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
These follies are beginning to convince me he is simply just a common, garden variety, vulgar, everyday basic @sshole.
“....This can’t be real.....”
Nothing going on today seems real...we’ve woken up in a foreign land, or rather our land governed as if by foreigners...
Where are the adults?
This is the headline from the international page of Le Figaro.
Hope some of you can translate it.
Explains why American high schoolers FLUNK social studies. Coming out of the obozo admin and since obozo is a fraud, I’m not surprised. This is perfect example as to why Euros HATE the US.
Yes.
I'm sure that's very reassuring for Chirac. His clinically depressed dog attacked him last year, and I think he's been looking for a new friend.
this has to be either a joke or a lie (although I hope it is neither :-D). didn’t S says he wanted O as president as they go back and are frieds? guess O forgot about who his friend is.
Are you for real saying this is for real, really?
This is just too funny.
I agree, they can’t be that stupid...but on the other hand...this IS Obama we’re talking about. The man can’t THINK without a teleprompter.
Seriously, if Bush or McCain did this the roar from the MSM would be deafening.
Yes, it says that Obama was replying to a letter that Chirac sent to him in the name of his Foundation for Peace and the Environment adding that it was not meant as a diss on Sarkozy. So this must be from a followup article or something. I’m confused...
ROTFL

Be sure to watch 60 Minutes tonight. O. is supposed to be on sans teleprompter! Should be a gas!
“These follies are beginning to convince me he is simply just a common, garden variety, vulgar, everyday basic @sshole.”
Very well said. He’s way in beyond his head and the fool doesn’t even know it. He’s got a lot to learn and he’s doing it on our dime or should I say trillions.
This buffoon just made a gaffe that would have ended any Republican's political career. If Bush had said it, it would have been the subject of Saturday Night Live skits for years. But for Obama, it will be unmentionable.
Oh my - I must say I’m not surprised at this. Remember, this is the guy who thought we had **57** STATES! He’ll have the whole world ganging up against us by summer!
I don’t think that we should be so quick to Jump on Obama for this.
Perhaps Biden drafted the letter for Obama to not read and sign.
More proof that AA in the work place doesn’t work and that the Peter Principal applies at all levels.
Mon Dieu, quel idiot!
