TOTUS Loses his Place While Giving Speech in France
Obama lost his place while yet again, reading off the teleprompter at the town hall held in Strasbourg, France. Will this guy ever give a speech without his binky?
Sarkozy (France), Threatens to Walk Out of G20 Summit
President Sarkozy yesterday threatened to wreck the London summit if France’s demands for tougher financial regulation are not met.
France will not accept a G20 that produces a “false success with language that sounds good but contains no commitments”, his advisers said.
How much does that second paragraph sound like President Obama himself? LMAO!
Asked if this meant a possible walk-out, Xavier Musca, Mr Sarkozy’s deputy chief of staff for economic affairs, said: “A basic rule with nuclear deterrence is that you do not say at what point you will use the weapon.”
The French threat dramatically raised the temperature hours before President Obama arrives in London today. If carried through, it would ruin a summit for which Mr Brown and Mr Obama have high ambitions, believing it vital to international recovery.
Obama’s Latest Gaffe (France Is Not Amused)
Obama recently pledged his friendship to France by sending a letter that said the following:
“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 issue is not what was in the letter or Obama reaching out to France, but the fact that Obama sent that letter to former President Chirac, not to the current President, Sarkozy.
Many believe this gaffe was actually intentionaldue to Sarkozy’s pro- War on Terror stances when compared to Chirac’s.
Nicolas Sarkozy is both offended and unamused. He has been trying to get a sit-down with President Obama for months, to no avail, and now this obvious snub.
Whether this was intentional or just a simple gaffe - it proves that Obama is either incompetent, rude or both. Ironically enough, Obama accused President Bush of burning bridges with allies and causing a lot of anti-American sentiment. It would appear that Obama is doing a very good job of that in just a couple months.
