Report: Sarkozy calls Netanyahu 'liar' (Obama AGREES, Caught On Open Mic!)

The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: "I cannot stand him. He is a liar." According to the report, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!"

The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders' microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

The communication faux pas went unnoticed for several minutes, during which the conversation between the two heads of state – which quickly reverted to other matters – was all but open to members the press, who were still in possession of headsets provided by the Elysée for the sake of simultaneous translation during the G20 press conference.

"By the time the (media) services at the Elysée realize it, it was on for at least three minutes," one journalist told the website. Still, he said that reporters "did not have a chance to take advantage of this fluke."

The surprising lack of coverage may be explained by a report alleging that reporters present at the event were requested to sign an agreement to keep mum on the subject of the embarrassing comments.

A member of the media confirmed Monday that "there were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue."

Report: Sarkozy calls Netanyahu 'liar'

Microphones accidently left on after G20 meeting pick up private conversation between US, French presidents. Sarkozy admits he 'can't stand' Israeli premier. Obama: You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly told US President Barack Obama that he could not "stand" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he thinks the Israeli premier "is a liar."

According to a Monday report in the French website "Arret sur Images," after facing reporters for a G20 press conference on Thursday, the two presidents retired to a private room, to further discuss the matters of the day.

The conversation apparently began with President Obama criticizing Sarkozy for not having warned him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinian membership bid in UNESCO despite Washington's strong objection to the move.

>> The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: "I cannot stand him. He is a liar." <<

Not to worry, Sarkozy loving freepers have ASSURED us that Sarko is "conservative" by "European standards" and that he's sooooo much better than Chirac (even though he's from the same party as Chirac, agrees with Chirac on every issue, and was endorsed by Chirac to suceed him)

If the pro-abortion, pro-socialized health care, pro-statism, pro-EU, pro-UN, pro-gay, anti-gun, man made global warming alamarist, anti-Iraq war surrender monkey, arab-loving, multi-married horndog, Netanyahu-hating Sarkozy is what passes for "conservative" in France, I'd hate to see their idea of "liberal"

I could care less if they elected Sarko and he wants to pretend to be our buddy now. F--- France.

I have a comparison.

Sark is to Chirac as Mark Kirk is to his House predecessor John Porter.

Though no one would mistake him for a conservative everyone thought Kirk was certainly to the right of the liberal Porter, but it turns out that is not the case.

The conservative press was dead wrong about Sark.

Obama would be right at home in the “center right” UMP.

The PDLRF (Président de la République française) election is like a race between Bill Clinton (Sark) Cynthia McKinney (the Socialist) and Lyndon LaRouche (Lady LePen).
