Roughly, it says, “Bendenzee ovah, mes ami”

So what if it is a mix of German and French.

Keep it up, Odumbo. The more he pulls these stunts the quicker the voter challenged will see the light.

The translation in the posted article is correct.

Either O and his staff really are this stupid, or they’re trying to get a shadow government going in France.

It could be that he wrote Chirac to form a bond and knows he is not President. It is an incredible insult to the President of France if he wrote Chirac before the real deal.

I doubt it was addressed “Mr President” or whatever the protocol is for a letter to a Head of State.

Yes, he wrote to Jacques Chirac saying - “I am certain that we will be able during the four years to come to collaborate together in a spirit of peace and of friendship in order to build a safer world”,

The article continues...so writes the successor of George W. Bush to the predecessor of Nicolas Sarkozy. While evoking the word of “peace”, Obama pays homage implicit to the actions of the former French president who was was opposed to the war in Iraq. An American intervention against which the future US president was opposed as senator, at the time of the vote to the Congress.


He dissed Sarkozy no matter what way one looks at it and it appears that Obama is pretending to himself that Chirac is still in charge.

Why hasn’t this gotten more publicity one might ask...thereagain...

Next he’ll be writing to Reagan, Pope John Paul, or Maggie Thatcher discussing how to deal with Russia. His teleprompter is having a hard time controlling him.

Barack Obama a écrit à Jacques Chirac
Le président américain vient d’adresser une lettre «très sympathique » à Jacques Chirac, selon l’expression de ce dernier. «Je suis certain que nous pourrons au cours des quatre années à venir collaborer ensemble dans un esprit de paix et d’amitié afin de construire un monde plus sûr» , écrit le successeur de George W. Bush au prédécesseur de Nicolas Sarkozy. En évoquant le mot de « paix», Obama rend un hommage implicite à l’action de l’ancien président français qui s’était opposé à la guerre en Irak. Une intervention américaine contre laquelle le futur président américain s’était opposé comme sénateur, lors du vote au Congrès.

I think this is taken out of context. One of the on line comments on the newspaper's website says

"en fait Obama répond à une lettre que Chirac lui a adressé au nom de sa Fondation pour la paix et l'environnement. ce n'est en aucun cas du dédain à l'endroit de Sarkozy. c'est dommage que l'article ne précise pas le contexte de cette lettre

which seems to be saying it's a response to the Chirac Foundation.

Yes, I considered that but still think in so doing he dissed Sarkozy. It’d be kinda like Sarkozy writing to Bush.
