ATTENTION MONSIEUR OBAMA

In an interview with the French magazine Paris Match and the cable channel
Canal +, Barack Obama praises the leadership of Nicolas Sarkozy the French President. Barack Obama thinks that he is an energetic man and that he is an example of leadership for other leaders around the world.
There is no discussion that Sarkozy is energetic and dynamic. But one has to see further than that especially when people think of you as the Camelot’s new knight (Washington Post 01/29/2008). You can be dynamic, criss-cross the country; you can visit factories or police stations that does not mean that you solve problems. I don’t care if a leader is dynamic or not. The job of a politician is to solve the problems not only talk about it.
So far Sarkozy has spoken more often than he has actually solved the problems of la belle France is facing. I do not know what exactly Obama has found with Sarkozy, but this is a man who asks the French people to make sacrifices and in the meantime went on vacation in Egypt and then in Petra (Jordan) in very luxury hotels the last Christmas.

Barack Obama said that he does not accept the money from lobbies to finance his campaign, so I guess that he will not borrow their private jets or yachts either. Fair enough. But Monsieur Obama the guy that you seem to admire with his new approach of politics is the man who goes on vacation with the private jet of Vincent Bolloré, an important French businessman. He borrows also sometimes his yacht. It is another French businessman who paid his last summer vacation in Wolfsborough (USA).

Sarkozy was supposed to give French people something called “Change” (sounds familiar?).
In a press conference few weeks ago he announced that he could not do anything about the purchasing power of the French and in the same conference he announced that the relation with his Italian former model turned pop singer girl friend was serious. Another example of “new leadership” is when he went to Africa in Senegal not long after his election to give a speech that many considered racist.
By the way the next time Obama wants to give his opinion about a leader, he should have a look at the latest opinion poll, as a matter of fact Sarkozy is more and more unpopular with his own people.

With this kind of faux-pas or if it is the kind of leadership Senator Obama you are admiring and looking forward to exercise, I would rather vote (if I was an American) for Hillary Clinton or the Republican nominees McCain or Romney( he is already a millionaire, I am sure that he won’t borrow the private jet or the swimming pool of a fellow businessman.)
