Carla Bruni Sarkozy Cartoons Michelle and Barack Obama: Carla Bruni Effect on Politics

Carla Bruni Sarkozy, the wife of the President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, launched her own website yesterday. She debuts by cartooning Michelle and Barack Obama, or not, with her own line drawings.

The website is confusing. Someone quotes "Carla," and it appears to be Carla quoting Carla. There are no author names attached to the articles, and a "whisper" by Carla, into the ear of Michelle Obama is cited. The conclusion: Carla Bruni Sarkozy has written every entry, or maybe not. There is a lot of third person writing with no attribution.

Her "gallery" contains her photographs and her own drawings. When you move your cursor over the drawing of Michelle and Barack, only Michelle is identified.

Bruni give Laura Bush a double-chin effect. She takes a few years off of her husband, Nicolas Sarkozy, ditto Bob Dylan. The Brits are not happy with her depiction of Sarah Brown.

In an article about being in Pittsburgh for the recent G-20, Bruni says Obama choose Pittsburgh to recognize the city's "reconversion to the green economy..." She said Michelle Obama "played" the role of hostess. All of the G-20 ladies visited the home of ketchep heiress Theresa Heinz Kerry.

There is something in French politics known as "the Carla Bruni effect."

French ministers are succumbing to the "Carla Bruni effect", vying to keep up with Nicolas Sarkozy's weight loss programme following reports that one MP was told to shed pounds if he wanted a top job.

Under the influence of his wife, a former supermodel-turned-singer 13 years his junior, Mr Sarkozy, 54, has been following a gruelling self-improvement regime and is said to have lost 15 pounds. He has dropped favourite snacks like chocolate and his exercise and diet is closely monitored by the first lady's personal trainer.

Sarkozy on Obama Ego Naivety? (Video)

Jack Kelly's assertions about his sources, and what they say French president, Nicolas Sarkozy said, may or may not be accurate, but I believe the assessment is spot-on, no matter who said it or didn't say it. What do you think? Is this Sarkozy's opinion: Obama is incredibly naive and grossly egotistical? More after the video.

Here are some snippets of Jack Kelly [featured in the video] writing at RealClearPolitics on Sarkozy's Contempt for Obama:

Nicolas Sarkozy was furious with Barack Obama for his adolescent warbling about a world without nuclear weapons at a meeting Mr. Obama chaired of the United Nations Security Council last Thursday (9/24). We must never stop until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth," President Obama said.

What infuriated President Sarkozy was that at the time Mr. Obama said those words, Mr. Obama knew the mullahs in Iran had a secret nuclear weapons development site, and he didn't call them on it.

‘President Obama dreams of a world without weapons...but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite," Mr. Sarkozy said.

What good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community?" he [Sarkozy] asked rhetorically. "More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe out a UN member state off the map."

Whether Sarkozy tagged Obama with "incredibly naive and grossly egotistical," or not, we can clearly see some statements we know he said. How incredible is it that France sees Iran more dangerous than does the U.S.? How unbelievable is it that France calls for immediate action - strong and meaningful action - and the U.S. does not? Maybe it is time to put all those French cartoons away for awhile.

Perhaps the Presidents are ogling ...a spider on the step, or a mouse running by, or the 17 year-old junior delegate from Brazil? Pick one, it's a quiz. I think that is Michelle Obama standing right behind her man [okay, it's not Michelle]. Obama and Sarkozy take a peek. See video update below. To use an "Obamaism:" One that that is true is...Obama always has his eye on the prize. Thank you to Politics and Finance

Sarkozy Admits Europe Cannot Avoid "Islamization"

In an interview with French newspaper, Christian Family, Philippe de Villiers quotes French President Nicholas Sarkozy as saying Europe cannot avoid "Islamization."

Nicholas Sarkozy

Philippe de Villiers, a long-time French politician, former Presidential candidate in that country and a current member of the European Parliament, recounts this conversation with Sarkozy (only snippets reprinted here. Note that this is a Babel Fish translation - a rough one).

Why are you focused as much on the topic of Turkey and Islamization? [Philippe de Villiers] Quite simply because we will see the first transformations of churches into mosques in the three years which come. In any case, it is what Nicolas Sarkozy said to me.

When?

I had a basic discussion with him [Sarkozy] in the Elysium with the last end of the year; he said to me: “You you have the intuitions, me I have the figures. And your intuitions are confirmed by my figures. The Islamization of Europe is inescapable. ” Attention: these is a process which will not be done instantaneously, but which will take a few decades.

Why this question appear to you does central [why is this question important]?

The majority of the politicians have a soft ignorance of what is Islam and propose to transform Europe into supermarket of the concurrent religions. Without becoming aware that Islam is not only one religion, but that, confusing the temporal one and the spiritual one, it imposes a right. But behind this soft ignorance of the politicians, there are those which know. And those which know wrote the green book published in 2000, which is a strategic tool of the Commission of Brussels.

You do not exaggerate dimensions of the phenomenon? Europe refuses its own demographic future.

Jihad Watch has a post up on Sarkozy's comments. Of Villiers comment above that Europe encourages a "supermarket of the concurrent religions," Jihad Watch notes:

It's all the more ironic, then, that gay rights advocates make such an issue of gay marriage while remaining indifferent to the Islamic jihad, or, if they care about the jihad, are still willing to throw overboard allies who may not be in lockstep with their social agenda -- that the Islamic jihadists, once in power, will treat gays far more harshly than Christian conservatives ever dreamed of doing doesn't seem to enter into their calculations.

Since Nicholas Sarkozy took the presidency, he has expressed the need for stricter immigration policies and such support appears to be growing in France. The Muslim population there is reported at six million, about ten percent of the population, but some see that estimate as low. What is known, is that about 25% of all babies born in France today are Muslim. This research says "France could be majority Muslim in less than forty years."

As elsewhere in Europe, second and third generation Muslims, often well educated, are returning to the traditional values of Islam. Holy War against all unbelievers and non-Islamic governments is one of those values taught by the Koran and the example of Muhammad that the Western liberal elite refuse to acknowledge in their calculations. Yet it is very real and will bring down Europe unless its leaders come to a realistic understanding of the religious, social, and political doctrines of historic Islam and take appropriate action in their immigration, law enforcement, and welfare policies.

We can look at every issue that needs freedom and liberty to keep it free and liberated and see that Islamic jihad will "throw overboard" all that we hold dear. Wake up America. Wake up Europe. I haven't given up on either of us yet.
