Well, so the guy not only says whatever the teleprompter tells him to say, but writes whatever the 20-year-olds running our state department tell him? Good Lord — I knew who the Prime Minister and the President of France were when I was 18!

Yes, this is for real.

Holy cow.. I just checked it out and your right. I was absolutely sure this was satire.

Are you for real saying this is for real, really?

This is just too funny.

Oh, dear God. I clicked your link to "Le Figaro". From my limited French, yes he did say that.

This buffoon just made a gaffe that would have ended any Republican's political career. If Bush had said it, it would have been the subject of Saturday Night Live skits for years. But for Obama, it will be unmentionable.

Sacre bleu! Imbeccile!

Confidentiel : Barack Obama a écrit à Jacques Chirac

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.

This is another example of an article posted to make us look stupid. Obama was responding to a letter written to his foundation from Chirac.

I THINK WE SHOULD READ THE FACTS BEFORE POSTING SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY BOGUS OR TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.
