Priorities

Having dinner with your wife at a romantic French restaurant or commemorating D-Day officially with the French? Hard choice to make for our President it seems. I'm glad that when the shit hits the fan, Obama's marriage will still be strong. Remember when people on the left decried our tattered relationship with our allies like France? Doesn't seem to be much of a priority or big deal anymore.

(By the way, I couldn't find the original article where the French felt snubbed by the President, for not you know fulfilling his diplomatic duty and instead having a sightseeing trip. I did find the article I linked, which almost made gag a bit. I can't believe someone actually typed this with a straight face:
Media scrutiny of the family was intense. The French are confirmed fans of the Obamas, whose politics and elegant style conform to their ideal vision of the United States. The couple makes frequent appearances on the covers of French magazines. Michelle Obama, whose wardrobe choices are analyzed, gets an A-plus for sartorial glamor, natural poise and sheer intelligence.

Or this meaty quote, by the restaurant owner:
"I saw God before me," he said, "because I saw this smile that a million people have seen around the world. I saw her (Michelle) radiant. ... It's idiotic, but it's like that."
Yes sir, it is idiotic. Good grief.)
