I agree.

And I know that girls that don't have much up top think it's fine to not wear a bra, but I disagree
 
She's the most kick *** first lady ever! I love the juxtaposition of state dinners and rock concerts. She's beautiful, amazing and inspiring!
 
French president Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to hospital after collapsing while jogging
26th July 2009

Nicolas Sarkozy was rushed to a Paris hospital by air ambulance today after collapsing while jogging with his bodyguards in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles.
The 54-year-old was said to be feeling 'extremely unwell' and was gasping for breath.
Tests were being carried out at the Val de Grace military hospital, with Mr Sarkozy's 41-year-old wife Carla Bruni at his side.

An Elysee Palace spokesman said Mr Sarkozy had 'felt faint while exercising and is currently undergoing tests in hospital'.
French media are reporting that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a vagal nerve attack, adding that it could involve a brief loss of consciousness and change in the heart rate.
The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions.
It is the second time in two years that the fitness fanatic, who's nicknamed 'Speedy Sarko', has been at the centre of a medical emergency.
On October 21 2007 staff at the Val-de-Grace treated him for a high fever and a throat abscess.
The president underwent a surgery to free his throat of infected material, was administered antibiotics through a catheter, and then discharged.

French President, Nicolas Sarkozy and First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

Today the hospital, on Paris's Left Bank, was surrounded by police and secret servicemen, with high-level visitors coming and going constantly.
Mr Sarkozy, who was elected in 2007, prides himself on his youthful, energetic image and his ability to fulfil a punishing schedule.
Just last week, he jetted over to New York with his singer wife Carla to watch her perform at Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday.
He is famed for his strict fitness regime and is frequently seen running through the streets of Paris with his entourage. The president is also a keen cyclist.
Mr Sarkozy's office published the results of a regular health check at the beginning of July which said he had had blood and cariovascular tests which were normal.

Sarkozy's punishing diet and fitness regime blamed for collapse as he tries to keep up with Carla
27th July 2009

As president, he has to keep up with international affairs, domestic politics and the economic crisis. And then there's Carla.
So perhaps it's no surprise that friends of Nicolas Sarkozy say the gruelling fitness regime he started soon after his wedding to model Carla Bruni was a disaster waiting to happen.
The 54-year-old French president looked pale and a little shaken as he left the Val-de-Grace Military Hospital in Paris with his wife yesterday.

Checking out: Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni leaving hospital today

He had spent the night there having undergone a series of cardiovascular tests after falling ill while jogging.
Close friend and MP Patrick Balkany said: 'Recently the president has looked very honed. He looks more like a Tour de France rider.
'The president is going to have to take more care, work a little less hard and eat a little bit more.'
Mr Sarkozy started dieting within a few days of his wedding to 41-year-old Miss Bruni last year.
She introduced him to a fitness instructor who told him to lose 9lb and two trouser sizes --a change which many would consider unhealthy for a man who stands a mere 5ft6ins.
Out went Mr Sarkozy’s chocolate and cheese snacks, and he has also tried to cut out puddings.

Going home: The President waves as he gets into a car outside the hospital

The increasingly diminutive head of state staggered, appeared to faint, and then fell to the ground on Sunday while jogging in parkland surrounding the Palace of Versailles.
He may have pushed it too far in his bid to keep up with the glamorous Miss Bruni, 41, according to allies.
Since marrying Miss Bruni last year following a whirlwind romance of just 80 days, Mr Sarkozy has been desperately trying to appear as youthful and trendy as the former supermodel-turned-pop star.

Rest: Officials say Mr Sarkozy will take some time out to relax

Yesterday as he left hospital Mr Sarkozy insisted: 'I feel fine.' Miss Bruni, who was by his side throughout the scare, told medical staff: 'Thank you so much - you've been wonderful'.
An Elysee Palace spokesman confirmed 'intense physical exercise' was to blame for his collapse and said tests had not revealed any underlying heart problems.
Meanwhile the President’s increasingly frenetic workload has included accompanying Miss Bruni to the theatre and to concerts - events he seldom bothered with in the past.

Hectic: Mr Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni on Bastille Day earlier this month
Last weekend, he paid a lightning visit to New York to watch his wife perform at a charity gig celebrating Nelson Madela’s 91st birthday.
Doctors at Val de Grace conducted neurological, blood and cardiological tests as well as an electroencephalogram which tests the electrical activity of the brain.
Close advisers visited the President while he was in the hospital to keep him up to date on state business and he was kept in overnight.

Strict regime: Mr Sarkozy and his wife out jogging together in New York
The Elysee Palace has played down the President’s collapse, blaming it on a ‘vasovagal episode’ caused by the dilation of the body's blood vessels in response to stimulus from the vagal nerve - something which often happens during exercise.
It is the second time during his presidency that Mr Sarkozy has been rushed to hospital.
On Oct 21 2007 - the day after his divorce from second wife Cecilia - doctors at treated him for a high fever and a throat abscess.
The president underwent surgery to remove infected material, was given antibiotics through a catheter, and then discharged.

Tough regime: French president Nicolas Sarkozy jogging in New York on July 17
Economics minister Christine Lagarde was replacing the President at a signing ceremony at the Elysee Palace today.
A planned visit to the Mont St Michel Abbey in Normandy tomorrow has also been cancelled as he rests up.
However, he hopes to chair the last cabinet meeting before the summer holidays on Wednesday.
Mr Sarkozy is due to leave for a long holiday on the Riviera during the French parliamentary summer break.
When he returns he is expected to cut down his exercise regime.

Ah, Carla, this is much better than jogging: Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni enjoy an intimate swim after health scare
02nd August 2009

French President Nicolas Sarkozy seems to have found the perfect way to recuperate after collapsing while jogging last week.
Doctors told him to take things easy after his dizzy spell in a Paris park, so he has just begun a three-week holiday in Cap Negre, near Marseille.
The 54-year-old had promised to take some ‘quiet time’ on the south coast, where he strolled hand-in-hand with his 41-year-old model-turned-pop-singer wife Carla Bruni, before they took an intimate dip in the Mediterranean together.

Bonnes vacances: French president Nicolas Sarkozy swims with wife Carla :wub: just a day after arriving in Cap Negre, the French first lady's family home
But given his health scare, he had better take care that whatever he gets up to doesn’t raise his heart rate too much.
President Sarkozy was admitted to the Val de Grace Military Hospital in Paris last month after collapsing while jogging.
Although he has vowed to continue running, fears have been expressed that he is pushing himself too far.
