Bestest President Evah

I refuse to believe this is possible.

There is simply no way that Barack Obama, President of the United States, did not know Nicolas Sarkozny has been the President of France for the past two years.

No world leader could be that daft, his administration so glaringly incompetent, as to send a letter pledging co-operation with a man no longer in office.

Then again, it might explain Obama's shabby treatment of Gordon Brown.

He may have been expecting Margaret Thatcher.

Update: Thank God. Obama was replying to a letter from Chirac and not blindly sending out a dim-witted letter to an actual head of state that could easily be mocked.

You know. Like he did with the Russians.

But he will get a "by".

He has nevah been held accountable in his life apparently.

I refuse to believe that Sarkozy was upset. I am sure that by now, everyone in the world realizes that Barry is a drooling imbecile with an IQ not to exceed 60.

Two Dogs, I wish that were true, but just look at some of the liberals' web sites and you'll see it isn't so.

I love this comment "The use of the word 'peace' was taken to be an indirect reference to Chirac's stance against the US intervention in Iraq, which Obama had also opposed as senator."

He became a senator in 2005. The invasion was in March 2003. Do Liberals think he has a time machine or something?

I've heard or read that claim dozens of times, and each time I hear it I mock the speaker.

And each time, the speaker confirms that he/she does indeed believe it.

Mr. Obama MET with Sarkozy in France during the World Tour last summer, when he did Iraq the German concert and then France, to buck up his sorely lacking foreign policy creds. Sarkozy even gave some glowing words for Obama. However as the election got closer, Sarkozy seemed more positive to McCain though keeping mostly out of the election contest, non interference etc. So maybe this was some sort of slight? Or maybe it just betrays wishful thinking by Obama's people, they'd rather deal with socialists whether in or out of power than centrists actually running the government.

Is the pressure of having finally attained his desired position and having to deal with the actual day-to-day grind and be held accountable getting to him? I know he's not stupid...but, I am starting to think he's becoming unstable...

Posted by: Minorcan Maven at March 23, 2009 05:51 AM

not than anyone cares. not that i'm alone, but after voting for Obama in the primaries I went neutral on him the more I saw. I didn't have enough faith in him to vote for him - much less someone - in the election. Now today, I'm not too far removed from a state of bitterly pessimistic, ultra gloomy, fearful resignation in regards to what's to come out of the current administration. What a bummer that America's savior looks to be a phony zero with a big, naive mouth writing checks that Jesus Christ couldn't cash if he had an umpteen trillion dollar, omnipotent bankroll. Grow up, Obama. The people who elected you -that you are sworn to serve- are losing their livelihoods. A generation of young adults (18-29) are coming up in a time when the only guarantee of a decent paying job is signing up to get maimed or worse in southwest asia. These kids have no reason to trust your leadership (or any of the BUMS in WASHINGTON DC), nor do their parents who may be losing their jobs or life savings (possibly both assuming they still have either), and meanwhile everyone else in the world is telling all of them that America is garbage, that Americans are garbage, and that we represent everything that is wrong with the world today. bummer man.
So, Chief, what will you do next? You already let Putin know that you're his bitch (for lack a better word). Iran (who we just fought in Iraq for give or take four years whether or not your willing to admit it) thinks your a complete sucker, France is now miffed again, and (as if all that wasn't enough for 2 gxdd@mn months) you still made time to sign away an uncountable sum of garbage, Keynesian, monopoly "money" to the most conspicuous, self gratifying, and remorseless CRIMINALS in America since whoever those guys were who killed all the Indians.
I apologize to anyone who may have actually read this rant. I meant to be a little better with the brevity. But I risked my life for this country more times than I'd care to remember on account of the last administration's crimes against logic/humanity, and I thought it couldn't ever get worse. Now I'm starting to wonder if I thought to soon because all this stuff coming out of the district gets more ridiculous every day. I hope not, but Gxd help me! Wait ... maybe ... Is this really happening? Could it be, now, that I actually MISS the good ol' days when a daringly simple, Yale educated man child from Texas ran things?
Am I right to have no faith whatsoever in our political process, in the leaders we elected, in the type of person that gets nominated in the first place? Have you ever really felt good about voting for any of these people? Can you, right now, be irrefutably certain that you've ever once seen anything in them that resembles an actual person? :(

And yet he sends a big, wet kiss to Iran that blew up in his face. I'm going with Owens', they think Chirac is still president because no other administration would be so stupid and behave so reckless and dangerously.

The "popculture" President should have remembered Sarkozy's wife-after all she is hot and fits the new template of the fourth estate.Also.does Mrs.Pantsuit have meetings with the President to go over who are heads of states?I also miss our 43 President,as the 44 President each day takes our Nation deeper into hell.

I really hope this is a hoax. Either on Le Figaro, or by Le Figaro. Otherwise, we're in much more trouble that we thought.

Oops. I must have hit post before I was finshed typing. Sorry. Won't happen again.

Posted by: Jim O'Sullivan at March 23, 2009 11:55 AM

Me thinks that the letter to Chirac probably wasn't a faux pas. Obama knows very well who the president of France is.

As for the wet kiss that he blew to Iran, now THAT was a smart move. He baited the Iranian regime and they took it hook, line and sinker. Now, anyone who was in doubt about the mindset of the Iranian leaders....never mind, those people don't count anyway. The thing is, Obama tricked them into showing their hand to the world. Brilliant move.

While I don't agree with everything that he has done and will do, I surely am thankful that Obama is our president, as are a significant majority of Americans.

He's the right man in the right time to help lead our nation towards a more socialized form of democracy........not to be confused with the true definition of pure socialism, Unfortunately, many conservatives don't understand the difference. Fortunately, more will understand in the coming years as we work our way out of the quagmire left to us by under regulated capitalism.

Don't worry, capitalism and free markets aren't dead nor are they going to be. Obama is doing everything that he can possibly do to save capitalism from itself. Lord knows, it has about destroyed itself! We'll soon be seeing some common sense regulations reinstated that breathe new life into capitalism and usher in much needed social reforms for all Americans.

Viva la France et viva Aux Etats Unis!!

Have a nice day everyone..........

But as a conciliatory gift Obama sent Sarkozy a basket of Class American Wines. Including Ripple (Pagan Pink), Boone's Farm, Gallo Chianti and Mad Dog 2020.

Posted by: zhombre at March 23, 2009 04:03 PM

Lets see. He has only been a community organizer before becoming president and has never been in charge of a company or business.

He went to Harvard, an institution that believes in quotas and passing along minorities without the same standard that is used for the majority of the students.

In the short time in office, he has proven to be totally incompetent.

If we make it through the next 4 years, it will be a miracle.

Did anyone bother to read the retraction made by the author of the original link?

Jim,

If they do read it, it won't make any difference.

What mindset is that? And who was in doubt about it?

Posted by: Pablo at March 24, 2009 11:02 AM

it doesn't matter that it was a response rather than an original message Obama sent out. the head of a government has no business treating with a private citizen of another country which is exactly what chirac is. the appropriate reply would have been "thank you for your concern, best wishes". there have been so many diplomatic screw ups you have to wonder if someone in state or the protocol office is sabotaging the big o or did he pull a travelgate and oust all the career civil servants that keep the gears greased.

Dude, you do know the prime mover of this credit crises was a government sponsored entity called Fannie Mae, don't you?

Pablo, you'd be surprised to learn how many people throughout the world are ignorant about the Iranian government. When Obama made a gesture to open dialogue with them, he scored a coup.

Rick, yes, I'm well aware of Fannie's role in our current mess. It's a shame that they and all of the other financial institutions that got us in this mess weren't more regulated. You'll see some changes now in regards to regulations, as it should be!

Posted by: Dude at March 24, 2009 05:35 PM

"the head of a government has no business treating with a private citizen of another country which is exactly what chirac is."

Never heard that one before. It seems especially appropriate for contact when the private citizen has a global non-profit foundation that helps get poor folks in Africa medicine and clean water.
I'm sure George Bush treated with any number of foreign private citizens who were fighting the AIDs crisis, and I have no doubt at all he did the right thing in making those contacts.

Should world leaders have shunned Mother Teresa? All private citizens. I think you're really reaching here.

Posted by: Jim at March 24, 2009 05:51 PM

Dude, my point is you should not lay this credit crises at the feet of capitalism, because if it was not for the government sponsored entity Fanny Mae we would not be in this mess.
