Facing down Iran, French president Nicolas Sarkozy stood shoulder to shoulder with President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in Pittsburgh last week. Or so it might be said. The statements of all three were consistent as they denounced the Islamic Republic's construction of a secret nuclear facility. But in this stage show of solidarity, body language sent a different message. Obama and Brown really did stand side by side. Sarkozy stood apart, looking a little like he'd been asked to stand as best man at a stranger's wedding.
Perhaps in his gut he thought this should have been his show—or at least his and Obama's. The G20 that all were attending is a forum that Sarkozy pushed to create last year. And Sarkozy's government has taken the lead in confronting Iran over its nuclear intentions.

Good grief.
Compared to previous regimes, GB and 0 are at least a couple of steps down, while Sarkozy is a few steps up.
the author has a Matthews Mancrush on Obama.
The French always been like this, even to Bush. But with Obama, its an example of Obama’s star power. With Bush, its an example of him being isolated
As far as I can tell, every male at Newsweek wants to have sex with Obama.
There was a picture of the 3 coming out for the statement with Ozero in the lead. I really thought it ought to have been Sarkozy if Netanyahu couldn’t be there.
It kind of horrified me that I had to think that.
Yeah, but who has the hotter wife?
But I thought Zero had rebuffed Brown at the UN? Didn’t Brown have to chase our American Tsar through the UN cafeteria in order to attempt to talk to him?
Or was this another fabrication by the media?
Newsweek, get a grip. Ok? No one believes any of the print you produce. It’s like reading comics or sleezy magazines.
Besides, Sarkozy’s honey makes Michelle look like Clinton Portis.
Besides,
Once again, the kool-aid is flowing, and the spinning has begun.
Treasonous idiots.
Tatt
Deserves a barf alert. Newsweek is apparently giving up on making the One look like a leader who knows what he’s doing so the tactic now is to bash other leaders who have been more effective in the hopes that by such “affirmative action” that can create the impression that the One has a clue.
little boy obama can’t fend for himself. Newsweek to the rescue!
Sarkozy is right. obama is naive and needs to enter reality.
0bama envy. Ha!
Now Newsweak or is that newspeak has comedians writing for them.
ROTFL.
mmm mmm mm, if you thought that life was a pain
it was all real good until you try Hussein. mmm, mm, mm
Trying to read a liberal author’s “thoughts” is akin to slogging through their psychiatric confessions. It’s handy to have a DSM nearby, along with a handy checklist of common libthink disorders: yup, there’s the projection, and over in this paragraph a sprinkling of denial, and underlying everything a solid base of Oedipal rage....
At least Sarkozy is married to a female.
Obama stands shoulder to shoulder with the man who has during the last two decades been most responsible for the economic destruction of his country and the near total collapse of his political party.
And Newsweek slants this as a positive lighting of Obama’s international political capital.
Won’t be long before Newsweek’s management and editorial staff are no longer invited to the cocktail parties on the Continent and at the consulates in NYC.
Gallic Ping.
There is nothing that Obama has that Sarkozy would envy. Sarkozy actually has experience.
A man-child fascist with a wife who resembles Chewbaca. Yeah, there’s a lot to be jealous of...
Maybe he just loves big butts?
