American First Lady Michelle Obama presented France’s First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, with a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar “as a sign of friendship” over the weekend. The two first ladies met for the first time on Friday afternoon when President Barack Obama and his wife visited French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife at French Palace Rohan in Strasbourg, France.
Mrs. Obama presented Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy with the Gibson guitar on Saturday before the first ladies visited the Cathedral de Norte Dame de Strasbourg, along with the rest of the NATO Summit spouses. The Gibson Hummingbird apparently hit the right chord with Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy, as the Mrs. Obama’s office reported that the two women really hit it off and enjoyed a private lunch together that lasted for more than one hour.
Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy is a former model, and is also a singer/songwriter. She has released three albums, the last of which, As If Nothing Happened, was released in July 2008. She plays acoustic guitar on many of her songs.
Don’t Obama’s jackbooted thugs have anything better to do with their time (and our money)?
This is a really outrageous attack on a classic American business.
How much more of this are we expected to take?
How do you think Michelle got the guitar!?
Alex Jones interviewed the President of Gibson today. What other shows are doing this?
Most likely stolen goods from the Gibson raid.
Gibson’s are known for their “fat” sound, any guitarist will tell you.
I don't even own a Gibson and I can tell you that the result of that bad idea might be WACO in reverse.
Considering that most guitar players are probably liberal, this might be the one thing that would finally wake them up. You don't mess with a man's guitar. They give them names. They'd sell their kidney before their guitar. Waco in reverse is right.
Yes, they were not charged but they had over a million dollars in assets confiscated by the jack booted thugs (Feds). November 2012 can’t come soon enough.
