Goodbye president

Some days ago, Jacques Chirac announced that he goes out of the French political scene. An occasion to review what he does during the forty years he spent on the French political scene. His opponents only retains from his two mandates past in the Elysée castle the crises which touch him. His fans see the positive points like opposition of the Iraki war. Nothing surprizing.
Personally I would only comment his last speech.
An image of neutral people comes to me from this intrevention. Such a ‘grand father’ of the nation, he simply gave clear orders, dead line to not cross. The message was as such intended to the French people as his successor. Some simple messages such as the necessity not to deal with extremismes, whatever where them, or a future problem that constitute the ecologic challenge.
Then, that could be a false image from myself, I would only say one thing, he leaves without main fault. So, I will say two last words for him : goodbye president.
