still found it heartbreaking realizing that the checkpoints hinder those children to know each other and be friends with each other, as said by B.Z. “They live no more than 20 minutes from each other, but they are each growing up in very separate worlds.” Also, as young as their age, they can already see the harsh reality of the world where some of them saw how their innocent friends/loved ones were killed, they were deprived from their childhood. And it’s sad because just like one of them believed, their friendship might be forgotten as that day was just temporary and the checkpoints are still there.

I was really touched deeply when from being distrustful about the others and being bitter, such attitudes changed the moment the Jews and Arab children met. With such meeting, I saw that these kids were still kids as I saw them play just like any ordinary children. I believe there was hope in them which was the very opposite of what I am thinking. It’s such a disgrace that while I am not experiencing what those children were experiencing, I am very pessimistic about their situation but it’s very unbelievable that despite of all the despair, those children were so hopeful and were looking at the brighter side of the world that peace can be achieved in their country.

The documentary has taught me a lot. I believe I am still lucky for having a better life. It’s a shame how I can’t see that there are people going through/having worse and difficult lives than what I have. I just hope I can do something in the near future to open the minds and hearts of not just the Israelis and Arabs but everyone and so to help peace be achieved in Israel.

“When I see them being killed, I ask myself, “why?”  It’s so stupid.  It could be prevented.  In war, both sides suffer.  Maybe there’s a “winner”, but what’s a winner?  People on both sides die.  Both sides lose.”—Daniel

Japanese people more easily in the association, and not hard to do something, because they have principles that they must obey.

The Japanese are holding the principle, because they still keep a promise of something.

In fact, Japanese people on time, so the principle of keeping promises, and timely to provide a high level of discipline.

This principle is owned by Japanese people, and is used in everyday life so that their work can be done well.

In the field of industry and commerce, they use these principles as a basis for advancing their economic sector.

Japanese people work in earnest, and they work hard, and unyielding spirit.

Japanese legend, Zatoichi is always well prepared anything, and do not want a bit forgotten, even pay attention to people with a variety of efforts, so it can move quickly Zatoichi.

Zatoichi, finally wounded, and killed as a result failed to defend themselves from enemy attacks. Because the enemy does not move, and are in a static state.

Every year people make resolutions to stop doing things like smoking or drinking.  Others vow to exercise more and eat less.  And many people promise to fix certain parts of their lives they are not happy with.  For some their resolution is simply a wish list, while for others it is a goal they plan on reaching.  

Thankfully for me I do not smoke and barely ever drink alcohol.  I do however like my “junk food” and don’t get enough exercise so if I do make a resolution it will probably be to take better care of myself.  What about you? Is there something in your life you want to change for the better?  What would you like to see different in your life happening in the new year?  What’s your New Years Resolution?

because we aren’t promised tomorrow will be won

In fact this life is so fragile we never know ahead

if the time is on our side or if we’ll make it out of bed

the next day could prove to be an eye opener or not

reason for whispering a prayer before laying on a cot

as we fall into sleep where we dream about awakening

to another day filled with dreams that are breath taking

away with our lives we take advantage of many things

especially those people who are close to us that brings

joy and happiness which abounds like the miracle of birth

a once and a lifetime event so precious that it’s so worth

the pain comes from the pleasure which began in the mind

can’t be revisited as it was the first time that seemed unkind.

It’s best to journey through life making every minute count

without any hesitation so we can get the memories to mount.

I than thought about all the things I ever promised to my own daughter. I feel like a proud Mommy right now. I never ever broke a promise to my child. I think it is one of the best things I could say about myself. I believe we as people should be honest about what we can and can’t do. I am poor in every way that counts. I have given my daughter all I could ever give in life. So,today I hope while your reading this you can say the same.  

We have to be responsible in every way with our kids. It’s not about giving all the time but about honesty. Don’t say your going to take the kids to the park when you know you want to go smoke and hang out. It makes you a liar and untrustworthy to others. Your kids should be able to trust everything you say to them. 

As we wait for tonight’s speech on jobs in America by president Obama, the world sits on edge. Will it be a success, with the right answers or is it going to be more promises that never become more than a good story? The president has made promises before regarding the job outlook in this country and very little has improved. Instead, the country continues to sink further in debt and jobs continue to disappear.

The American people have a solution regarding the job problems. Bring jobs back to American soil! It is that simple. There are many ways to entice businesses back to America and provide them with benefits for hiring Americans. Tax credits and incentives, lease free land, company insurance, employee credits and more. But none of these options seem to be a part of the plan.

The American’s Job Act may include tax credits for large businesses, but it is not clear if the business has to work out of this country or if they can continue to outsource overseas. There will be tax cuts for Americans, but it is not enough to save homes and if you are out of work, the tax cut will not help. There is talk of creating a global banking system, but that helps governments, not individual workers.

With all the information and misinformation, no one is really sure what is going to happen. So far, he has tried to have the debt ceiling raised in order to keep our highest credit rating, but that is not the answer. Everyone else is told to pay their bills and get their income to debt ratio under control. The government should be trying to do the same thing.

Limit the amount and time of welfare in every state. Right now is a hard time for such a law, but it must start somewhere. Pass a law that every person that is collecting a welfare check should have to take a drug test every week. Yes, a drug test! The reason is that welfare money is supposed to be for the support of family and children, not pleasure items like drugs, movies, designer labels and cigarettes.

Encourage education and specialized training. It can begin in high school with office administration, construction, web design, business administration and other jobs available in every day life. Teach about e businesses and how to begin one. All the information from your local small business administration and how to help the community become a money making project.

We will all watch the speech to congress, but no one is really expecting real solution on the basic level. It will be offers of information to help the government, not citizens.

A little over three years in, Obama’s presidency has been a turbulent affair, and that might be the understatement of the new century. While there hasn’t been any single scandal on the same scale as Tea Pot Dome or Watergate, and Mr. Obama presumably hasn’t been getting his winky whacked in the Oval Office by any unpaid interns, Republicans (and some Democrats) would be quick to point out that under his administration the federal deficit has ballooned to its highest level in history due to reckless spending on costly stimulus packages and bailouts and quantitative easing measures; foreign governments now own a higher percentage of our debt than ever; entitlement spending, the third rail which all politicians are loathe to address due to the strong potential for political backlash, has remained untouched in all the proposed budget cuts, which should be considered tantamount to putting a bandaid on a gangrenous, diseased limb; and the worst of both parties’ major tax proposals were enacted into law, allowing the rich and middle class to accumulate more wealth while neglecting the funding for programs that benefit the lower class.

For all its aches and pains, some good has come from Mr. Obama’s time in office. For one, the intensity of political warfare has turned itself down a few notches. Republicans willfully sat next to Democrats in a rare show of bipartisanship at the State of the Union (and while this can be directly attributed to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ attempted assassination, rather than Mr. Obama himself, it certainly bodes well for both parties and can do nothing but help the president attain his goals). Active combat in Iraq is coming to a close, freeing up a large and controversial wedge of the federal budget pie chart for more virtuous endeavors. The framework for a universal healthcare system is now in place, even if it is far from functional or efficient in its current form, and its failure in the short term would be attributed only to the Republican opposition. A new agency has been formed to oversee the complex world of derivatives and other “new” financial instruments in an effort to prevent the unlawful and unethical packaging of toxic assets that ultimately caused the financial crisis.

Yet, despite these positive steps, a large portion of Democrats still are disappointed with their once-beloved candidate due to his failure to follow through on some of his most important campaign promises, most notably the demise of the public option and the closure of Guantanamo Bay. However, disillusioned Democrats need to understand the nature of the political beast in order to understand these failures.

First, when Obamacare was passed, millions balked at how Mr. Obama “dropped the ball” on the public option. Advocates of the option believe that a government-sponsored plan would have enough clout to lower market prices and make the system cheaper and more competitive, which, in theory, would address the ballooning cost of Medicare. Opponents believe that the government has no right to enter the marketplace as a competitor, and that the most efficient healthcare program is one that facilitates the most widespread and inclusive competition possible through interstate insurance exchanges. (Rep. Ron Paul, a strict adherent to free market economics, once sponsored a bill that would prevent the federal government from operating state-owned enterprises in direct competition with the private sector; while the bill went where all unnoticed bills go to die, this is a good illustration of the free market principles that are seen as incompatible with the public option).

The option was lost because of a compromise inside the Democratic Party. The fact of the matter is that there were many democrats who would vote down the bill if it was left in, and far fewer who would vote it down if it left out. In the end, the bill won by a margin of five votes (with one Republican, surprisingly, from Lousiana). If the bill hadn’t compromised on what the majority of Democrats saw as a superfluous mandate, it wouldn’t have passed at all.

The poster child for broken promises among fans of human rights, however, is unequivocally Guantanamo Bay. The President began the process of closing Gitmo almost immediately after he assumed office, but he soon ran into several setbacks. First, after he issued the executive order to have the prison closed within a year, it was discovered that many of the inmates didn’t have certain documents in their files essential to their defense and prosecution, and the procurement of these documents would take months. Second, the reality is that these prisoners would need to be transferred to the mainland, and while the majority of Americans support the closing of the prison, nobody wants these people anywhere near them. The governor of every prospective state to which the President has tried to transfer them has vehemently opposed the prospect of housing war criminals in their jurisdiction. Third, Congress has blocked funding several times for the transfer of any Gitmo prisoners inside American borders because it believes the prison serves an indispensable purpose–to prevent the detainees from being treated with the rights of normal citizens or war criminals, a view that has become quite contentious. The political hurdles for the President have thus far been insurmountable, but certainly it is not from any lack of effort on his part.

To blame the president for at least these unkept promises is not only unfair, but it reveals ignorance of our political system. Indeed, if the president were able to accomplish everything he wanted without a system of checks and balances from those with opposing viewpoints, we would have far more serious problems than Guantanamo Bay. In any case, it is clear that the original Obamacare bill will not remain intact; Republicans have displayed earnest perseverance when it comes to opposing “socialized” medicine (or socialized anything, for that matter), but eventually there will be some kind of middle ground reached. Social Security was passed on partisan lines, but it ascended into political sacrosanctity, and very few politicians are willing to touch the program nowadays (though it will be necessary to implement new expenditure rules in the near future; the debt ceiling bill made sure of that one). Similarly, Gitmo will see its demise in due time. Once all of the current detainees are tried we will be well on our way out of Afghanistan, if not out altogether, and there will be less of a necessity to keep so-called “enemy combatants” without a war to justify doing so.
