Barack Obama has declared that France is America’s greatest ally, undermining Britain’s Special Relationship with the U.S.
The President risked offending British troops in Afghanistan by saying that French president Nicolas Sarkozy is a ‘stronger friend’ than David Cameron.
The remarks, during a White House appearance with Mr Sarkozy, will reinforce the widely-held view in British diplomatic circles that Mr Obama has less interest in the Special Relationship than any other recent American leader.
Mr Obama said: 'We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.'
The comments follow a pattern of coldness towards the UK. When Gordon Brown was prime minister, Mr Obama snubbed his requests for meetings in the U.S.
He also denounced Britain during his inauguration speech.

I’m not holding my breath or anything, but I do hope for the best.
Bend Over, Open Mouth, Insert Foot........Good Boy Obama
His wife’s pretty hot, though...

Let’s call these countries “friends”..not allies.
technically Obama is British, so he’s just demonstrating true liberal self loathing.
Or at least that's what the Russians said when they revealed a supposed secret French report.
It may just be a Russian fabrication, but this is beginning to sound like that puzzle about the tribe in Africa where everyone is a liar.
I think he was talking about Carla Bruni.
Boy’s got daddy issues big time.
Gee, where does this leave Israel? Oh yea. He has all ready dissed them. I guess the french are all he’s got left!

“His wife’s pretty hot, though...”

Easy to understand. Kenya was a British colony....
Apparently the word hasn't gotten out yet to the French people.
I’m not sure Bammy even knows where England sits on a map.

Yep...she is smokin hot. Good call.
