Oo La La ~ How very “presidential” of these two! Obama and Sarkozy sounded like two high school chicks discussing a rival last week:
I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” the French president was heard to say.
In response, according to the account by Arret Sur Images, Mr. Obama sympathizes with Sarkozy’s frustration, saying, “you’re fed up, but I have to deal with him every day.”
This charming little “tête à tête”, caught while the two thought they were off-mike during the G20 economic conference, didn’t receive must attention on the major networks, although it was all over the internet.
The presidents’ exchange is not only unbecoming, it’s darn disturbing. Especially considering the present state of affairs in the Mideast; Israel surrounded by nations that seek her destruction, and Iran inching ever closer to nukes. Does “World War II” ring a bell with these two clowns?
Sarkozy, whose government recently broke with Washington to vote in favor of Palestinian membership in UNESCO, must be stuck on “stupide.”
The Obama administration didn’t cast an affirmative vote for membership – yet. But, as a consolation prize they’re throwing $200 million – of U.S. taxpayer dollars – at the poor beleaguered Palestinians.
If either president cares to know the historical truth about this “conflict,” they should take a couple minutes to watch this video:
You might want to stop by Christians United for Israel, as I did, to send a message to Sarkozy via the French Ambassador:
Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t a liar, and Israel isn’t the problem in the Mideast. With all due respect, you might want to reevaluate your diplomatic priorities if you don’t want France to end up on the wrong side of history – yet again.

Poll shows Americans prefer Israeli P.M. over Obama 52.3% to 51.5%. Not a large margin, but it’s a start.
