America is also a continent, well, techincally 2 continents.
“Let’s hope he doesn’t send a nasty letter to Japan demanding their surrender.”
LOL!!!!
Affirmitive Action aides?
This is a joke, right? I mean, the anti-Christ couldn’t be THAT stupid, could he??
Perhaps Sarkozy should contact GWB.
“It was written to Chirac and his foundation... and no mention when that letter was written.”
I speak French. I’ve read the Figaro link...it says exactly what’s being translated.
Since he talks about working with Chirac (for the next four years)...it has to be fairly recent.
I lived in Europe for seven years. When Sarkozy won and actually had “ensemble” on the podium (meaning “together”) I had never thought I would see the day when the French would lay down their unreasonable (and probably grounded in the humiliation they suffered in two world wars) animus and snottiness towards the USA.
It gave me faith.
This is a slap in the face to a nation that had finally come around.
I’m so pithed I could thpit nails.
Next we'll have Hillary stop by to present Chirac with a "reset" button that says "Up Yours!".
He shouldn't leave his teleprompter at any time, though sometimes he even has a hard time making sense with the benefit of the teleprompter!
So I made a little image depicting our great leader in one of his moments of need:
You are correct. It has been taken out of context, and it does not help Conservatives when they do this. This was a diplomatic faux pas, but not mistaken identity of the French president. Limbaugh does this type of thing all the time and it grates me no end. There is enough to get people worked up about without stretching the truth!
By the way, the letter was picked up on Thursday by Le Figaro, but our media is silent, as usual!
I may sound crazy, but I almost wonder if Hillary is trying to undermine him... there was the reset button, the video tape incident (and plastic helicopters) and now this. Not one of these things should have happened if the State Departement was doing it’s job — not that any idiot, much less TOTUS should know who the President of France is — especially when you freaking met the guy last summer!
Looks like Obama isn’t the only incompetent individual, but his whole administration is incompetent as well.
"WE'RE GOING TO WAR!"

Barack Obama a écrit à Jacques Chirac
Le président américain vient d'adresser une lettre «très sympathique » à Jacques Chirac, selon l'expression de ce dernier. «Je suis certain que nous pourrons au cours des quatre années à venir collaborer ensemble dans un esprit de paix et d'amitié afin de construire un monde plus sûr» , écrit le successeur de George W. Bush au prédécesseur de Nicolas Sarkozy. En évoquant le mot de « paix», Obama rend un hommage implicite à l'action de l'ancien président français qui s'était opposé à la guerre en Irak. Une intervention américaine contre laquelle le futur président américain s'était opposé comme sénateur, lors du vote au Congrès.
Translation please! My French isn't up to this.
I don't personally hold any animosity toward Europe. The EU absolutely, but not the countries or the people.
That is just too funny for words!
“Telly, help me, pal!”
Fox News needs to get French news anchor Melissa Theuriau's reaction regardless of whether she speaks English...
