RUSH: Yesterday at about this same time in this program we shared with you the details of a story in the National Post in Canada (the only place I have found such details) about how irritated with Obama the French president, Sarkozy, was in the way he's dealing with the Iranian situation and their nuclear ramp-up. And it was clear that -- we read the quotes from Sarkozy and things that he had said (that, again, were not reported here in the State-Controlled Media in the United States) he clear thinks Obama is an idiot. He thinks he's naive and he was laughing at him, but he's also very concerned. Now, there is an editorial today in the Paris daily Le Monde. Now, listen to this: "President Obama wants a unified front against Iran, and to that end he stood together with Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown in Pittsburgh on Friday morning to reveal the news about Tehran's secret facility to build bomb-grade fuel.
"But now we hear that the French and British leaders were quietly seething on stage, annoyed by America's handling of the announcement. Both countries wanted to confront Iran a day earlier at the United Nations. Mr. Obama was, after all, chairing a Security Council session devoted to nonproliferation. ... With the world's leaders gathered in New York, the timing and venue would be a dramatic way to rally international opinion. ... But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to 'spoil the image of success' for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde."
This is in the Le Monde, the daily newspaper in Paris, and the Wall Street Journal repeats it. So Obama thought he had this glowing aura after his brilliant first-ever speech at the UN, and he didn't want to spoil it by having to announce that after he had made his speech the Iranians were making a fool of him. So he had to delay it a day 'til he got to Pittsburgh. In the process of that, they allowed Ahmadinejad to have the stage in New York where he was, where he reacted to what Obama was saying.
You know, I find this amazing. So much is going on in the world. And, remember, folks -- and our news consumers are not hearing about it in this country, obviously. Now, remember we were told Obama's going to bring the nations of the world together. There's going to be this unity; there's going to be this utopia. We're going to bring back respect for the United States, and they're laughing at us out there! Our allies... Folks, I have to tell you when the French come across as having bigger gonads than we do, it's funny. It's sad, but funny. Of all people, the French, whose national anthem is the song Surrender! The French! And I love Sarkozy. Don't misunderstand here. But can you believe Obama saying, "No, no, no! We're not going to respond. We're not going to do this deal on the new nuke plant in Iran because we've got this great aura here of my great speech here where we promised no nuclear weapons anymore. I'm not going to go out and embarrass myself there. We're going to wait a day. We'll do it in Pittsburgh." It's all about him, and it's all about his image.
Remember Sarko’s recent quote about Obammy?
“Est-il faible?”
Most seemed to think that means,” Is he weak?” But there’s a more apt translation for “faible.’ Weak-minded, slow-witted, DUMB! That’s what Sarko meant, I’m sure. How many pics have we seen of those two, with 0 in front, and Sarko laughing at him in the background?
Brilliant. I’ve read several pieces on this, but Rush really ties it all together.
"It's sad, but funny."
They miss Reagan and John Wayne.
It’s sad, but funny.”
They miss Reagan and John Wayne
****
Heck... I miss the Duke and the Gipper, too.
Even the French are starting to miss Bush.
I’ll bet that the French people are thinking, “How could those Americans be so stupid as to elect Obozo”?
““How could those Americans be so stupid as to elect Obozo”?
Abdo-lutely! No doubt about it! At least in the higher levels of government, where people actually have to deal with the reality, and not the hype, of “Lil Bammy!
Rush just does it up so well! ROFL!
Don’t you remember at the first G Summit O’bozo went to where the whole of Europe told him he was nuts and said NO to every proposal.
They were literally snickering behind their hands as they smiled and clapped.
It was so pathetic I almost cried for my country!
Surrender monkey?
By the way, they were saying the same thing of Bill Clinton being an idiot, especialy during the Monica scandal... This has been long in the making and the US media keeps basking in this nonsense to this day.
THe only reason Obama snobed Sarko and the British Prime minister is because he knew he could not hold a conversation with them without embarassing himself about how much him and his wife are mental retards.
Not that the French are not retarded themselves, but they know a retard when they meet one, especialy more retarded than themselves.
Yes, and it's also about hidding his past and his bogus cornflakes Harvard degree. The guy is a Zero, except for memorization of words like a robot. If the world gets ear of how much Zero is a zero, the economy would be going completely catatonic. It's a freaking catastrophe. ANd Pelosi is not far from this bottom either.
I’ve had problems with the French over the years but is it possible that they now have bigger stones than Obozo? Sarah Palin has bigger stones than Obozo.
And, while they were more motivated by a desire to hammer the Brits than by an overwhelming love for us, they DID come to our aid by holding off the British fleet at Yorktown while LaFayette kept Cornwallis from running away overland.
Could it be possible that they will again aid us by saving us from the stupidity and folly of the very unfunny clown now infesting the White House?
History does repeat, you know.
Yes, of course.
But for France, the loss of the Cowboy is even more critical.
It tests their manhood not having the brash American to back them up in a tight spot.
Can you picture Barack leading an amphibious beach charge during
the Normandy invasion?
You can picture the Gipper or John Wayne doing that...
That's a big difference. Even for the French.
The French think he’s ‘weak’? That’s the bottom.
Everyone who was paying attention for the last 5 years saw this coming. It was clear he was not made for the world stage when he addressed the world as citizen of the world in Germany about all that “Hope and Change” rot gut and about how America wasn’t going to lead in the world but just be a part of it. Terrorists saw weakness, dictators too and they’ve been exploiting it ever since.

Thanks to Sunken Civ for the Ping.
“faible” in French means weak.
Sarko also stated, according many close to him, that he believes Obama to be dangerously naive and egotistical.
