If he weren't suffering from narcissism, he might have thought this through. Like he did when he gave an iPod of
So Obama decided to make fun of Sarkozy's looks the other day, cuz, he's so, you know, good looking and funny himself.
Anyway the Washington Times has the story of why the French are now outraged, not that we take THAT seriously.
“I want to make mention that this is our first meeting since the arrival of the newest Sarkozy, and so I want to congratulate Nicolas and Carla on the birth of Giulia,” Mr. Obama told reporters shortly after his arrival at the G-20, with Mr. Sarkozy at his side. “And I informed Nicolas on the way in that I am confident that Giulia inherited her mother’s looks rather than her father’s, which I think is an excellent thing.”
[SNIP]This a standard joke among American men; somebody has a kid and somebody joshes, "Well, I sure hope she doesn't look like YOUR ugly mug." It's a joke that men are supposed to take and play along with. Not very funny, but the sort of self deprecating humor Americans hand out to other American men.
But Mr. Obama’s remarks, intended as a compliment for the French president’s glamorous wife, ended up in the eyes of some Frenchmen as tagging their leader as an ugly man. France took notice.
Well, and, see, there's your problem.
Friends can tease one another.
For a world leader to do it publicly and in front of cameras to a leader of another country shows some really bad judgment and international relations, particularly when he KNEW his footing with the French leader was iffy anyway.
So save the jokes, Barack Hussein Obama.
Let your Hollywood writers feed lines to your teleprompter cuz on your own, well, you just don't measure up on the jokes front.
Your joking ability is pretty, well, you know, "special Olympics," if you know what I mean.
This is all that you can expect from the genetically inferior Barry " The Ears " Obama,this Kenyan egomaniac,who has delusions of grandeur and who considers himself a Statesman and World Leader,he couldn't lead a child to the bathroom without getting lost or preaching his Marxist BULL!
