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

CS Monitor says otherwise. I think something got lost in translation.
Yes, he’s reaching out to all the commies and socialists.
Ah ha. Thanks.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAW! That is RICH!!!
She sounds better with every passing day. He is either ignorant or classless. OR BOTH.
If Chirac signs any treaties, Sarkozy could have him arrested for treason. I wish he would.
America is going to become the most diplomatically isolated country on earth.
Carter never went this low. If he did, Obama has set a new record anyway.
“Obama is pretending to himself that Chirac is still in charge”
Perfect since he’s living in a fantasy world.
Yeah, Obama will give Chirac a few American actresses for a few French actors.
Sarkzoy is HOT!!
Maybe Obama doesn’t trust himself alone with Sarkozy and he doesn’t want Michelle to scratch Carla’s face in a catfight.
Michelle looks like a buck toothed Uzbek.
I apologize to Uzbeks.
Either that or to China demanding the release of Tibet.
I just KNOW he’s going to do something like that.
It would be funny to see the moonbats get worked up.
I wodner if he might end up inviting Kim Jong Il to the Whote House.
In time. His Democrat buddies are going to stab him in the back. The party is going to go up in flames in two years. We could run Rin Tin Tin and he would win a seat on Congress.
We need to run Fred Thomspon, Duncan Hunter, Rush Limbaugh, and as many hardcore conservatives as possible and with all the ammo we have we could easily win as long as we get the fiery ones in the right places.
Obama is more likely than not listening. He’s busy in high level conferences with Clooney, clogging Brad Pitt while listening to Jolie’s solutions on child poverty and how to walk on the red carpet.
“Fly to Cuba for a meeting with Castro, Jimmy Carter and Juan Chavez of Venezuela????”
With Sean Penn to give him pointers on protocol.
No, it’s Hillary.
