Bernie Tips France!

Vermont's Independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has declined to endorse a presidential candidate...until now.
Ol' Bernardo finally let his ol' cat out of the bag this week - to the people of France, well, actually to the readers of Le Monde .
Sen. Barack Obama is his candidate.
Le Monde Capitol Hill writer Corine Lesnes ends her piece on Vermont's one-of-a-kind senator with a little insight into things to come down Washington-way in January.
Cheer up, folks. Time to pull together. Brighter days ahead.
Here's a translation of the kicker on Corine's Le Monde piece:
"Bernie" and his group of progressive friends in Congress are already working on a program for first 100 days of 2009: medical coverage for all, reduction in military spending, reform of trade agreements, and the end of the war in Iraq ... "I told Barack Obama not to worry for its first three months, we have already prepared the ground for him", said "Bernie".
Also... I caught this license plate down the block the other day.
Nice.
