Obama is the President of France

[Maximilian_333]

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.

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.

[JerryWinski]

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

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.

[RJX]

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.

[xusxuquade]

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".  
I love those guys, they read everything on their own language fashion! They've places named "Franklan Rusvél" and the grave of "Jim Morrissón"...  
Just the poor Vladimir Putin they had to adjust to "Poutine" or they would read a curse word on their language.  

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.

what a joke
