Obama welcomes French leader to White House:

Talk about “birds of a feather”.

President Obama welcomed new French President Francois Hollande to the White House on Friday; an initial meeting that comes as world leaders feel a renewed sense of urgency to contain the European debt crisis.

The two leaders spoke for about 20 minutes in the Oval Office, covering such issues as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria — including Holland’s pledge to draw down French combat troops in Afghanistan by the end of the year.

I heard of being quick as a rabbit but these two world leaders only spoke for 20 minutes in the Oval Office and covered issues such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, which including conversations about Holland’s pledge to draw down French combat troops in Afghanistan by the end of the year. Twenty minutes; that has to be a world record.

I wonder if they had a translator or Obama spoke French to the new guy?

Fortunately the two world leaders have a lot in common and share a lot of the same values so the conversations should not get boring. They are both trying to “save“ their countries by way of indulgence. The term working for a living seems to be foreign to both parties.

We will have a wait and see attitude with the French guy, he just may do a decent job. That remains to be seen. Although, there are a couple words of caution he should consider going in. Francois, don’t let the American guy teach you any bad habits.

“I’ll give you her number later, people are watching”.
