Rainbow Swing Sets Price For Swing

Corpus politicus

A small collapse with large consequences? The image of the omnipresent "hyper-president" who forces his prime minister and some ministers even on trips to the public workout, got a crack. The faintness of Nicolas Sarkozy jogging triggers thinking about the vulnerability. It is well known from earlier episodes in the history of demystification: the king is naked, human, mortal, mundane, like you and me. Vanishes so that his claim to power, he actually forfeited his privileges? Sarkozy will initially limit the damage by the return das Mitgefühl auskostet. Er hat sich abgerackert und sich dabei übernommen, gewiss, aber doch nur im Interesse der Nation! Mit Dankbarkeit können die Regierenden aber nie rechnen, schon gar nicht in Frankreich. Die Allmacht des Staates und des (gekrönten oder erkürten) Staatsoberhaupts hat eine Kehrseite: Wer aus der Rolle fällt, wird fallen gelassen. Und notfalls müssen Köpfe rollen.

Wer dachte, Politik sei bloss eine Sache von Ideen und Rede, hat sich getäuscht. Wie gross der Anteil des Körpers für Politiker ist, entdeckt man erst, wenn dieser Anzeichen von Schwächen zeigt. Nicht von ungefähr investieren Spitzenpolitiker immer mehr Zeit und Geld in den Körperkult. Sarkozy und Berlusconi are two examples. Who wants to rule, must look enviably young and strong, or at least beautiful and seductive and feminine, this also accompanied by corresponding (Carla Bruni, Naomi, Patricia, etc.) prove.

This "body language" is part of the communication strategy. Mostly from the commercial advertising consultant coming to know this maximum. Nicolas Sarkozy, who was drinking has always been alcohol, never smoked, and despite his desire for sweets has long been eating draconian stayed on his line began near the jogging and cycling also have a strict weight training directed by Carla, who as a former model a With a vast experience in such an ascetic lifestyle. As came out, that was on official photographs of the president was a love handles airbrushed out in swimwear, they still smiled amused in France.

About the mishap while jogging jokes no one. It is objectionable and inevitably raises the suspicion that the public is only half, as before, when other presidents were trying to conceal the truth about their physical limits and mortality due to fears of people. Sarkozy has become his human weakness, but it is not certain that it will consider it a real benefit for the French. A president like you and me? This is a political nonsense in France.
