There, they could barely see inches in front of their faces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It was a very traumatic situation and a very frightening situation, to be out there on I-75 in the midst of that traffic, hearing crashes, hearing explosions, hearing people scream and call for help and not be able to get to them,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Camps escaped with stitches to his knee.

He referred frequently to Germany as an economic model that France should be copying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting the stage for what aides say will be an "honest" campaign that admits past mistakes yet seeks to show he is the safest pair of hands to steer France out of economic gloom, Sarkozy sounded a note of humility about his years in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I accept the criticism," he said, adding that there had been "ups and downs" and things he regretted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opinion polls show Sarkozy could lose a runoff against Hollande by 10 percentage points, and some in his UMP party believe he is suffering from his decision to leave launching his campaign until close to a March 16 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hollande put in an able performance last week in a TV debate against Alain Juppe, Sarkozy's foreign minister and one of the most talented politicians in his team, and he also unveiled a weighty and fiscally responsible economic plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an attempt at one-upmanship, Sarkozy said France's public deficit for 2011 could come in as low as 5.4 or 5.3 percent of gross domestic product, well below a target of 5.7 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet illustrating the economic challenge ahead, the source said that the government will soon revise down its 1.0 percent forecast for 2012 growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Hollande and Sarkozy are seizing on the euro zone crisis and what many fear is a descent into recession in France as their key focus for the 2012 election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Hollande blames France's woes on more than a decade of conservative leadership, Sarkozy is playing on his experience next to a man who has never been a government minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Ifop poll published on Sunday showed, however, that many see Hollande as the best candidate to tackle debt reduction and unemployment, which is running at a more than 12-year high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poll found 46 percent of respondents trusted Hollande most to fight unemployment, versus 22 percent for Sarkozy, and 34 percent chose Hollande as the best to handle the public debt, versus 32 percent for Sarkozy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Underlining a belief that Hollande could defeat Sarkozy, Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party said on Saturday that the German Chancellor plans to actively back Sarkozy in his campaign by making joint appearances with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2768993109763670850-8757350625384749485?l=reconpresseusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/feeds/8757350625384749485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2012/01/france-sarkozy-raps-economics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/8757350625384749485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/8757350625384749485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2012/01/france-sarkozy-raps-economics.html' title='FRANCE: SARKOZY RAPS ECONOMICS'/><author><name>SYBLOG/DIR</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07213636268314904487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='14' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lqSrRzTgfzU/TjCZKsjNmCI/AAAAAAAAAJg/c1Gh-9rbaok/s220/sy003.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lvPoa1bQTS4/TyXrvPCuwDI/AAAAAAAABDs/mOHph5uBPaQ/s72-c/nick001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768993109763670850.post-771900004151541868</id><published>2012-01-29T16:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T16:41:57.430-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 ELECTION: ROMNEY AND ROAST IN FLORIDA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpfnOXLy3r4/TyXm3O8t13I/AAAAAAAAAe4/q48GvcB6H6c/s1600/romney001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpfnOXLy3r4/TyXm3O8t13I/AAAAAAAAAe4/q48GvcB6H6c/s320/romney001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703218339714553714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=arial size=3 color=000000&gt;&lt;b&gt;27th Marines, &lt;/b&gt; Jan 29, 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=arial size=5 color=000000&gt;Mitt Serves Up Roast Pig&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=arial size=3 color=000000&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIALEAH--Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney received a warm, Cuban-American welcome -- complete with the requisite lechón -- Sunday afternoon in Hialeah, Miami-Dade County's most heavily Hispanic, Republican stronghold.&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to a crowd of a couple hundred outside Casa Marin, a traditional Hialeah political spot, Romney spoke about his love for his family, the military, freedom and the United States, repeating important themes for older, Cuban-American voters that form the base of Miami-Dade's Hispanic Republican electorate.&lt;br /&gt;"Gifts to people who are fundamentally evil are always accepted and never returned," Romney said, criticizing President Barack Obama's policy toward Cuba, which allowed for more remittances and travel to the island.&lt;br /&gt;The president is full of "excuses" for the stalled economy, Romney said -- and accused his chief GOP primary rival, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, of relying on "excuses" to justify his apparently slowing momentum in Florida.&lt;br /&gt;"The reason you find it hard to connect to the speaker is you know the past 15 years he's been working in Washington," Romney said. "You want someone who is not part of Washington."&lt;br /&gt;Before his 10-minute speech, Romney was introduced by his wife, Ann, who spoke about the importance of family, and their youngest son, Craig, who has appeared with Romney all week, speaking Spanish to the Hispanic crowds. "My father doesn't speak Spanish," Craig Romney said in Spanish. "But he does speak the language of the economy."&lt;br /&gt;After the speech, Romney stepped into the packed Casa Marin restaurant, where another hundred people or so waited. As he entered the restaurant, several older gentlemen played their guitars and sang Guantanamera.&lt;br /&gt;Romney was invited to carve a slow-roasted, suckling pig -- Cuban lechón -- which he did, with a knife and tongs. He posed for photos next to the pig and gave a bite to U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Then Romney signed autographs and worked the room, where folks could not be persuaded to remain seated. He blew a kiss to a woman who blew one at him first. Another woman carried an "Arriba con Mitt" (Up with Mitt) sign. A third woman said it was "unfair" when Romney did not come to her table.&lt;br /&gt;Romney had been welcomed by a gaggle of Hialeah Republicans, including Mayor Carlos Hernandez, most city council members and former state Sen. Rudy Garcia. Also on stage with Romney: Ros-Lehtinen, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Reps. Connie Mack and Mary Bono Mack.&lt;br /&gt;Lincoln Diaz-Balart told reporters before Romney's speech that Hispanics who favored Romney's rival, John McCain, in 2008 would this time cast their ballots for Romney. "People have gotten to know him. They know that he is our friend," he said. "They trust Ileana, Mario and me. They know that he is listening to us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2768993109763670850-771900004151541868?l=reconpresseusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/feeds/771900004151541868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-election-romney-and-roast-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/771900004151541868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/771900004151541868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-election-romney-and-roast-in.html' title='2012 ELECTION: ROMNEY AND ROAST IN FLORIDA'/><author><name>SYBLOG/DIR</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07213636268314904487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='14' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lqSrRzTgfzU/TjCZKsjNmCI/AAAAAAAAAJg/c1Gh-9rbaok/s220/sy003.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpfnOXLy3r4/TyXm3O8t13I/AAAAAAAAAe4/q48GvcB6H6c/s72-c/romney001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768993109763670850.post-789353949831052462</id><published>2011-08-11T09:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-11T09:17:13.499-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WELCOME</title><content type='html'>WELCOME TO RECONPRESSEUSA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2768993109763670850-789353949831052462?l=reconpresseusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/feeds/789353949831052462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2011/08/welcome.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/789353949831052462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2768993109763670850/posts/default/789353949831052462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reconpresseusa.blogspot.com/2011/08/welcome.html' title='WELCOME'/><author><name>SYBLOG/DIR</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07213636268314904487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='14' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lqSrRzTgfzU/TjCZKsjNmCI/AAAAAAAAAJg/c1Gh-9rbaok/s220/sy003.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
