Help me out here folks Could he really be this stupid????

Now Obama has insulted French President Sarkozy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh no! Obama sent a letter to Chirac, saying he looks forward to working with him the next four years. Le Figaro, French newspaper is horrified at the faux pas. Doesn't Obama ever consult his staff before acting? Sarkozy is the President there! It's like Sarko writing to George Bush and saying he looks forward to working with him. Chirac is the FORMER president.

Here is a translation of the letter in Le Figaro:

Vendredi 20 mars 2009 OBAMA PREFERS CHIRAC !

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.

Vendredi 20 mars 2009 OBAMA PREFERS CHIRAC !

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 ! http://europumas.over-blog.com/article-29271371.html edited to add the original french article: http://www.lefigaro.fr/actualites/20...es-chirac-.php

Insulting the French is actually the only thing he has done that I agree with.

“Yes, I considered that but still think in so doing he dissed Sarkozy. It’d be kinda like Sarkozy writing to Bush.”

Except that Sarkozy has been president for almost two years, not two months!

“Insulting the French is actually the only thing he has done that I agree with.”

- Seriously speaking, what is your idea of how Europe and America together could defeat Islamofascism?

My suggestion to all true Americans:

Let’s forget about Chirac like most of the French and everyone else over here have and stand up for freedom like true Westerners!

Best of regards from a continent that refuses to be lead by the likes of Chirac!

The website for Le Monde doesn't have anything on this. I'm just looking for some verification. This has to be someone's idea of satire.

The sad thing is, even satire reads true these days.

I will leave it to you to accept or deny what has been posted, by others, in regards to this story. Hey I'm a light weight when it comes to Freeper land. I'm proud I've made it this far. I will say this, if you weigh the rest of the absurdities that Zero has done, I find it quite believable.

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.

The American president has just sent a "very friendly" letter to Jacques Chirac, according to the latter. "I am sure that over these four years, we can work together in a spirit of peace and friendship to create a safer world," wrote the successor of George Bush to the predecessor of Nicholas Sarkozy. By using the word "peace," Obama implicitly pays tribute to the activity of the former French president, who was opposed to the Iraq war. In a vote in Congress when he was a senator, the future US president opposed American intervention.

Any implication this is the true face of the current President is purely intentional.

I thought it was a hoax, but having seen the brief text, I now believe that Bambi did send it to Chirac, although not because he thought Chirac was still president. He’s just saying he wants to work with Chirac in the cause of peace, yadda, yadda, and completely ignore the current president. Obama did this to insult Sarkozy, who is (by French standards) a conservative.
