Rats! He’s a global warming guy: “...United States has the duty to not obstruct the fight against global warming, but on the contrary to take the lead in this struggle because what is at stake is the future of all humanity. France will make this struggle its first struggle.”

Just to add to your point, here's Sarkozy's remarks to Americans:

UNITED STATES I want to launch an appeal to our American friends to tell them that they can count on our friendship in the tragedies of history, which we have faced together. I want to tell them that France will always be by their side when they will need her. But I want to tell them as well that friendship is accepting that ones friends can act differently, and that a great nation like the United States has the duty to not obstruct the fight against global warming, but on the contrary to take the lead in this struggle because what is at stake is the future of all humanity. France will make this struggle its first struggle.

Well, looking on the bright side, if global warming is all he has to complain about the States, then that's not too bad, but making this France's "first struggle". Woo, boy!

Look, Chirac hates him and Sarkozy is not Enarc. Sarkozy also campaigned to have a closer relationship with the US. France will still have its views, but that’s a lot better than what we’d been dealing with.

And another thing, over the past forty years, France has invaded Africa, sometimes bidden, sometimes unbidden and has consistently chosen the bad side. This is a moment in which we will hear non-establishment views. And he had 53% of the vote in a run off. That is important.
