Obama's Rebuilding That Overseas Love...
...One dinner snub at a time
The Obamas turn up in Paris this evening, but have declined a dinner invitation from the couple next door: the Sarkozys.President Obama’s reluctance to spend more than minimum time with the French leader on his visit for the D-Day anniversary has come as an embarrassment to the Elysée Palace.
America’s First Family will not be dining with President Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni, even though they are staying at the residence of the US Ambassador, yards from the Elysée apartments where the Sarkozys spend their weekends.
Mr Sarkozy’s staff were trying yesterday to arrange another private moment between the couples. Mr Obama is due to fly back to Washington tomorrow night or on Sunday.
Good gawd almighty, this guy is the most arrogant SOB we've ever had.

Probably wants to see how the shopping in France compares to Germany.

I find it I terrsti g that Michelle skipped Egypt, where she would have had to cover her arms, ankles and hair, but turns up in Paris. What kind of carbon footprint, not to mention taxpayers' dollars, did it cost to ship her separately?

And yet he bows to the Soddy king.
Good grief.

I respect your opinion,but screw Sarkosy. He's a puppet of the European union.The President of the US doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to.
The main point is Obama honors those who died in
the invasion of Normandy.They're important, a pseudo-
French ruler of dubious integrity is more important
to the Tri-Lateral Commission than than the USA.

Thank GOD for Obama!!!!!!!!
In 5 months he saved the banking and credit markets from going under (most people would have wanted them to fail and cause a depression....rich white people), rescued GM and Chrysler (otherwise both companies would have been liquidated), has made America the beacon of truth and morality again, appointed the first black Attorney General, nominated the first Hispanic to the Supreme court, he has ramped up the fight in Afghanistan, which should have happened all along, has gotten billions in more aid for Afghanistan (through NATO), he helped pass the consumer protection from credit cards (BIG THANKS ON THAT ONE), expanded health care to all children who have none, and will close Gitmo (Americas black eye) within the year.
This has to be the greatest 5 months of leadership since FDR!!!!!!!!!11
2 wars
Financial ruin
No allies
hatred against America brewing in all corners of the world
All before he came into office
YES WE CAN, YES WE WILL, AND YES WE DID

Well, since the weeMichelles are there with them maybe they just want to spend some time with their kids?

greg, the point is that The One claimed to be all about respecting our allies and rebuilding relationships overseas after that arrogant, rude, unsophisticated cowboy Bushy McChimpster. One does not do that by insulting the President of France in France.
This is a complete breach of diplomatic protocol.
But I suppose he'll give Sarkozy an iPod Touch with some Marcel Marceau videos on it and all will be good.

Tristan P, are you for real? Because my first inclination is to treat such fawning cultish adoration as parody. If you're actually serious, feel free to keep drinking the Kool-Aid, but let me know and I'll happily take apart every single thing you just said piece-by-piece. If that makes you cry, so much the better.

I wonder if he farted in their general direction as well...

(Oh, Julie! Bwahaha! His father did most assuredly NOT smell of elderberries.)

"Tristan P, are you for real?"
Probably not. Still, it's pathetic all the same.
