Sarkozy called Obama insane, and has been reasonably intelligent and responsible.

Recently, Sarkozy used a videoconfrence call he had with Obama to show that Obama supported him.

Sarkozy 'embarrassed France' with Obama video conference TV stuntFrench president condemned for allowing cameras in to film video link-up just days before first round of election

Days before the first-round vote in the French presidential election, on 22 April, the rare glimpse of banter between world leaders shows Obama saying of the campaign: "It must be a busy time." He adds: "I admire the tough battle you are waging." Sarkozy replies, grinning, with arms folded: "We will win, Mr Obama. You and me, together." The cameras leave before the pair talk about Syria, Iran and oil.

The Socialist party accused Sarkozy of breaking diplomatic protocol and embarrassing France on the world scene to boost his struggling campaign for re-election, saying the images "weakened France's credibility in Washington and across the world".

This is pure BS. Propaganda manipulated by the left to disparage Sarkizy.
Sarko is a brilliant politician and used Obama, (with his full knowledge, BTW) who is very popular in France to show him being Presidential, in command of France’s foreign policy, compared to Hollande, who has no government experience and never held a real job except President of the Socialist Party for 10 years.
Stop parroting the Socialist talking points on Sarko. He is no left winger, and no socialist.
