Yes, he wrote to Jacques Chirac saying - “I am certain that we will be able during the four years to come to collaborate together in a spirit of peace and of friendship in order to build a safer world”,
The article continues...so writes the successor of George W. Bush to the predecessor of Nicolas Sarkozy. While evoking the word of “peace”, Obama pays homage implicit to the actions of the former French president who was was opposed to the war in Iraq. An American intervention against which the future US president was opposed as senator, at the time of the vote to the Congress.
He dissed Sarkozy no matter what way one looks at it and it appears that Obama is pretending to himself that Chirac is still in charge.
Why hasn’t this gotten more publicity one might ask...thereagain...
And they call George Bush a moron.
“Obama is pretending to himself that Chirac is still in charge”
Perfect since he’s living in a fantasy world.
