French President Nicolas Sarkozy is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with the Obama administration. A Reuters analysis piece says Sarkozy is shifting his focus from the U.S. to other international allies.
Didier Billion of the Institute of International & Strategic Relations says: Sarkozy has clearly been thrown off course in his relations with America. Another foreign affairs expert, Bruno Tertrais from the Foundation for Strategic Research, adds: "There is an annoyance about what the French see as naivety in the Obama administration."
One major sticking point has been President Obamas softer stance on Iran, while President Sarkozy prefers a more hawkish approach. Sarkozy said last month: I support Americas outstretched hand. But what has the international community gained from these offers of dialogue? Nothing but more enriched uranium and centrifuges."

Hes not naive at all of course. Hes just pushing anti-American policies, thats all.
When did naïveté become naivety?
Well, there is tht old saying...10 million Frenchmen cannot be wrong...or something to that effect—neither can one aware Frenchman be wrong in such an obvious case.
Hate it when I agree with the leader of France, having given up on my own President. Go Sarko. Stand up for the free world, because our guy is too busy going around telling the world that our country sucks.
Why? Because zero is a moron...and the rest of the world knows it...not just Sarkozy.
Smug, you forgot the all important smugness. The French used to have that one but zero has surpassed them.
Amazing when you out-French the French.
“When did naïveté become naivety?”
Why does English have dots & slashes in a handful of cases?!
Words get anglicized. Half of the language was originally some other language. Why do we retain the foreign-ness in the modern cases?
Because of dictionaries, IMO. Dictionaries have turned the language into a more static, less interesting thing - we take those as the arbiters of language when they should only be a reflection.
Remember Sarko’s quote?
“Est il faible?”
Many thought it meant, “Is he weak?” But there’s another, much more apt translation of “faible.” And that is “feeble-minded!”
I also get a kick out of the pics of Zero in the foreground, and Sarko in the background, laughing at zero’s behavior.
Hmm, let me think.....I think it was last Tues, about 3 in the afternoon, but then I’m naive (and I don’t know where to go to use that special I and e)
Reminds me of - what it Chris Rock’ comedy bit? “The world’s gone crazy....the best rapper is a white man, the best basketball player is Chinese....”(I forget the rest) but he could add...”and France is more of a champion of freedom than America.” Sad days we’re living in.
Because we have trouble spelling diaeresis and accent egg-ooh!
All that Obamaloon “experience” is showing. Experience, that is, in crime, corruption, cheating, hiding one’s shoddy records (in both school and politics), shady friends (tax cheats, Pentagon bombers, communists)...etc, etc, etc.
Sure glad we didn’t elect that silly Sarah Palin who merely overthrew her party’s machine almost single handed. And was a governer...(vs a senator, which is right next to a t*rd in the pantheon of achievement).
No one fears a cow, and no one believes a lying dairyman.

Maybe rather than blustering, buster, you can coördinate a committee to remove accents from the matériel of the English language...
Naïveté coupled with arrogance, aggravated by ignorance will do the trick.
More “mendatious” than feeble-minded.
