Sources Say Sarkozy Finds Obama’s Iran Policy ‘Arrogant,’ ‘Utterly Immature’

This reads like something out of Sweet Vally High…
“Oh my God! First he was all like, Obama is sooo immature, and then I was like, OMG, and arrogant too, and then he was like, who does he think he is?”
Pitiful.

really,
We don’t need to French to have an idea of how we must manage politically. If I remember well, Sarkozy is simply trying to follow blindly the Chirac administration and doesn’t care about world’s interests.

Who give a crap what the french think…Run there own country and shut to hell up.

When a Frenchman calls you arrogant, then you know you’re doing something right.

No one cares.

I’m afraid Sarkozy is expressing an observation that us rationale people have stated before.
Obama (D-ACORN) must be the Rip Van Winkle of our time. Like he has slept through all the diplomatic “soft power” efforts carried out by the EU-3, the sanctions negotiations at the UN Security Council, etc. etc.
But I suspect that Obama (D-ACORN) believes he can use his silver tongue oratory, equipped with teleprompters, to work his magic.
Yes We Can (oh really?)

The Iranians would make an ass out of Obama..and tragically so…just like they did Jimmy Carter.

This french guy is confused and silly. Listern to what he said. Iran has 40% for what it takes to make a BOMB. yet they will talk with Iran. They foolish refused to talk. has it change Iran? NO.did it stop Iran getting 40% of what it takes to make a BOMB NO. This french guy is foolisly blindly arrogant.When Iran get the rest of the 60% will they talk with them? NO They will foolishly fearfully attack Iran to spark war.. I am sorry but some politician are just foolishly dumb. no brains. If his country is spending trillions on evil war he may be get brains to to think twice

Sarkozy is a French Republican, no?

Roman,
Gird Your Loins!

That sums up Obama ‘Arrogant,’ ‘Utterly Immature’. Oh wait I forgot ‘corrupt’.
Dem for Palin/McCain

This just in……..
Obama (D-ACORN) will temporarily depart from the campaign and, with teleprompters in hand, will dissolve the Iranian nuclear weapons matter.
Hint: it’s the teleprompters

The decision is easy…
McCain – Commander in Chief
Obama – Silver tongue teleprompter reader

Vanessa,
Ever heard of protecting a source?

So, the point of this post is that an unnamed source CLAIMS that this is how the French President feels.
How could the Obama campaign possibly comment on that? There is nothing to comment on.
Senator Obama’s entire campaign is based on working together towards a common goal, domestically and internationally. So it would seem that these “fears” (if they even exist) are unfounded.
It is interesting how folks get all worked up about “preconditions” when the simple fact is, our Iran policy is NOT WORKING.
So, if we put our fingers in our ears and sing louder, it is going to magically begin working?
Ridiculous.
P.S. Funny how that arrogant, cocky, presumptuous thing always finds its way into the conversation about Senator Obama. Strange.
It feels almost deliberate, and yet it is completely unreflected in reality. Senator Obama has been one of the most gracious and humble candidates ever to seek the Presidency.
It is sad that basic competency has become something to ridicule.

And so it begins.
Clue: The French love to feel superior. They are a nation without natural borders and a very long history of being pillaged. That leads to the superiority complex.
But part of that is a tendancy to be right when making predictions. Sarkozy has to position himself as Obama’s critic to remain in power, but he also has to be right.
So now Sarkozy AND Biden are telling us Obama isn’t ready to lead, and of course, the left is now telling the French where to put it two months after lauding them for the last place it went.
As we know, the left wingers are hypocrites.

Since when have Republicans started seriously considering the opinion of any country or their political leaders -especially the French.
This is ridiculous, if not absurdly funny – Colin Powell and others are not respected for their endorsement of Obama (may be hard to swallow but it’s the truth)- but, Sarkozy is now a poster boy for McCain????

Not to mention that Israel CLEARLY has an agenda when it comes to Iran. No matter how respected this newspaper is, they are definitely not “unbiased” when it comes to Iran.
Haven’t we had enough of letting other countries manipulate our foreign policy? Weopons of mass destruction in Iraq anyone?

David,
A source also told the NY Times McCain had an affair with a lobbyist. Should I believe that story too.

As much as Sarkozy wants Obama to win, I guess he is starting to panic about what will be Obama’s foreign policies. It’s no secret that most foreign governments are hoping for an Obama win including the whole U.N. Why? Because they think they will get more out of us (money) and think we will not be the superpower we are now. They all sense a weakness in Obama, that’s why they want him to win. If the french, who have no backbone of their own, are telling you to worry about Iran, I think you should worry that there is more to it, then what they’re telling you.

Jake Tapper, you are so good.
We need to keep being fair to all candidates.
There have been lots of negative news about Obama not reported, or not reported enough.
We need to know the real Obama. If we don’t elect the right president, the country will not go to right direction.
We need to press Obama’s medical record (how many days? 500 days in campaign? he still not released?); Obama’s state regislation record, state senate record, small donors.

Hey S Adams, don’t worry, If Obama wins the election, they are going to have to put a revolving door on the White House to get everyone in and out claiming what was promised to them. I seen it happen in Jersey City, NJ when a mayor promised everyone the world.

At first, some foreign countries wanted Obama to win, because they see Obama weak, they can manipulate him.
Now, they are afraid, because they realize that all these countries’ benefit/interest are connected, bound together, if US is not in good shape, they will not be in good shape either.
So, now they are worrying.

Sources say that John McCain can’t even control his own Vice President.
Not a good sign for a person auditioning for Leader of the Free World.
Maybe Senator McCain should remind Gov. Palin that he was a POW. That’ll show her.
You betcha.

McCain/Palin BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN?? I will take my chances with Obama/Biden. Thanks but no thanks.

cardinal:
Sarkozy has seen what socialism has done to his country. He is only trying to spare us the same fate.
—————-
My mother said the same thing about Obama, so I asked her if she is willing to give up her Medicare/Medicaid, social security…etc. etc. oh ya, and McCains buying up all the houses for us…
This is socialism and we have been living it for our entire life. Oh, my mother said no, she did not want to give up those things.

Nashville_fan – It’s called freedom of speech, freedom to think for yourself, and being honest. Who ever said that the VP has to be the Pres Clone? Too bad Obamas campaign was more of the same. If anyone goes against “the one”, their shut down and sanctioned. If Obama wins, I can’t wait to see what the media will do when they don’t have McCain/Palin anymore and they start turning on Obama. Will he shut them down and Censor them? Will he start banning certain reporters because he don’t like their questions? Will he hibernate in the White House like Jimmy Carter did? We will see!

Why would any American listen to a French leader that is pro-Bush?

You know what’s the scariest thing about this election? If Obama wins and the House/Senate become turn 60% democrats, then 4 years from now after the democrats totally turn the country on its head, we are probably going to go full tilt, kick out the dems and go the other way and give the republicans the same power so they can totally turn the country on its head again. That’s why it’s good to have it split someway. BOTH PARTIES IN THEIR EXTREME, LEFT OR RIGHT, IS NO GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY. NO CHECKS AND BALANCES!

Sarkozy doesn’t necessarily have to be pro-Bush to be Pro-American.
Does that mean that we should listen to Iran and Venezuela over our allies?

“Not a good sign for a person auditioning for Leader of the Free World.”
It’s not an audition, NF. I realize Nashville being the machine it is can’t understand anything that doesn’t fit with it’s preconceived notion of being the Taj Mahal of redneckness, but please don’t embarass the South further with a bad education.
It’s called an “election” and it will be held November 4th. Don’t bother to change your strings before you perform. Just vote.

Nashville–I thought Obama supporters were told by their Messiah to take the day off next Tues to vote and work for him for the day?
One other question though, if the economy is in the dumper and America is a cesspool of debt and greedy rich people taking from the poor, as Obama has been stating for the last year, how can all these people afford to take the day off??

One of the things almost everyone agrees with, although reluctantly by the liberals, is that the Media coverage has gone overboard with their negative reporting of McCain/Palin and how Obama/Biden have gotten so many free passes. Just look what happend on a Florida TV station where Biden was asked tough questions. Obama Campaign has basically sanctioned that TV station, not for making negative or untrue statements, but for ASKING A QUESTION. The big question is, will Obama spend a TRILLION DOLLARS by the end of his campaign. Just think of what he can do with your Tax Money.

Isaiahcalif – That will be less than he’s spending on his campaign!

You gotta get yourself to a union shop S. Adams. Then you will have PAID VACATION! Pretty cool, huh?
Oh yeah, we Obama supporters prefer the title “Mr. President”, but if you prefer to call Senator Obama “messiah”, I guess that is your religious right, eh? *winky wink*
P.S. I see that 8 years of ineffective Republican rule has made you bitter. Don’t worry – CHANGE is on the way! :)

Sorry Will. I disagree.
McCain/Palin is receiving negative coverage because they are running a negative (and dishonest) campaign.
Simple as that.

“A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalist—Philip Gourevitch, of this magazine—that “we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

If by Change you mean, Marxism, socialist, dictatorship, then, yeah that would be change.
The word “change” doesn’t necessarily mean good.
Also, according to Obama, the low income people, which according to him makes up 95% of the population, do not have access to healthcare benefits. If everyone had a union, as you say, then wouldn’t they have healthcare and vacation pay? Then we wouldn’t need a socialist universal healthcare system and a “spread the wealth” plan.

Holy cow!! ABC is printing news now? I thought that went by the wayside with Obamamania. If the French think you’re arrogant then that must mean you’re WAY over the top on the arrogance barometer. And the Israeli are unenthusiastic about trusting the safety of the world to an inexperienced, extreme left-winger? Quick, send them a boatload of kool-aid!! I thought the whole world was in love with Obama. Apparently not…

Well, at least we can all watch Pushing Daisies on ABC, instead of viewing Obama’s “paid for pitch” on all the other networks! ABC goes Indie —

RADNOR, PA. — More than 75,000 Jews throughout the Keystone state got an email Thursday from the “Republican Federal Committee of PA – Victory 2008” that compares a victory by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., to Nazi victories before the Holocaust.
It’s pretty obvious they’ll do anything to try to win. Might that not include planting stories in the Israeli media?

Hello to all Americans, my name is Gabriel and I live in Honduras, Central America. An Obama Presidency for me is very scary.
Ever since FDR every US President except Jimmy Carter has had a Super-Power Mentality about the role that the United States needs to play in the world. Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama believe that the USA should be an Equal-Power not a Supe-Power in their relations with other countries. In a debate with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama said that the problem with the Unietd States, is that the USA thinks they are above everyone else, and that the United States sgould be at the same level with everyone else.
I have to Strongly disagree with that Statement. The President of the United States, the Leader of the Free World, is not at the same level as corrupt, narco dictators such as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
The United States of America is a symbol of freedom and liberty throughout the world, and if the President of the United States meets with dictators such as Chavez without any preconditions, then that kills any HOPE that I have that it is going to be different here in Latin America. That one day we will be able to live in a democracy that works and where we are free to express our opinions about our leaders and our leaders without punishment or reprimand.
Hugo Chavez is trying to destroy the democracy which has been so difficult for us to mantain, and in which many people gave up their lives for the freedom that we are still trying to achieve, one of these people was grandfather.
If the President of the United States, meets with these dictators, then he legitimizes that everything that they are doing and everything that they have done, is justified in the eyes of the international community.
Since I have no say, I beg the people of the United States not to vote for Barack Obama. He will make that great country of yours, that country that represents hope and freedom throughout the world, the greatest country in the world, he would make it weak and equal to countries such as Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. Please do not kill the only hope that I have in my country’s struggling democracy. Hugo Chavez is spending millions of dollars trying to cause a civil war here in Central America, and for our countries to go to the left and become communist. I beg you, do not let Hugo Chavez win this fight. Let democracy and liberty prevail.
Thank you very much for your time…

It is in fact Zero himself ‘Utterly Immature’ and ill informed. Sarkozy was just too polite.

“narco dictators such as Fidel Castro”
“narco dictator” . .. what the heck are you talking about? seems to me if you’re willing to twist untruths, you’re willing to twist untruths . ..

Sources….
McCain Campaign right????

“Posted by: Gabriel | Oct 28, 2008 2:29:59 PM”
Gabriel, thank you for your comment.
Barack Obama is exactly who we don’t need conducting foreign policy for the reasons you mention and for other reasons as well.
His own VP running mate, Joe Biden, warned us a few days ago that if Obama is elected, there will be a “generated” crisis to test his mettle and that his response would defy conventional wisdom. Biden then asked Obama’s supporters to stick with him during this time to help other Americans understand and support US policy.
It’s chilling, especially when you understand that John McCain will not be tested in the same way by world leaders because they ALREADY KNOW his response would not serve their interests.

Easy as one-two-three.
Ha’aretz: right-wing Israeli newspaper. Doesn’t like Obama one bit, because Obama looks at both sides of an argument, not just the Israeli side.
So Ha’aretz fires a shot at Obama. Who cares if it ain’t true – as long as he doesn’t get elected, right?

It’s chilling, especially when you understand that John McCain will not be tested in the same way by world leaders because they ALREADY KNOW his response would not serve their interests.

Thank you Cliff. Just hope we can get folks to listen in these last few days.
Maybe when they get in the booth they say “I just can’t vote for Obama”.

When international leaders call your positions “utterly immature,” then you know you’re unqualified to be the leader of the free world.
And to think Obama criticizes President Bush. Honestly, President Bush has kept the domestic soil safe since 2001, so if Obama asks if I want more of that I proudly say, “Yes, I do!”
McCain-Palin ’08

Oh..yes. He’s arrogant. Most of the people see his personality that way.
No doubt about it. he’s in love with him so much and at the age of 45, he has written (2) book about himself.

Sarkozy the same as endorsed Obama when he was in France.
Did anyone watch the joint news conference?
Obama/Sarkozy, July 25, 2008, Part 1

“LA Times Refuses to Release Tape of Obama Praising Controversial Activist
Video of farewell party for alleged PLO worker shows Obama toasting ‘friend and dinner companion’ with questionable past.”
The Los Angeles Times needs to put forth this tape please. It is anti-American NOT TO HAND OVER THE TAPE.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE IT AND SEE WHO EXACTLY OBAMA AND HIS WIFE ARE ASSOCIATING WITH.

LOL, a Frenchman has the gaul (pun intended) to label someone here as “arrogant?” What a joke. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

It sounds like some of the Obama supporters don’t like hearing that their candidate is being called out as “arrogant” by foreign leaders, which is something a large number of voters have been telling him all along.
He may be elected, but he won’t be representing the US as a whole. That’s his own fault.

OK,I can understand why the original source to the Israeli paper was anonymous, but why is the Obama defense anonymous?

Hmmm, so these folks on this blog are under the opinion that the erratic one can handle foreign policy affairs, who forgot Spain was a Ally, who suspended (not really his campaign) because after he forgot that our economy was not fundamentally strong,,,moreover and PTA hockey mom who can see Russia out her back door would be a shoo in to handle Iran, right the non intellectual, who is on the trail talking about her wardrobe expenses with Mz Bimbo Hesselbeck of the View! A hearbeat away from the Presidency with a candidate who appears to exhibit signs of dementia and the the judgment of choosing PTAlin over the US was at best treasonous, and incomprehensible. Yah sounds about right, and they question Obama’s ability? And he is the messiah? Well, she had witchcraft exorcisms in church. I guess his endorsements which excel over McPOW’s and folks jumping off this sinking titanic see what the folks with blinders don’t, his VP (very poor)pick. Maybe the naysayers and fans of Sarah should borrow HockeyPTA Saks Fifth Annie’s telescope, afterall from her back door of Alaska, why she can see her future in 2016. By then she can read up on how to become the POTUS on her terms, rather than to be thrust out in the public as a cheap stunt! Serves McPOW and campaign right for a cruel hoax! History won’t be kind for this joke!

deregulation was signed in 1999 by none other than clinton himself….next…
iraq was the right choice, the pretext was the wrong choice. but you can blame the UN for that. did hussein have a reactor in 1981? yes. the israelis bombed it. did hussein chemically erase the whole town of halabja? yes. was he in violation of more than 15 UN sanctions before any action was taken? yes. was he circumventing the oil for food and medicine program with the help of kofi annans son and redistributing it to his military and weapons programs? yes. The point is, europe is weak, totally left, never wants to foot it’s own bill…russia is vying for it’s own hegemony and resurgance under kgb ex’s…china needs irans oil…etc…and so the UN would never have passed a resolution to go into iraq despite all of these known violations..and so the bush team developed the silly pretext knowing it to be false so that despite the toothless UN, they would at least do the right thing even if some other countries didn’t have the will or the guts. To the democrats great shame, they all decided to swing to the hard left for political expediency rather than do what was right for the bloody country and world. I call that treasonous.

So, a French politician wants to sound tough and McCain supporters use it as a reason to cry against Obama. Anyone recall the beating France took in our Media when they did NOT go to Iraq with us? All the insults you kids are tossing at Obama are about the same as the ones hurled at the French government back then.

Getting the picture yet???

OUI!! From the Cajun band Poor James:
Obama No Merci Beaucoup.
He’s never met a tax that he didn’t like.
He hangs around with crazys like Rev. Wright
He’ll give away the farm without a fight.
Obama No Merci Beaucoup.
OBAMA NO MERCI BEAUCOUP.
OBAMA WANTS MY CHANGE AND MY DOLLARS
OBAMA SPARE MY WEALTH!!!

For the French to say this shows a lot about Obama.

if you elect obama you deserve it

Reagan is rolling in his grave

Obama No Merci Beaucoup.
He’s never met a tax that he didn’t like.
He hangs around with crazys like Rev. Wright
He’ll give away the farm without a fight.
Obama No Merci Beaucoup.

What happened to “freedom fries”? Sarkozy wants to be the new Tony Blair of Europe by following Bush policies, but he has already failed in his domestic policies in France. Check his popularity rating in France now! We don’t even know if he actually said what Ha’aretz calims.

So, even the French are calling Obama arrogant? LOL!
Even the French know!

In response to Gabriel’s post:
I agree with you. My family came here (escaped) from Poland in 1940 (those who’ve actually cracked a history book will understand the relevance of that timeline). It frightens and sickens me that a whole new generation of American voters don’t recognize the voice of socialism when they hear it. What’s more disturbing is that the older generation that SHOULD know better isn’t paying attention. They think they’re voting for a democrat. McCain is the Democrat in this race, not Obama. He is farther left than a real, America loving democrat ever could be. Your liberties will disappear so fast you won’t see it happening because it’ll all be “for your own good”..it’s ALWAYS for your own good. No tyrannical dictator ever took office by threatening people. It was always for good, happy, economical reasons. None of which ever came to pass. Please America, you’ve been a beacon of hope for a troubled world, for people who’ve risked their lives and others who lost their lives trying to make it to these sacred shores. You are the world’s last best hope and with Obama….your light of liberty will die as will our hopes.
Please wake up. Don’t make this dreadful mistake.

and Sarah Palin scares you libs?
As for the French overwhelmingly approving Obama, is that support coming from Free France, Vichy France, or a combination thereof?

The Iranians have shown that they are not afraid of anyone. What they lack in weapons, they offset with willpower. As for the West, well, never underestimate the power of denial. The Iranians feel the West, especially the UK and the US, humiliated them when they backed the Shah and helped depose Dr. Mossadegh. Extreme humiliation is hard to forget.

It is the most absurd manifestation of irony that the single state who caused a nuclear catastrophe in a twin attack on our earth now has assumed the role of the prime preacher in the nuclear field while ever expanding its nuclear weapons capability.
