As the great Johnny Cash would say...Suhhweeet!

Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.”
“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.

“Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.

“I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map,” he continued, referring to Israel.

Zer0, it’s pretty serious when the French are painting you yellow.

[Non-Sequitur]

It strikes me that Sarkozy is treating Obama with the same contemptuous, dismissive attitude that Obama uses towards Gordon Brown. I wonder how he likes being on the receiving end?

[calex59]

It is pretty bad when the French make the POTUS look like a coward.

Hope Sarkozy makes the Post, too!

RUSH: You've got to hear this. This is November of 2007. Remember Obama just talked about how when Sarkozy came to the United States, he was "a rock star." Obama could learn a lot about this. You want to know why -- and Sarkozy was. Do you know why the American people loved Nick Sarkozy? Now, we've shortened the applause here for time purposes. He addressed a joint meeting of the House and Senate. We have four bites. Listen to these

SARKOZY (via translator): To the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who, with their own hands, their intelligence, and their hearts, built the greatest nation in the world, America did not say, "Come, and everything will be given to you." Rather, she said, "Come, and the only limits to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent."

RUSH: I remember playing these bites. (applause) Yeah, right on, right on, right on. I remember playing these bites back in November 2007 and just throwing my arms up in frustration. "Why can't one American presidential candidate talk like this?" Here's another one...

SARKOZY (via translator): The America that we love throughout the world embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance, another chance -- because, in America, failure is never the last word. There is always another chance. Here, in your country, on this soil, both the humblest and the most illustrious citizens alike know that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned. That is what constitutes the moral value of America. (applause)

RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. I'll tell you why this was so important was because Sarkozy comes from a country where everybody -- more and more people, not everybody, more and more people -- are feeling entitled. He couldn't find anybody, had these massive unemployment rates. Socialism was killing the place and he was celebrating and heralding America for what it was and what it's always been. Again, you don't find too many American politicians speaking of their country this way -- certainly not Democrats. So is it any wonder Sarkozy came over and was treated like a rock star? Here's another...

SARKOZY (via translator): America liberated us, and this is an eternal debt we owe America. (applause) Every time, whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world, I think of what the American army did for France. (applause) I think of them, and I am sad as one is saddened to lose a member of one's family.

RUSH: Whoa, baby! Oh, baby. Here he is thanking the United States for liberating France. Even the Democrats in the House of Representatives had to stand up and applaud that. I don't know if Obama was there. Final bite from Sarkozy...

SARKOZY (via translator): We need France to be stronger. I am determined to carry through with the reforms that my country has put off for all too long. I will not turn back. I will implement all of them because France has turned back for all too long. I have come to present to you today a France that comes out to meet America, to renew the covenant of friendship and alliance that Washington and Lafayette sealed in Yorktown. Together let us be true to their memories. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I say this to you on behalf of the French people: "Long live the United States of America! Long live France! Long live French-American friendship!" (applause)

RUSH: Got the applause and a standing ovation there. That's why he was greeted here as a rock star -- and again something there for Obama to learn. Here we have the French president coming over and praising the country, not fawningly, not artificially and not saying things that weren't true. Now, these liberals have so much guilt, they say one thing good about this country and they feel like they've got to say five things bad. If everything isn't perfect, then everything's wrong.

Poland can and will fight back.

Yea but dam it they shouldn't have to be in this position AGAIN.. and put their BY OUR COUNTRY lead by this jackass O'bunghole!

[steveyp]

Crap. My bread and butter has been hatred of France (cue belly girl). Obama is such a putz.

[tioga]

awesome man Sarkozy is.......and his wife...ooh, la la........she outclasses MO in a heartbeat.

[Yorlik803]

Obama is the greatest president that Iran could ever hope for. If he even think about confronting the Israeli Airforce, he is going to have such a crap-storm fall on him. Imagine telling the USAF to shoot down pilots that some of them trained, in effect maing them they are part of the Iranian airforce.
Treason is too lite of a word to describe what Obama is doing. Must be a stronger word out there.

[Yorlik803]

The prettiest sound in the world is a 30 megaton nuke going off over Mecca.
What has America done?

[dfwgator]

Yep, it’s a mixed up world, when I envy the French for their leadership.

On many fronts Obama is basically on the same page as Ama-nutjob in Iran.

Chavez Vows To 'Stand By Iran'
After Oil Talks In Tehran, Venezuelan Leader Called 'Brother' By Ahmedinejad

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

I know, but Poland is ready to stand on their own two feet. Zero is going to end up impeached, riots be damned. Minorites cannot keep getting away with threatening riots if things don’t go their way. Unlike BEFORE the election, whites are ready to get some trigger time in if minorites act out against society again.

I think at some point things are going to come to a head that needs to come.

Hi Starman...Nice Thread!

Just Had to Add MORE...LOL

Maybe This IS what They should be having OUR Kids in Kindergarten Singing…Instead Of what You have heard and seen on Video…This past week from the New Jersey Kindergarten:

Start The NEW Obama Worship Service Song:

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think theyre o.k.
If they dont give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they cant see the light, thats right
cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always mister right, cause we are

Chorus:

Living in Obamas Virtual World
And I am a Virtual girl
You know that we are living in Obamas Virtual World
And I am a Virtual girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
Thats all right with me
If they cant raise my interest then i
Have to let them be

Some boys try and some Presidents lie but
I don’t let them play
Only Presidents who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, cause they are

(chorus)

Living in Obamas Virtual World [Virtual]
Living in Obamas Virtual World
(repeat)

Boys may come and boys may go
And that’s all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they’re after me, cause everybody’s

(chorus)

A Virtual, a Virtual, a Virtual, a Obama’s Virtual World

Living in a Virtual world [Virtual]
Living in a Obamas Virtual World
(repeat and fade)

______

Peace!
Dan

[Republic of Texas]

Exactly. I’m glad Sarkozy said it, but the Euro’s complain about Republican President’s for aggressively defending freedom and then bitch about Democrat Presidents who don’t.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Freedom to Zero is Communist tyranny. Witness Honduras.

[HamiltonJay]

You know its sad when the French President is more of a man that the US president...

Obama... proof you can be a jackass and a pu$$y at the same time.

[American Number 181269513]

At least the French President tried to sound tough, which isn't hard when you stand next to Mr. Obama.The Disarmament Illusion

That's gonna sting.

It's a shame though, that every day more and more people are seeing the "leader of the free world" as the weakest.
