The ordinary curse is by surprise, exacerbating an already disastrous fate unexpected. The Matignon was that wise and nevertheless willing victims worse, pleased. It is one of the paradoxes of a situation which is not stingy, as demonstrates method the book that he spent Françoise Fressoz, columnist for the "voices", and his brother "Southwest" Bruno Dive.
"The impossible mission" may be known as such, volunteers are legion. Those who are considering and probably lacking must recommend the reading of this book, which, fortunately, will inform all those who read more selflessly and not less interesting. Each fare more profit analysis is fine, very documented, and are known to be serious without ceasing to be pleasant. Rich anecdotes, some already known others unpublished, but always at the service of the demonstration adds a clear, precise, never pedantic style.

In fact, it remains confused the difficulty of the task. And this is an unfortunate and a single unfortunate to date carefully on the presidential anvil then exposed to all hammers which are handled by the view, meetings, parties, unions, Governments and even his colleagues. Must also respond to the often frenzied moment in entering the duration, even if he ignores his own, and load on his shoulders all discontent. How wonder while seventeen personalities who, under the Fifth Republic, had this painful honor him all lived in suffering and, for one, is there not survived
