French President François Hollande says he spoke with President Barack Obama about revelations of U.S. eavesdropping on French leaders, and that Obama reiterated promises to stop spying tactics considered “unacceptable between allies.”
Hollande said in a statement that the two spoke by telephone Wednesday after the release of WikiLeaks documents about NSA intercepts of conversations involving Hollande and his two predecessors between 2006 and 2012.

If the French are stupid enough to believe L4B then they deserve the results.

The top floor of the U.S. Embassy, visible from France's presidential Elysee Palace, reportedly was filled with spying equipment hidden behind carefully painted windows, according to the Liberation newspaper, which partnered with WikiLeaks and the website Mediapart on the documents.EVERY countries embassies do that. It is one of their major purposes. If you ever saw the Soviet embassy in DC back in the 80's, the top of it looked like an antenna farm.

Chere Presidente Hollande,
I thought you knew this by now, but our president is a habitual and serial liar. Pathological, really.
Just a reminder.

Dear every President of France:
“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”
“The PPACA will end up costing $2500 a year lower for every family.”
Do you need any more examples of reliability in promises?
