France's trade unions staged a national strike protesting the economic downturn and causing a one-day stoppage in rail, air and local transport throughout the country on Thursday. Similar protests in the United States this summer are becoming increasingly likely, as tent cities for the homeless are springing up in dozens of U.S. cities. More than 1 million people took to the streets throughout France Thursday as a national poll showed 74 percent of the French supported the protest. This followed a one-day national strike in January that sent hundreds of thousands of French workers to the streets, protesting job cuts and demanding higher welfare payments to cushion the impact of the economic crisis.

Meanwhile, protests in the U.S. are becoming more likely.

"The Obama administration would be well advised to realize that President Obama's appearance on Jay Leno's late-night television show may not demonstrate the level of dedicated leadership or seriousness the American public expects of a president when the country is heading toward the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s," Corsi wrote.

No doubt... what a farce... his bowling skills (or lack thereof) was the main issue... simply incredible.

"The American public would also be well advised to take a close look at French bailouts before becoming too enthusiastic about supporting more Obama administration bailouts."
