Open shirt, black sunglasses and shiny Rolex: Stressing cool looks, Sarkozy's posing with his new conquest Carla Bruni in front of the photographers. Referring to Rappers who are posing with their heavy golden chains and their girl-friend, French paper "liberation" called Sarkozy the "bling-bling" president. Until summer, Sarkozy had sworn his love publicly to his wife Cecilia Sarkozy. Ever since the ex-model left him alone, Sarkozys summoning beautiful women around him. In distant France though, criticism is meanwhile mounting even within Sarkozys own ranks concerning the style of Mr.Sarkozy.

In summer Sarkozy had himself pictured with half-bare chest next to the only slightly clothed minister of justice Rachida Dati. Afterwards, the pictoresque TV-journalist Laurence Ferrari got paid on charges against Sarkozy after reports on some kind of affair. The rumours about Sarkozys affairs didnt come to an end - until Carla arrived and the boulevard press reported every detail.

Irritations about Sarkozys Style

89 % of the French declared on a poll on xmaas Sarkozys Idyll (oasis) with the singer Bruni was his private fun. That means that it is no state matter and I guess it shouldnt be. Though even within his own ranks of Sarkozys party UMP irritations about his style mount, due to which star director Claude Chabral feels reminded of "reality-shows in TV" a la big brother. Sarkozy turned politics into a TV event (or more like an incident) , said Francois Goulard who was a long time member (I guess of Chiraqs) cabinet (administration). "All presidents before had culture, even Chiraq."

The opposition criticized furthermore that Sarkozy tripled his own income and afterwards, he made shamelessly holiday trips paid by billionaires. Sarkozy, Bruni and company flew to Luxor in a Dassault-Breguet Falcon 900 of French Multi-entrepreneur Vincent Bollore. Already after his election victory, Sarkozy flew with Bollores private jet to Malta to relax some days aboard Bollores private yacht - back then still with Cecilia. In Charm El Scheich, Sarkozy resides in the private villa of the scheich of Abu Dhabi. Sarkozy had himself invited also for his summer trip to the US in Wolfeboro: by Agnès Cromback, the president of the juweler Tiffany-France and Mathilde Agostinelli, the public relation chief of Prada France.

Deroute from daily concern for the French

The Élysée-palace declared by a few words that nobody might care for Sarkozys private life. "If Sarkozy steers himself into a situation where hes dependent on the good heart of Billionaires hes necessarily in the position to produce some equalization," the socialist representative Arnaud Montebourg countered. Bollore is currently building up -besides his Africa-business- a media empire consisting of a PR-agency, some polling institute, newspapers and a TV-station. hes currently involved in some hostile takeover of the French part of AP. Furthermore, the scheich of Abu Dhabi wants to get a share of the construction of Airbus-planes and needs Paris' permission.

Other critics utter that the Sarko-show shall only deroute from the daily concern. Because the president who started out calling himself the man of consumers' aquiring power had to declare recently that he isnt Santa Claus because the state was broke. "More important about Sarkozysm than activity was the activity to cause people not to have the time to turn back and to check what became out of the whole bunch of announcements," declared the journal "Canard enchainé.
