But Obama openly       endorsed ahead of Sunday’s closely watched runoff.              “I’m not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don’t       have to run for office again, but the French election is very important to the       future of France and the values that we care so much about,” Obama said, in       a web video tweeted        Thursday by Macron.                      “Merci @BarackObama,” Macron wrote.               Obama, in the video, said Macron has “stood up for liberal values” and       praised his vision for the role France plays in Europe and around the world.              Le Pen has been a fierce critic of the European Union, and wants to curb       immigration. In a debate Wednesday, she reportedly blasted Macron as beholden       to big business and called herself “the candidate of the people.” She also       cast her rival as soft        on Islamic extremism.              Obama said Macron “appeals to people’s hopes and not their fears … I am       supporting Emmanuel Macron to lead you forward.”               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
