Help me out here folks Could he really be this stupid????

Now Obama has insulted French President Sarkozy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh no! Obama sent a letter to Chirac, saying he looks forward to working with him the next four years. Le Figaro, French newspaper is horrified at the faux pas. Doesn't Obama ever consult his staff before acting? Sarkozy is the President there! It's like Sarko writing to George Bush and saying he looks forward to working with him. Chirac is the FORMER president.

Here is a translation of the letter in Le Figaro:

Vendredi 20 mars 2009 OBAMA PREFERS CHIRAC !

Barack Obama does not seem to know that in May 2007, French voters elected Nicolas Sarkozy to the French presidency, to succeed Jacques Chirac who had been president for twelve years.

Yesterday, we told you Sarkozy is irritated because Mister O. refuses to tell him if he will accept to meet him personally in the next few months.

Strangely, we have just learnt this surprising piece of news :

Barack Obama wrote a letter to Jacques Chirac to tell him about his desire to "work with him" for the next four years ! In a letter described by Chirac as "very nice," Obama wrote, "I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world." The use of the word "peace" was taken to be an indirect reference to Chirac's stance against the US intervention in Iraq, which Obama had also opposed.

This revelation was made by the online edition of the daily Le Figaro on Thursday.

Vendredi 20 mars 2009 OBAMA PREFERS CHIRAC !

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.

I wonder if someone had told him, when he came to France last summer, that the man he met was NOT Jacques Chirac !

In any case, for Sarko, the blow must be terrible : he has tried to persuade Obama to invite him in Washington for months, and now he learns that his predecessor might soon be Obama's guest at the White House before him ! http://europumas.over-blog.com/article-29271371.html edited to add the original french article: http://www.lefigaro.fr/actualites/20...es-chirac-.php

No problem. If you can read a little French, the Figaro website is very well done.

Yes, you are correct. Chirac was Saddam’s BFF for many years, and lined his pockets well.

They don’t call him Jacques Iraq for nothing!

He doesn't want to deal with conservative sarkozy. He wants to deal with leftist leaders who share his ideology in every country. Which is the point I make.

No confusion about it.

Obama chooses who HE recognizes as head of state in any country.

Obama was doing US diplomatic work even before he was inaugurated and during his campaign. Kenya is but one example of his handiwork.<,p> I keep saying he is a fascist, but people simply laugh at that, but not for much longer.

Obama insults all who are hated by the Muslims.

He embraces Muslim terrorists.

Zero is not a Christian.

He is a closet Muslim.

Actions speak louder than words.

When he speaks, he telegraphs his intentions.

Nothing is done without a purpose with Zero.

That would be assuming he didn't know who France's President is, which we all know he did. Do we recall the reaction Zero got from Sarkozy while campaigning there. Do we recall the look on Sarkozy’s face?? Pure disgust.

Not to mention Sarkozy himself has been in contact with Zero, looking forward to meeting with him, for months.

Sorry, I do not buy he didn't know.

From an Italian news source, which cites "Le Figaro": Obambi won't visit France and meet Sarkozy on April 3, but has postponed his visit until June 6 (D-Day Anniversary).

http://notizie.virgilio.it/notizie/esteri/2009/03_marzo/19/francia-usa_obama_scrive_a_chirac,18426273.html

(ANSA) - PARIGI, 19 MAR - Il presidente Obama ha scritto una lettera 'molto simpatica' all'ex presidente francese Jacques Chirac. Lo rende noto Le Figaro. Inoltre sempre secondo la stampa francese Obama non verra' in visita in Francia il prossimo 3 aprile, come avrebbe voluto l'Eliseo, ma il 6 giugno. 'Sono certo che noi potremo nel corso dei quattro anni riuscire a collaborare insieme in uno spirito di pace e d'amicizia per costruire un mondo piu' sicuro', ha scritto il presidente americano a Chirac.

Obama, send Sarkozy the DVD box set of the “Pink Panther” collection as a make-up/apology gift.

BTW, what the hell is a "European"? Do you have a country to which you state allegiance, or do you not? Europe is a continent. America is also a continent... just sayin
