Imagine the outrage in the media if George Bush had mistakenly written a diplomatic letter to the former leader of an ally instead of its current leader. Sadly, but not so surprisingly, that’s exactly what President Obama just did.
The online version of leading French newspaper Le Figaro says President Obama sent a letter to French Jacques Chirac saying that he wants to “work with him” over the next four years.
Oops! Chirac isn’t president of France anymore. Nicolas Sarkozy was elected to that office in May 2007.
Obama’s letter said, “I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world.”
Coming just a few days after Obama insulted British Prime Minster Gordon Brown, this is apparently part of a undisclosed plan by Obama to alienate NATO members one-by-one.
In other diplomatic news, President Obama has also sent letters to Russian Czar Nicholas II, English Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, and German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck.

Serves those French pansies right, their much-loved messiah doesn't even know much about them.
Remember when obama was saying that Americans should learn a foreign language, perhaps he can use a bit of that himself, at the very least, get some fool who actually does so they can tell him before he makes a fool of himself.
Sleep well, America. We've elected an idiot. A dangerous idiot.
Incompetence abounds.
The scary part is...who'd he dictate the letter to? Cher?You'd think someone in the building would have a clue. Sarkozy has been in so long that he has shed his wife and is now talking about quitting and becoming a rap star.
I'm fluent in French. And from what I gather, this is a non-story concocted by the French MSM to target Sarkozy.
Obama wrote Chirac since he is the head of a foundation. He didn't snub Sarkozy.
The French MSM is making it look like Obama is snubbing Sarkozy because they think Sarko is a loser.
Outrage at this plays into the liberal French MSM.
