De Gaulle never seemed to have any issues with playing nicely with the US Administration. Sarko is no Charles De Gaulle (TG).

De Gaulle never had issues? Except for the little episode in 1966, when he removed French troops from the NATO command and expelled American NATO troops from France — just 20 years after we saved their gallic butts. And the whole “Europe for the Europeans thang, which was, in effect, an offer of detente to the Soviets in the middle of the Cold War.
