As Nicolas Sarkozy prepares for the hardest-won photo-op of his presidency – the D-Day commemorations on the Normandy beaches, starring Barack Obama, with the Prince of Wales and Gordon Brown as last-minute supporting players – he could be forgiven for thinking himself ill-used. What started as a mid-scale, bilateral event at the American military cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer (which is US soil, donated by France in perpetuity) has been successively targeted by the big guns of the Daily Mail, Downing Street, Sarkozy's socialist opposition, and the White House Communications Office.
Admittedly, Sarko's own intentions weren't entirely selfless. Yes, he is the first president since de Gaulle to pay constant and sincere homage to veterans of the Second World War and La Résistance (he was brought up by his arch-Gaullist maternal grandfather, a Jewish physician who was banned from practising during the Nazi occupation and had to go into hiding). But Sarkozy is also very aware that in the run-up to the European elections, held tomorrow over here, Obama is the ultimate arm-candy, a little touch of Yes-We-Can on the hustings.

The Schmuck in Chief strikes again.
So much for “Healing our relationships with our allies.”
He’s too busy healing our relationships with our Muslim “allies”.
Obama as well as the French President are spoiled rotten kids and I am sick of both of them and their wifes. Not a bit of statesmanship or class between any of them.
They are embarrasments to their country and the world.
With the exception of muslim leadership, is there a world leader this asshat hasn’t upset?
Ahaha Obama made the case for admitting Turkey to the EU.
Change we can believe in.. yessir, no more US interference in the affairs of other nations... thats right.
BO looked so at home in the Muslim countries. I wish he would stay there.
Obama disregards our allies and bows to our enemies.
Anyone still doubting his anti Americanism or his anti semitism?
...and this is, in turn, because he is the most abjectly anti-American U.S. President in history. An abject marxist ideolog with deep and disturbing ties to Islam.

Yeah, folks who would much rather that we burn.
Nope. He has even shocked Chavez.
I loathe this unaccomplished hack more and more each day.
You said” Obama as well as the French President are spoiled rotten kids and I am sick of both of them and their wifes. Not a bit of statesmanship or class between any of them.”
You are so right it needed to be repeated!
I believe Obama is on his “snub the west” tour. Obama seems to want
the Muslims to know that he is willing to cut alliances with the west.
The west isn’t quite able to believe what they are seeing.
How come dumbO didn’t bow, she is shorter than him?

That is QUEER, isn't it?
