Sarko and most French were raised right, and know it is rude and low class to ever comment on someone's appearance in public.

Obama, OTH, chewed gum (!) at the G20 summit, and proved to the French what we all knew already- Obama has no class!

Probably not a joke but subtle racist intent since Sarky is white male.

obama has a telling habit of showing his contempt for other elected officials by referring to them by their first names, as well.

He’s a hick.

A bad joke by Zero is International headlines? How bought the fact that his Presidency is a joke??? That is more worthy of headlines than the fact that he can’t tell a joke.

Is a comment like that ever taken as a welcome joke by anybody?

Even so-called hicks have more class than Obozo.

You can bet it was Nicorette gum. Obama is an addict and can’t be w’out his nicotine fix even on public occasions.

So, applying the standard of, “not overtly sexual, but making someone feel uncomfortable,” isn't 0bama guilty of sexual harassment?

Wonder if old Sarko could have snuck in a jibe about the appearance of Obama’s Wookie wife?

I am looking forward to hearing the MSM outrage on the evening news regarding this slight. I’m sure it will be on par to Donald Rumsfeld’s remark about “Old Europe.”

BO and MO are an embarrassing disgrace and I hope the world understands that we are humiliated by their very presence and do not stand for what America is.

And feel free to give it right back to them when they open their mouths to insult you and your family. Just make sure it is caught on tape so we can relive your victory.

I’m curious how he will refer in the debates to the Republican candidate. Do we all remember Clinton referring to President Bush as Mr. Bush not President Bush.

“Easily offended” French thread slams into “Anti-Obama” politics thread on FR. Film at 11.

Is Moochelle with him in Cannes? I’d imagine she’d rather be eating ice cream on the French Riviera with her mother and 200 servants.

I have heard that type of comment made to fathers of little girls many times. I have said it myself. It is usually said to flatter a new mom or to tease a new father. BUT ONLY AMONG FRIENDS.

I doubt Obama & Sarkozy are friends, & the comment was inappropriate in such a setting.

How does a Frenchman commit suicide?

He takes a gun, aims 3 feet over his head, and fires.

"...and some observers who attended the meeting said Mr. Obama’s remark fell flat..."

Well, that's a first! /s

Has this flop-eared phaker EVER pulled one of these things off properly?
