Well, that's what happens when you "reset" relationships that don't need to be reset. He has routinely insulted and snubbed allies, while embracing enemies. I think France is just now figuring out what a complete disaster he is.
The need to "reset relationships" was high on the list of priorities after 8 years of Bush's idiocy. Could it be that the Republicans lost the Presidential race because our country was fed up with Republican rule and Bush diplomacy?
Simply repeating your desire, that Obama is a disaster, does not make that a true statement.........just your strategy.
I am inclined to agree with another poster who questions the credibility of this story. If true, other world leaders will be quickly condemming Sarkozy's opinions as Obama has done nothing, nothing at all to deserve the label "insane". Not domestically, not internationally. Unpopular = insane? Since when? One thing is certain, were it the other way around, the french would not tolerate, let alone support, criticism of their own elected leader from abroad. United we stand, divided we fall. We are falling and falling fast. That the very public implosion of the U.S. is because of the color of the President's skin ought to make all of us very sad. It should take something a little more than that to bring down the most powerful nation on Earth don't you think?
instead of the United States securing its vital energy future through conquest and war it will now do so by appeasement to some of the most violent and radical regimes on Earth, and as we can see exampled_____words allegedly by Sarkozy
Pretty comical, a Frenchman talking about a country securing its vital energy through conquest and war
And conquest and war are good because? Perhaps Sarkozy would enjoy a US invasion/occupation of France?
And just WHERE were all the whiners crying about appeasing violent regimes when the scumbag Libyans, KNOWN sponsors of the mass murder of Americans were being allowed to buy their way free of guilt?
Bunch of damn flip-flopping hypocrites!
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Such unprovoked hostility. One must learn to take the good news with the bad. You had your good news when the Oba-nutjob had his minions push ObaCare through. So why do you have such a difficult time with the opinion of one lone Frenchman? He's entitled. After all he and his wife have broken bread with La Belle from Hell and her sometimes paramour old what's-his name??? Given that informality of social byplay one would think he'd get a very reasonable impression of The One. As you know Sarkozy has also engaged him on the world's problems. It just appears that Mr. Sarkozy has good insight and can spot an egomaniacal control freakazoid a French country mile away.
P.S. - Your descriptive of the Libyans (above) may not be well received by the moderators here.
Which was they also sourced to a report coming out of Russia...So now they are claiming that the FSB(successor to the KGB) released a report to the Kremlin claiming that Sarkozy said that Obama is "insane"---or a close French approximation of that word. Hmm...funny how this new source seems to get all it's info on Obama from Russia---and it's also funny that no legitimate news sources have picked up on this story.
But it's worth it just to watch the usual teabag posters on here soil their trousers in glee as they chuckle at the prospect of the leader of the formally hated French calling Obama a name...And equally funny because I've met plenty of French people who thought Sarkozy was insane---which he's not really, I kind of like Sarkozy.
All wildly interesting, but not to the point of the post is it? Obama has demonstrated behavior that would give many people pause to wonder. To put it mildly, he constantly contradicts himself, which is a nice way of saying he lies a lot.
Why wasn't it just the other day when he assured the world that he had a deal with China on arms, only to have China say...'Not so fast Mr. America'. Now doing something like that when he knows he's making it up and should realize he's going to be outed publicly by the Chinese is ample evidence of IRRATIONAL BEHAVIOR. Just evidece for validating Sarkozy's comment wouldn't you say. I tend to agree with Sarkozy. The problem is even if we could certify him and put him on disability, look who is waiting in the wings!
Assuming facts not in evidence. There's no reliable information that Sarkozy has said what EUTimes claims he's said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And if I produced another "foreign" source, you'd likely say that nobody here in the American press reported it. The way they fawn over him I'd never expect them to.
Sarkozy said he was “satisfied” with the U.S. position on Iran, moments before Obama said he thinks that the United Nations Security Council will approve stricter sanctions on Tehran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon “within weeks.”
“We are going to move forcefully on a U.N. sanctions regime,” Obama said.
The French president does not believe U.N. sanctions are enough to stop Iran and wants the Obama administration to keep up pressure on Tehran even if sanctions are leveled.
Sarkozy has expressed an impatience with the process after Obama set an end-of-last-year deadline for Iran to respond to an offer to negotiate which has now long expired.
“The time has come to make decisions,” Sarkozy said.
I ony post this to show you that there is a continuing disagreement between these two and while Obama seeks to placate and smooth over, Sarkozy is more adamant and always gets back to 'square one' of the issue in contention. He speaks for many Euro leaders who have a similar view of Obama. Setting aside our obvious disagreement over Obama, one must recognize that the Euros history in WWII taught them the great lesson about the rewards of appeasing tyrants. THEY, NOT us...got the direct lesson applied by the syphilitic little Nazi paperhanger. That is at the root of their sometimes perception of us being arrogant.
Anyone who views this ongoing disenchantment by the Euro leaders with Obama needs to understand the historical reasons. They will NOT take a chance on the Iranians and want to stop them before it's too late. They don't hate Americans. They sometimes hate stupid American foreign policy that is willing to deal with one tyrant to get another ousted and our endless forays into nation building. They see Obama as the indecisive appeasor who thinks words can solve the world's problems. They are impatient with inpotent UN sanctions and learned that lesson with Sad*ss Hussein. Sarkozy will get very strident about ONLY relying on sanctions, bet on it.
A two paragraph snippet from a 3 page article that is very interesting:
Quote:
The Obama administration is warning that the danger of a terrorist attack with nuclear weapons is increasing, but U.S. officials say the claim is not based on new intelligence and questioned whether the threat is being overstated.
President Obama said in a speech before the 47-nation Nuclear Security Summit, which concluded Tuesday, that "the risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up."
Read that totally inane quote of his and note our own ADMINISTRATION officials think it hyping up a threat unrealistically. What kind of message does that send? It's get the Euros and others wondering if this guy IS some kind of nutjob!
I don't need the EU Times to make that case for me. That was merely a "grabber" as the NYC Madison Avenue crowd would call it..., just to get your attention. Obama makes the case everyday in his ridiculous foreign policy comments. The 'empty suit' is in way over his head.
