In his first interview with French TV since the inauguration, President Obama sat down with Laurence Haim of Canal Plus yesterday, before he left for Saudi Arabia. In addition to noting that French President Nicolas Sarkozy is a "courageous partner" for the US and discussing war and terrorism, POTUS also had to mention le chow francais."The American people continue to love all things French," President Obama said.
"What do you love about France, Mr. President?" Haim asked.
"Let's see, we've got the food, we've got Paris, we got the south of France, Provence, the wine," the President responded.
The President has as radically different an approach to French eats as he does to Foreign Policy than what was goin' on in the Bush administration, right? Y'know, with Bush II we had Freedom Fries, the Roquefort war and beef trade wars....
*Watch the whole interview here. The translators are kinda annoying, though.
