Our president wife, and yours

[Caen Fred]

I don't know Obama's wive, I don't know Mc Cain's wive... but I do not want to see Hilary's partner in the same outfit as I love to see our president's wive:love:

BTW and very seriously, what do you American think of our new President?

Be honest as we don't have often input from USA on that matter!:paranoid:

No birds name, please

I stay pretty aware of current events, but to be honest we here in the states haven't gotten a lot of news about your new Prez. Besides the fact that his wife has posed nude as a model.

News coverage here has been DOMINATED these last six months by our Presidential race. So I don't think most of us are too aware of things in the rest of the world.

Nice piece of eye candy tho!

So how is it going over there? Hey, Johnny, how's my old hometown, for that matter? Any good houses for sale?

I read something in the New York Times about it. Apparently the more deeply he gets involved with this model, the more the French president's popularity declines.....they just got married, right? That ought to be the coup de grace, as far as as Sarkozy's presidency goes.......

[Walter Moore]

President Sarkozy was reported saying kind things about the U.S. on his visit here last year. I am mildly surprised that he wasn't run out of office at the time.:cheeky:

I sort of like the guy, and I guess his new "trophy" wife is very pretty. I hope things work out for him.

[DeesZ]

I kinda like the guy as well.... he did snag a 'looker', and I think a lot of the criticism stems from jealousy. Carla Bruni is a fine specimen. American political circles are not noted for beauty (e.g. Hillary will never make it to the cover of Playboy).... Who do we have that turns the eyes? I find Condoleezza Rice interesting on one of her good days... Then there is my absolute favorite Katherine Harris..... Any other nominations?

OK...France wins on this one...tabernacle...

Personally, I think he is doing what is best for France. Seems to be a fairly level headed guy. I admire his taste in women. He made a pretty good impression on the American Press - even without saying anything offensive or derogatory about America. (they would rather have a lot of spicy conflict to repeat).

Its a pleasant change. For far too long the Professional Politicians have used Machiavellian tactics to divide people, gain and control power. American bashing in most of Europe has been a popular tactic used to divert attention from the real social and economic problems facing the ECU for many many years now. It seems that no matter how many times Socialism is tried and fails - it still holds appeal to people that belive they can get something for nothing, when most everything is being siphoned off by the powerful few.

Just my personal view, but it is past time Americans and Frenchmen realized that they are simply spectators in the Liberal vs Conservative Game. Paying Spectators - that are being constantly milked to feed the greed for Power that is endless with Professional Politicians. Spectators that don't get paid to pay the game, don't really benefit from it in any way, have lost control of the rules... and are in the process of losing more than their hard earned money.

If you seriously believe that you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Centrist, Right-Wing, Left-Wing or Green - - then you are a fool. You are just a spectator of the party, sucking in all the propaganda the Cheerleaders use to whip you into a thoughtless frenzy.

President Washington warned us all - in his Fairwell Address - so that we wouldn't be suckered into this BS .... but we've become so stupid... here we are. Hyphenated Americans being played one against the other, Red States vs Blue States.... France has it even worse... divided and subdivided.. Only the Powerful win, while Americans and Frenchmen lose.

Funny how the citizens of two Countries joined at the hip in revolution, can so easily be mislead to such low opinions of one another. Sad actually.

FWIW,

Pretty much what you would expect to find in the New York Times comrade. On the other hand if you follow the Wall Street Journal, you see that President Sarkozy is trying to regain some of the Billions lost in trade to the US. They need the money... Believe it or not, even my wife started buying French Wine again.

Sadly in neither case do we get any real Journalistic Reporting of factual information that would be of any use to us. Sex sells and if it bleeds it leads.... We've all become mushrooms.. keep in the dark and feed mindless BS.

just my perspective...
