Looks like the Obama charm offensive has reduced
Nicolas Sarkozy into a blubbering French version of Chris Matthews. Well, at least that's Jake Tapper's translation, and he admits his French sucks.
We'll get the official translation in a bit, but the read-out of what President Sarkozy said at his joint press-availability with President Obama was positively gushing.
Mr. Sarkozy, according to the initial and unofficial translation, was effusive in his praise for Mr. Obama and his "open-mindedness," saying Mr. Obama "wants to build a new world," and that at the G-20 economic conference the U.S. President "shouldered the burden."
...
"I feel very good to be with President Obama," Sarkozy said. "It's a hell of a piece of good news for 2009."
Meanwhile, Obama
continues to trash America.
At a town hall meeting here before a mix of French and German citizens, President Obama just discussed how the US has shown "arrogance" towards Europe and been "dismissive" and "derisive."
He's accusing people of being arrogant? Look in the mirror, pal.
