Occupy Paris Wins

Enemies of France rejoice--socialists win:

Socialist François Hollande Wins French Presidential Election

Liberals spent the Bush administration whining that we weren't more like France. Now France is more like America.

I wonder if the Obama adminsitration is hopeful about this as a trend or fears that France will collapse before November?

UPDATE: President Obama votes for the latter by urging the incoming socialist president not to carry out socialist policies:

As Ace writes, “If France crashes, it offers America a preview of where Obama’s policies will take us, so he… doesn’t want France to implement Obama’s policies. He doesn’t want that heads up. Not before the election.”

In the temporary absence of the Instapundit from the webiverse, I grant "Heh."
