Just finished watching Sen. Obama's press conference with Pres. Sarkozy and I have to say this was a bonafide lovefest. Sen. Obama showed his humor when remarking that Pres. Sarkozy had a nose for politics since he met only the two presumptive American candidates during his visit to the US in 2006. He went a step further by joking that he would like to know what Pres. Sarkozy eats given his boundless energy. Obama flashed his humor again when warning Pres. Sarkozy agains responding to a loaded question on whether he had endorsed the democratic nominee after his effusive praise.
Obama and Sarkozy frequently exchanged friendly glances and gestures to each other throughout the conference. Perhaps this is not surprising as one reporter pointed out during the Q and A. They both are sons of foreigners, and both are young lawyers. However one worries whether the chumminess is a good thing for Obama. After all, Americans are not known to love the French!
