He believes what he says, and says what he believes in terms that are simple but thought-provoking.

...approval numbers - was the main reason most observers expected the President to announce state handouts to boost purchasing in a nationally televised interview Thursday on TF1 and France 2. Instead, Sarkozy told the public that getting more money into consumer pockets would have to come from people working longer - and effectively renouncing the nation's 35-hour workweek. "Get To Work, And No Gifts" headlined the leftist daily Libération Friday. "The End of the 35-Hour Yoke" celebrated its conservative rival, Le Figaro...
