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
“.....Lets hope he doesnt send a nasty letter to Japan demanding their surrender.”

Or he might ask Japan not to attack Hawaii when he vacations there.
Sauce! Um, source...
...It’s the only good thing about this clown. Laugh at his utter stupidity. I started listening to talk radio again just to here the shreik of laughter...
This sounds like satire; is it real?
Sarkozy should respond by writing a similar letter to Bush and Cheney. ....and sending it to the White House.
come on someone!!!! TRUE OR FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????SATIRE?????
Is that a reputable newspaper? You’d think it would be all over the French press, if not the world press.
Yes!
Nicolas is a lucky, lucky man.
Teleprompter told him to what to write.
There are two major newspapers in France, Le Figaro on the Right, and le Monde on the Left.
Le Figaro is a totally reputable newspaper that actually has responsible journalists who report the facts.
I’m still not too sure this is real.
And if it is, perhaps the Big 0 is stating he’d rather work with the former French leader than the current one.
If it is real, I’ll fan some flames- wasn’t Chirac found to be accepting oil-for-food kickbacks from Saddam H?
What a fool.
Cool, thank you for the info
whats so confusing about that?
Well, since chirac is no longer prez, how can he help bo build a more peaceful world?
Too bad for Obama there isn’t a category for politicians to compete in the Special Olympics. He’s getting owned my the Taliban, Chavez and Imanutjob, now this...yikes...
OMG!! WTF?? LOL <—That about says it all.
It is absolutely possible that the incompetent Obama administration is unaware that Chirac is no longer France’s president.
