In France, a group of enthusiasts organized the collection of signatures to nominate a candidate for the French presidency Barack Obama. Already collected 40,000 signatures. The organizers plan to collect 1,000,000 signatures. The reaction of Barack Obama are not yet known. What do you think about this?

Citizens want Obama to become president of France was caused by dissatisfaction of citizens in the candidate ahead in the French presidential election this time. We also do not know what kind of response from Obama, maybe we should see how the response to this news. But I'm sure Obama will not immediately want, there will be a lot of consideration. If indeed Obama wants to be President of France it will not be easy. There will be a lot of requirements and require a long process so that Obama could be a candidate for President of France, it was not enough to see the elections will be held soon.

What a complete and utter joke. These people just get more and more sad.

In any case, even if it is a joke, it will show the French people's attitude to existing candidates. In General, after voting for Trump I would not be surprised by any result. And who knows as to the legal issues? The President of America can not become a man not born in America. And as in France?

First of all president must be citizen of France, and secondly it must speak and write French language. Obama is citizen of USA and know English, so he most possible can not be citizen of France so easy.

And if we assume that he will take a second citizenship? Is this possible? Maybe he knows the French language. His ancestors are from Africa, and there are many people know French. Theoretically it would be fun.

Thanks. I think the point is that this is an act of protest among some French people because they're not happy with their current options. Sound familiar? The US did this same move, one better than France, by nominating someone who actually is a US citizen - Gary Johnson - to run for office...but look how great that turned out.

Is that correct?
I have not heard anything about it.
Please post a link to a source where that was published.

I also heard about it on TV. Therefore the link can not throw. I think 4 of the Frenchman drank beer and joked in this way. Then they thought that it is not a bad idea and decided to bring it to life. Even if it does not, they want to show how many Frenchmen do not support any of the candidates.

How can Obama be the president of france when he doesn't even speak French fluently. I would think that the french people would like to be spoken to in their native language.

Who give a shit about France anyways. They have good food. the end.

But usually a US American citizen can not become president of France.
Besides, most French politicians are an elitist clique. And I don't think Obama was on the ENA.

But the idea is funny  :D

Barack Obama destroyed the American economy. He increased the federal debt by more than 100% and now the debt is even more than the GDP. I don't understand why the French people want such a person as their president.

It's probably the Russians hacking the French election now to help end the European Union.

(NB I do not believe the Russians hacked the American election and the above is intended as humour)

Two of the three leading contenders (François Fillon and Marine Le Pen) now in the French presidential election are pro-Russia. Only the candidate of the En Marche! party (Emmanuel Macron) is a Russophobe.

I don't think so. The departure of American industry and economy in general has already begun before Barak Obama.

The news made me smile but not because I hope this will ever be materialised. It's a protest and nothing more than that, a nice gimmick to get some attention come election time. Other than that, anyone thinking this could and should happen is disqualified from any serious debate, as far as I'm concerned.

i think imposible, if obama can candidate france president,
because obama USA people not france people

Perhaps that is true. But his actions resulted in even more harm. A large part of the American federal debt can be directly attributed to two of Obama's failed policies - Obamacare and bank bailout.

First the French would need to know his name; it's not "Obamá", it's "Ôbamâ".  ;D
I love those guys, they read everything on their own language fashion! They've places named "Franklan Rusvél" and the grave of "Jim Morrissón"...  ;D
Just the poor Vladimir Putin they had to adjust to "Poutine" or they would read a curse word on their language.  ;D

EDIT: Talking of which a friend of mine just shared a funny video on teaching English to a French man:

(sorry for the language)
Mr. Obama would have a hard time to have his orders understood.  ;D

what a joke

Let's see in 4 years.
I don't believe in the miracle man Trump. His previous business was a disaster, only the entertainment was successful...

I also think that this is not possible, but you will agree not a bad idea. It would be interesting to see what would happen. The Americans and the French have a different mentality, but the principles of governance are the same. In France, too, a lot of lives of Arabs maybe they would have supported him.

I think this idea results from the dissatisfaction of the French with their politicians.
I mean everyone knows that Obama can not become the President of France.
It is a hint or a joke but with a serious background.

This is non-sense why would they want Obama to become the president of France when he is an American President. France will just earned a huge debt if Obama will become president. In the US alone on his first month being a president the countries debt added 200 billion dollars. Imagine if he became France President then they will go bankrupt. Though I am not from france the best president that will bring change is Marine Le Pene.

Right now, there is hardly any difference between the policies of the mainstream parties. Look at the major French political parties - Parti socialiste, Les Républicains, and En Marche!. Their policies are very similar, and they are not much bothered about the common man. Only someone outside the political establishment, such as Le Pen will be able to bring change to France.

The chances of Marie Le pen is not yet defined. Now they have increased because her opponent, the candidate for President of France on the largest party "the Republicans" françois Fillon received a summons to court. It is reported by Le Figaro, citing sources.Subpoenas received Fillon and his wife Penelop on 15 and 18 March respectively.
In this situation, the Fillon actually deprived of the opportunity to conduct a proper election campaign, however, in his address, he has managed to confirm their participation in the elections of the President of France. But maybe Marie Le pen will be next?

Funny but Obama will not care about this.
Probably will win the Front Nacional.

As I said earlier, it will be extremely difficult for the FN to win in the second round. But then, as Trump said in 2016, it is now or never. If the FN can't win in 2017, they will never again get such a chance.

Or maybe French people like how Obama run this country (USA) during his presidency. Yes, its not a bad idea, but I think if ever this is not a joke and Obama has been selected, he would not accept being the President of France because like you said, American and French don't have the same mentality.

Not going to win. Today Marie Le Pen has removed the immunity. This means that Europe is not interested in the victory of the popular front. I'm already convinced that Putin lost this fight. Just as he lost the fight for Trump.

This can be a run that will be quite difficult for Obama, if he will push thru with it. I bet there will be a lot French citizens who would prefer someone from the sane country to run for office. But hey, we never know. Maybe a lot of people in France like the way that Obama handled the US. We will just have to wait though. Personally,  I think Obama shouldn't run anymore. He can maybe be a political consultant or something.

So what? It's nearly childish the accusation! In fact that accusation may boost her campaign, and if any court arrest her on such grounds would be a sort of "coupe-d'etat" with unpredictable results.

I doubt that Obama will become the President of France, but it would be a good experiment. In any case, now in France is a sweep of all applicants who occupy a leading position. Europe does not want to see far-right politics in France.
