Sarkozy Says Obama is His Pal

Nicolas Sarkozy is hosting Barack Obama today and he seems to know which side his bread is buttered on. Look at him throw Hillary Clinton and John McCain under a bus…

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is offering Obama a warm welcome on the day of their meeting, in an interview with the conservative daily Le Figaro.

“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.

They will be holding a joint press conference. Maybe Sarkozy will come right out an endorse Obama. That will make Ann Coulter’s head explode.
