Of course it's not going to happen, but its interesting that they would say such thing.

Petition calls on Obama to run for president in France

Amid a presidential campaign that has been marred by scandal, conspiracy theories, and the spectre of a new far-right leader, disillusioned French voters have called for an outsider to join the race: Barack Obama.

A petition launched on Monday calls on the former US president to run in this year’s French elections, which will be held in April and May. Called Obama17, the petition aims to garner 1 million signatures by March 2015, and as of Friday morning, it had already gained 30,000, according to one of the people behind the effort. But even the people who launched the website acknowledge that the chances of Obama actually ascending to the Elysée Palace are virtually zero. French law requires presidential candidates to be French, which Obama is not.

Obama can even beat Canada dudu in polls.

I'm sure Obama's minions can produce a French birth certificate, lol.

All of the signatures are in Arabic.

Only Muslims signed the petition.

As opposed to Trumps, which are in Russian, and maybe some in arabic and Chinese too

It would allow Michelle to be proud of Canada for the first time.

I think it's a wonderful idea. And there's a huge Muslim vote waiting for him.

It takes a special kind of idiocy to start a petition to nominate someone that can't actually be president.

Right off the bat it makes the people seem like irrational kooks.

Please note, this is not a dig at Obama but just at the petition founders whom are idiots.

That is the leftist idiot plan in France because they know hat Marie Le Pen is gonna take it.
