France’s newly sworn-in president, François Hollande, is at the White House today. With the eurozone in crisis in full swing and France’s withdrawal from Afghanistan on the possible horizon, there will be no shortage of conversation topics between the two heads of state.
Today we’re going to have our own discussion about the meeting of le président and the president. What is a French socialist anyway? What will Hollande be like as president?
