“Monsieur le president, I fart in your general direction! And besides, my wife is hotter than yours!”
Oh my - I must say I’m not surprised at this. Remember, this is the guy who thought we had **57** STATES! He’ll have the whole world ganging up against us by summer!
I don’t think that we should be so quick to Jump on Obama for this.
Perhaps Biden drafted the letter for Obama to not read and sign.
More proof that AA in the work place doesn’t work and that the Peter Principal applies at all levels.
Mon Dieu, quel idiot!
merde pour le cerveau

ALERT: OBAMA DISSES SARKO, CUDDLES UP TO CHIRAC!
*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***
Yes, Obama, aka TOTUS is that stupid, misinformed, and ignorant of the leaders on the world stage.
this so called Obama “gaffe” is totally true. The letter is reprinted in Le Figaro, the center right French newspaper.
I’m sure Sarko isn’t losing any sleep over this. He knows that is BFFs in the free world are GWB and Bibi Netanyahu.
Mano a Mano, Sarko v. Obama, I wouldn’t be placiung my bets on the TOTUS.
I believe it is possible it is just sneaky, snarky, Obama,dissing Sarko, by pretending not to know that a right wing, pro-American President has become President of France.
BTW, Jacques Iraq is in total retirement, and supported Sarko’s election.
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.
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 !
This CAN’T be for real...No way. POST the evidence please. Let’s SEE it...!?
KJ, can you read this? Does it really say he wrote to Chirac or is it just a letter to a foundation?

The original item in Le Figaro does not make it clear one way or the other.
LOL
Too bad he couldn’t see France from his back yard, he might have known better!
Cindie
Except they will preside (for real) over more important things than the homecoming day theme and Friday Pizza parties.
So he writes to an “ancien” president under the delusion that he is still in office.
This gives real meaning to that old French put down: “Nostalgie de la boue.”
Insulting the French is actually the only thing he has done that I agree with.
You are basing this on a blog post... please give us a more reputable source...
I’m not too sure I’m going to bite on this one.
I don’t think even 0bami is that lame...
what a malaise!
He TRULY is an imbecile, I'll bet he wears a safety helmet when aunt esther takes him to the lanes.
This is a hoax.
