I gotta go with the Frogs on this one. We aren’t an EU member (yet—wait until Obambi makes us socialist).

Obama is making a huge mistake in issuing such a direct challenge to Sarko.

President Sarkozy: “I have been working hand in hand with President Obama but when it comes to the European Union it is up to member states of the European Union to decide [on membership],” Mr Sarkozy said in an interview on French television. “I have always been opposed to this entry and I remain opposed,” he added. “

His Barckness, in his arrogance, is overstepping his bounds if he thinks he can dictate to the Europeans, especially to the French, as to what is in their best political and economic influence.

Sarko is the more politically astute and more intelligent of the two. Obviously.

Um hellllooooo, Sarko. Does Robert Gibbs need to remind you Obama is king of the world?

[ikka]

Why not? Turkey is full of secular half-Muslims ... just like President Urkel.

[DieHard the Hunter]

II wonder if Sarkozy has an opinion on whether New Zealand should be allowed to join the United States? Perhaps Barack Hussein Obama ought to ask him for guidance on this matter.

[jessduntno]

They haven’t figured it out yet...Bammy don’t know how to talk Turkey...

[dianed]

There are 20 million Muslims already living in Western Europe. Add Turkey to the EU, a country of 70 million, which is 99% Muslim (taking into consideration the declining native European birthrates) and there will be Sharia law everywhere in very short order.

Excellent article...

Obama gets told by the French. Oh, geez. This is the US President? The French?

But, but, but, the Euro’s are enamored with the O’s. They are mesmerized by them too, right?

Doesn't Sarkozy realize the world is now witnessing the one they have been waiting for?

“The United States and Europe must approach Muslims as our friends, neighbours and partners in fighting injustice, intolerance and violence.”

How about this: Muslims get injustice, intolerance and violence under control in their own countries or their communities in countries where they’ve emigrated, then they can talk about EU membership.

Zero makes a speech about “ugly Americans” one day and acts like one the next!

No different from a long line of US leaders, Obama maintains that the parastate of Turkey deserves membership in the weakened remnants of the Judaeo-Christian West.

Never mind Turkey's genocides against millions of Christians, its denial of same, its destruction of past non Turk cultural monuments similar to the Taliban, the continued murder of Christians priests and others on a daily basis, ad nauseum.
