Would like to post the snobbish violin music that comes to mind as I ponder this picture (BTW where's the one that just says "Snob"?)

The Obamas turn up in Paris this evening, but have declined a dinner invitation from the couple next door: the Sarkozys.
President Obama’s reluctance to spend more than minimum time with the French leader on his visit for the D-Day anniversary has come as an embarrassment to the Elysée Palace.
America’s First Family will not be dining with President Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni, even though they are staying at the residence of the US Ambassador, yards from the Elysée apartments where the Sarkozys spend their weekends.
Mr Sarkozy’s staff were trying yesterday to arrange another private moment between the couples. Mr Obama is due to fly back to Washington tomorrow night or on Sunday.
Mr Sarkozy’s dream date would be dinner somewhere spectacular such as the Jules Verne, an Alain Ducasse restaurant on the Eiffel Tower. The Obamas were reported on French celebrity websites to be planning a meal there.
A glamorous joint outing might be compared with the ones that President de Gaulle undertook with John and Jackie Kennedy in 1961. On that trip, Mrs Kennedy was such a hit that JFK presented himself as “the man who accompanied Jackie Kennedy to Paris”.
Failure to socialise with the Obamas will add to mockery that has greeted Mr Sarkozy’s attempts to stage the 65th anniversary of D-Day as a “Barack and Sarko show”. The media and Opposition have mocked Mr Sarkozy over Mr Obama’s coolness towards him, which is only partly due to his handling of the Normandy commemoration.
Mr Sarkozy has been pilloried in France for his failure to invite the Queen to the events. “The palace is fearing a snub,” Le Parisien newspaper said yesterday after the news emerged of the Obamas’ plans to keep themselves to themselves.

That’s just plain mean. lol
0be’s an embarrassment for a TOTUS who claims to want to talk out differences and develop international consensus.
Your pic of Chavez and Obambi makes me think they could be cousins or distant brothers. They look related (and indeed politically, they’re brothers).
Great shoes that Carla is wearing. A touch of whimsy with a rather sedate dress. Love them!
excellent point.
Obama had absolutely no intention of attending the D Day commemoration. A few weeks ago, they realized it would make a great photo-op for him, and he demanded an invite.
He cares nothing about things American, Western, or European. It is all about him.
The arrogance of Obama is dumbfounding. He is a guest of a sovereign nation and and ally, on the heels of a mild reconcilition between our nations, and he declines the invitation of the sovereign leader to join with dinner?
Are you bloody kidding me?????????????????????????????????????
Isn’t it the White House, not the Elysee Palace, that is bathed in shame.
I’m dumbstruck. I already hate Obama. Who is this ass? Just when you think he can’t do anymore damage...
Damn, you’re right!! And the Visigoths are at the gate.
His puppeteers are determined to have his face included in every event for the next 4 years. The legacy of the Great Black President must endure.
