Chirac's strong stance against invading Iraq is an example of something Obama knows deeply (as does any Chicago politician): political corruption.

The Palooka-in-Chief doesn't know WHERE France is, let alone who's head of it...
Imagine if Bush had done this what a field day the so called MSM would have had.
Today, barely a peep about this.
To be fair, Obama was writing in response to a letter Chirac sent to Obama, in Chirac’s capacity as head of the “Jacques Chirac Foundation for sustainable development and cultural dialogue.”
Is this a snub of Sarkozy? Sure. A diplomatic faux pas? Of course. But, let’s not take it too far - it’s not an indication that Obama doesn’t know who is currently the President of France.
“Does Barack Obama know who the President of France is?”
Of course he does, just like he knows there are 57 states in our country.
Don’t worry he knows about holidays in Iran and everything else about the Islamic world.

Obama, thinking he is POTUS, obviously spoke without consulting TOTUS. Thus the International fiasco.
Giving the middle finger salute to Sarko is definitely not a good idea.
Sad for America to think that now that GWB is gone, Sarko and Bibi Netanyahu are the leaders of the Free world.
“Some have interpreted the move as a one-fingered gesture to Nicolas Sarkozy, the current president of France. “So, if I understand well, Mister O., who has already despised Gordon Brown, behaving with him as if he did not know he is Prime Minister of Britain, does not even know the name of the French president,” blogs Europumas.
“I wonder if someone had told him, when he came to France last summer, that the man he met was NOT Jacques Chirac!””

Harder question would be does he know who the President of the United States is?
Maybe geography wasn’t taught in the Indonesian primary school that educated him.

GREAT COMMUNICATOR: “How would he pronounce Cassiopeia?”
and repeatedly saluted Orion Energy Systems, whose CEO, Neal Verfuerth, was present at the event. So Obama referred to "Orion" a number of times. Only problem was, he appeared to be unfamiliar with the word:
All terrific press for Orion, except that Obama kept pronouncing the company's name wrong, calling it OAR-ee-on.
Unbelievable... or not...I know it's a trite observation, and one to which we have been driven on almost a daily basis since the Age of Obama began two short months ago, but can you imagine the hooting and hollering that would have ensued if George Bush had never heard of Orion?
I caught President Obama around noon-time for his sit-down with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, where he called the PM “Secretary Rudd”...
I’m not sure how to freepmail. I’m new and getting used to the site. But I would like to be, how you say, pinged?
This is the perfect time for Sarko to do a full-on Reagan.
Didn’t Ireland lower business taxes to get out of its recession?
If Sarko can become a good conservative leader and even elevate France’s position in the world, I’m all FOR it.
The best way to repay Obama’s b****-slap is to show him how it’s done.
I LOVE that the European media is covering this.
ummmmmmmmmmmmm... it appears not.
