Sarkozy: Obama’s my ‘pal’
Obama? He’s my pal,” the president told Le Figaro. “Unlike my diplomatic advisors, I never believed in Hillary Clinton’s chances. I always said that Obama would be nominated.”
Sarkozy added that an Obama victory “would validate” his strategy of reconcilation with the United States. His embrace of the United States has made him American conservatives’ favorite Continental politician, but he doesn’t seem to be reciprocating.
Today France’s new leader Nicolas Sarkozy gave a speech before Congress that was, dare I say, almost...Reaganesque. He called America “the greatest nation,” among other platitudes.
