Unpopular Bush meets with unpopular Sarkozy

Sounds great. Two highly unpopular Presidents meet with one being gone from politics in a matter of months and the other looking like a one-and-done. Yep, US-France relations are rock solid now.

The truth is nobody cares about Bush because he's gone soon and the Sarkozy is moving up in the polling but it's going to take time before people forget his catastrophic first year. Obama continues to get a lot of press here and people are definitely waking up to our never-ending campaign. Yesterday I was greeted by my dentist who with a smile said "Obama is ahead!" though I think that's because he wanted to cheer me up before the drilling started. (It didn't work.)
