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
LOL!
It sure does... and isn’t it interesting, liberals were all convinced Obama was going to restore our image in the world.
I agree most wholeheartedly. If only I could receive LCI on my satellite dish.
Well, we knew better.
On one of the many threads about Odumbo’s dependence on the teleprompter, I asked if he used one when proposing to Michelle.
Good one!
He is...
Cripes! I’d take Wayne or Garth over this MORON. Heck, I’d take Jay and Silent Bob can be the veep!
I am beginning to think that he has speech writers draft his converstaions with his children.
Confidential: Barack Obama wrote to Jacques Chirac

Barack Obama wrote to Jacques Chirac
The U.S. President has just sent a letter "very sympathetic" to Jacques Chirac, in the words of the latter. "I am confident that we can over the next four years working together in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world," writes the successor to George W. Bush's predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy. In mentioning the word "peace," Obama makes implicit tribute to the action of the former French president who opposed the war in Iraq. A U.S. intervention against which the future U.S. president had opposed as a senator, in a vote in Congress.
At his best, Obama is a complete embarassment.
Candor I don’t know anyone who is laughing at that. It seems to be common thought!
For sure!
Take a look.
Could be... that would make sense.
Nice teeth...
>Le Figaro is a totally reputable newspaper that actually has responsible journalists who report the facts.<
How utterly refreshing! Would that they gobble up a few of our major noosepapers in the states!
