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
Is this a hoax?
If not, I am looking forward to telling EVERY SINGLE ONE of my lib friends all about The Big O’s newest stupidity. They can’t seem to grasp O’s economic stupidity, but maybe they can figure this one out.
Thanks for your confirmation, Julia.
Many FReepers followed the French elections veryt cl90osely, and were very excited when Sarko won.
After the anti-US sentiments of the last 50+ years, it is a breath of fresh air to have a pro-American, pro-Freedom right winger in the Elysee Palace.
Let’s hope that Obama and his TOTUS don’t screw it up.
If The Obammunist has not written to Sarkozy yet, or picked up the phone, it is a dis. Especially considering Sarkozy's efforts vis a vis NATO.
The timing is interesting since the letter in question was supposedly sent months ago.

I’m sure that your liberal friends will be able to perform the proper mental gymnastics necessary to overlook this latest in a very long list of gaffes by Barry. Still, some of them MUST be having second thoughts.
Barry’s probably been saying, “Who is this French guy Sarkozy and why does he keep calling me?”
One can only hope Obama is heading for impeachment prior to the total destruction of American foreign policy and the economy.
Well, ya gotta give him some credit.
The first draft was in l33t speak. :-P
Somebody going to make jokes about minkes’ now? Bama should be searching for Clousseau for help!
Isn’t that an oxymoron? ;-)

hahahahhahahahh...giggle, giggle..
Giggle, giggle.... That’s a good one!
Most commies are. The leadership is not.
That being said, the link at the top - http://europumas.over-blog.com/article-29271371.html - is a "europuma" blog with considerable biased comment.
The original Figaro article, in translation, is somewhat straightforward.
