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
We need a comprehensive “Gaff List”
It could be quite comical...and sad for our country at
the same time.
“Uh, Michelle, this dress looks good on you. The system has suffered a fatal error and must reboot...”
You got it! LOL.
That is still one of the funniest movies made.
Perhaps WE need a shadow government...that could be a brilliant idea! They could include the recently insulted PM Brown, too!
Yes, we did. I expected this to be Carteresque, I didn’t expect it this bad this fast. Frankly what I’ve seen from day one scares the heck out of me.
They really need to tell Obama that from now on he shouldn’t even WRITE anything without the prompter in front of him.
I forsee a mental hospital named for Obama: The Obama Home for the Criminally Stupid.
Anyone else find it interesting that B.O. is strategically insulting our Allies, while getting cozy with the Middle Eastern nations?
Yes, it is frightening. It is very frightening, because much of what he does brings tremendous consequences for America.
Starting with his administration and many who voted for him.
bttt
If you’ll remember from the crank call she got, not only did Gov. Palin know who the President of France is, she also knew his wife’s name.
I think we are on our own, the media isn’t doing their jobs and until or unless they get as scared as we are and start doing those jobs I don’t think this is going to end well.
I hope so. I like laughing at Obama. :^)
I’ve noticed.
Yes. Now, to read and find out what the little idiot has done THIS time. Of course, I'm expecting the LameStream media to barely mention it, while if Bush had done it, he would have been ridiculed for months.
And you are right, we are on our own. That's why Obama wants to get rid off of the voices of dissent like Rush Limbaugh. Anyone opposing Obama's socialist point of view becomes a threat.
Mark Steyn is on for Rush tomorrow. Mark already did a hilarious take on how world leaders regard the Obamateur (and it’s not as the smartest guy in the room). After the Obamateur’s gaffes with PM Brown and now this, Mark will have a field day.
cool beans....it just keeps on coming from the messiah...
