...policy initiatives have so far fizzled. A package of tax reductions and credits passed into law last July has had little discernible impact on investment and jobs. Legislation that took hold in October allowing companies and workers to step around the legal 35-hour work-week limit hasn't done much to stiffen French work habits. And though his showdown in November with militant unions and striking transport workers over generous special pensions was hailed as an unprecedented success, Sarkozy still hasn't produced a final agreement to end that conflict, which could flame anew when talks on tightening general...

Here we're going have a guy, if he's elected, who has made a practice of getting things done, not by reaching across the aisle, but rather walking across the aisle and sitting down with the Democrats...
...teachers who taught them in an attempt to apportion credit and blame and, in some cases, target help to teachers who need it.
