I wish to re-conquer the heart of America
Posted by Kim on November 7th, 2007
French President Sarkozy is visiting President Bush and the American people, it appears.
“Freedom fries” are so yesterday replaced now by lobster bisque and lamb at an elegant White House dinner, where President Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday night officially opened a cozier chapter in U.S.-French relations.
Freedom fries? What are those? ;)
Bush toasted Sarkozy, who returned the favor in kind:
In his toast, which was considerably longer than Bush’s, Sarkozy acknowledged anti-American sentiment in his country by joking that his victory is proof that one can be a friend of the U.S. and still win elections in France.
Sarkozy spoke with passion about freedom and liberty and the need for U.S.-French cooperation in addressing terrorism, nuclear proliferation, poverty and religious fanaticism.
“I’ve come to Washington to bear a very simple, straightforward message … I wish to re-conquer the heart of America. I want to re-conquer the heart of America in a lasting fashion,” he said.
Keep on the path you’re on, Mr. Sarkozy- and you will win the hearts of Americans. No doubt about it. Just ignore the liberals and you’ll be all set.
Can you hear the frogs now??? (I can. Listen carefully.) Hear the ultra mega ribbiting?? Those are the liberal frogs who are upset with their new leader, who see the value in keeping America as a friend. I think I’ll give up Freedom Fries and fry me some (liberal) frog legs instead.

The “heart of America”? You mean all that territory Tommy Jeff bought from Sarkozy’s predecessors back in 1803? :mrgreen:
You can’t have it back, Sarko. We need it to fly over, and to grow much of our food. But on the other hand, with all its corruption and the entitlement mentality of so many Katrina victims, I don’t think I’d miss (the state of) Louisiana very much. And as a bonus, we get rid of David Duke.

I find it kind of nice to see that France has a leader who actually, at least pretends, to like Americans! Of course actions speak louder than words. Maybe we could give em Louisiana and give Spain, San Francisco as a peace offering! LOL!!!
Sounds good to me.

Just had French toast and french fries today for the first time in a long time! I’ll stick with the German white Spatlese wines however!

Sorry, even if France became our 51st state, I still wouldn’t like frog’s legs. They’re like eating a pomegranate: too much work for too little reward. Give me a juicy, rare rack of lamb, though…
