Well, I guess the French have elected a guy who carries his own water.
Maybe he should wear one of those “Don’t Hassle Me” tee shirts up their on the lake, like Bob Wiley did. (What about Bob?)
Hassling nosy AP photographers? I like this guy more and more.
On an unrelated note, can you imagine the stink if President Bush announced that he was taking a two week vacation to Tahiti or the Bahamas or some other foreign country? Yet Sarkozy vacations in New Hampshire, Blair used to vacation in Florida. Am I the only one who finds that a little unusual?
I’m sure what Sarko was saying in French to those reporters wasn’t a quote from Moliere.
I’m thinking he might not have been with his Wife, but that’s just me.
Bravo, President Sarkozy! Too bad you didn’t punch one of them while you were at it. Diplomatic immunity does have its purpose.
Wish our leaders had that much spunk!

His request was not unreasonable but he can't expect that people in the USA are going to understand him in French.
It is reasonable for him to expect that the press will have translators at major public events, but they aren't going to have translators with them everywhere.
If he wants to vacation in the US he should learn enough English to be able to ask to be left alone, or bring someone with him that can do it for him.
I'm glad the press had the professional courtesy to leave him alone after his request was made clear to them.

“The confrontation came Sunday afternoon as Sarkozy and companions were headed for open water in a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee when he spotted Associated Press photographer Jim Cole and freelancer Vince DeWitt aboard Cole’s boat, which was outside a buoy barrier monitored by the New Hampshire Marine Patrol.” Maybe Bob finally pushed him over the edge.
