Sarkozy welcomes America "to the club of states who don't turn their back on the sick and poor"

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"Welcome to the club of states who don't turn their back on the sick and the poor," Sarkozy said, referring to the U.S. health care overhaul signed by President Barack Obama last week.

From the European perspective, he said, "when we look at the American debate on reforming health care, it's difficult to believe."

"The very fact that there should have been such a violent debate simply on the fact that the poorest of Americans should not be left out in the streets without a cent to look after them ... is something astonishing to us."

Then to hearty applause, he added: "If you come to France and something happens to you, you won't be asked for your credit card before you're rushed to the hospital."

Yeah and you wouldn't be asked for your credit card here either...

This image that the world may or may not have of us, is just plain ignorant (even to some living here)...

I can imagine that the Socialists over there are so happy at their good fortunes at defeating the U.S. finally without military action.

You mean no one in Western Europe owns their own property or business?

The French have always wanted to invade America just so they could give our poor free croissants and chemotherapy.

...and they still haven't gotten over California Wineries beating them out in wine tasting competitions.

A Taiwanese soap opera was Tagalized years ago and aired on Philippine TV. The female protagonist learned that her crush has visited France before so she asked him, "Is it beautiful there?"

The guy replied, "No. There is dog poop everywhere, especially in Paris."

What a drama Queen. I say Sarkozy needs to figure it out why his poll numbers are so low and get his marriage straitened out before giving his worthless opinion about the USA and our health care.

Great. And now they want to import their dog poop here in the U.S.! Sacrebleu!

No not so, I was enlightened, I now realize that Sarkozy is a bigger dufus than I had originally thought.

Yes, because you have done so much clever research into finding out who he is and what he represents rather than rely on the caricatures painted in the right wing journals
