Did Obama snub Sarkozy? Or does he really not know who the French president is?

Hello Red, The State Department does not have authority over the Executive. The Executive would have to submit to such oversight or suggestion. 'Course, if this did happen as it was originally suggested (see the first response on this page) then I'd have to agree with you, that it is all but inconceivable that it is accidental.

Hello Destiny, This is a sincere question: Do you think that the puppet masters are the same for the different administrations? Or, are they factions playing tug-o-war with We The People?

I promise that watching the vid's is on the to-do-list, Destiny. Honestly, I just wondered if you personally believed that there are still warring factions, or if you believe that they are one in the same group.

They are the same. CFR, Bildenberger, Trilateral Commission. Not sure if I spelled that one right... but you know who I am referring to. These are the people who own the FED, and they are the ones pulling the strings. These are the ones pushing thew New World Order, and the Global Bank with the new Global Currency. The presidential races are nothing more than one big show to make the masses think they actually have a choice. Watch those videos I referenced.

Exactly.

Hello Peavey, Intentional or not does seem to be the question of the day, doesn't it?

Hello Adoniah, Schools, monetary dependence, nationalizing key components of the economy, the teleprompter ... all true! It makes ya' wonder who is pulling the levers behind the curtain, doesn't it?

Hello Jonesy, It's maddening, isn't it?

Hello Dhandwar, Welcome to MyLot. I hope that you enjoy your experience here. First, there are many categories for asking and answering questions. Your particular question may well be best suited for the "MyLot" category. You could have either asked this specific question there, or you could have sought out an existing question which inquires about the payment opportunities here at MyLot. Because you are new I will briefly address your question, and offer that other members might be more likely to ignore such a misplaced question, or to get snippy. I don't think that either action is particularly beneficial so here goes: Yes, you can earn money by participating here. The potential is quite limited, meaning that you're not going to make a living by participating here, though you can make a little extra income. Payments are made once per month, if you earn a designated minimum -- which I believe the smallest increment is $10.00 (USD), although I could be mistaken. The $ is deposited directly into a PayPal account, and you can either spend it out of Paypal, or have it transferred to a certified bank account. If you have other questions, or seek follow up, I will direct you to the "MyLot" category. Happy MyLotting!

hi would you tell me that which money i earn in my lot is this money i can have really in my house or in my bank account.

Hello Fortunata, I'm not quite sure that I know what you mean by "the 12s", though, I expect that you're implying a lack of maturity or experience? If I'm reading your response correctly, then I certainly cannot disagree with your suggestion. As for France and their 'treatment' of, or perception of the USA: I expect that the metro areas of France, as dominated by Paris, aren't so unlike our metro areas here in the USA. Metro's tend to be much more liberal than their small city or rural counterparts. Those French citizens who I've known or heard from on the matter tend to be much more Conservative than their Parisian counterparts, and thus much more pro-American, or pro-Conservative. Suffice it to say, Louis L'Amore is very popular in France, and he reinvented the American Western writing genre'. Which goes to show that American frontierism and American exceptionalism are reverred in much of France. So, as far as I'm concerned, most of the French are just fine.

Yup, that's exactly what I mean.

Hello Heather, I apologize that I have no answer for you. I've resigned myself to sewing a 'jester's cap' to keep on hand for such occasions.

Hello X, I'm not sure which is worse: intentional or not.

Hello Hotsummer, Please know that our government is designed to function more effectively than what is currently being demonstrated. There is a whole division of our national government known as the Department of State which is tasked to assist and provide guidance in this regard. Of course, they have to be asked and or communicated with in order to be of any assistance. Trust me Hotsummer, we're just as perplexed!

Hello Lilwonders, I definitely agree about England & France, as well as other foreign policy blunders. I have to ask though: in regard to your statement about 'friends with Iran', are you talking about the recent internet overture to the Iranian People? Or, Obama's campaign statments about Iran that he tried to back away from? Or, am I totally missing your point?

Hello PrairieStyle, Uhhh gotta' wonder ... why did we hire someone who submitted a blank application? Isn't it wiser to verify the information presented by a potential job applicant??????????

Hello Katran, Thank you for the warning and the update. In fact, I did perform my due diligence. Before posting this thread I checked all of the relevant wire services for any correction to the accounting. There were no such corrections or contradictions to be found in print, as written in the English language, at the time of my posting -- which was early this morning. I do see that this 'raw meat' does seem to be being diffused across the internet as we speak. The CSM blog correction is dated today, as is the Newser correction. Both of which appear to post-date my thread (the Newser source is dated just shy of three hours ago - at the time that I began writing this reply which is four hours newer than this thread). While CSM is a reputable source, in my opinion, they are still relying on another 'source', and have not offered any substantive evidence that the second source had access to the original letter. What's more, I have not seen any corroboration that this Obama letter was written in reply to Chirac (i.e. where's the letter written by Chirac to Obama?). Do you see what I mean, there are no additional quotes from the 'original source' presented to refute the accuracy of the first accounting. It's a matter of he said:he said. As such, it would seem to me that this is one to watch. Evidence, one way or the other is sure to surface -- it'll just be a question of when. Though, I will pay close attention for any substantive updates, and would appreciate any other contributions in that regard. However, if the second accounting is accurate, and Obama conveyed to Chirac: “I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world,” Obama is purported to have written." Then, I'm inclined to inquire about how specifically Obama intends to "work with" a disgraced foreign politician's foundation? Will any U.S. taxpayer monies be funnelled to the Chirac Foundation? Pinault was found guilty, on the heels of Juppe's conviction in 2004, and I still haven't found any results of the corruption charges levied against Chirac in 2007. Geeze, the more I dig, the more this sounds like Chicago. "Chirac has been bending the law for his corporate friends. Only a couple of months ago, Chirac decided that the French state should pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the state of California in the Executive Life scandal on behalf of François Pinault, one of the richest men in France. Pinault, a close friend of Chirac, had taken part in the fraudulent and illegal buyout of Executive Life through his investment company, Artémis." http://wsws.org/articles/2004/feb2004/jupp-f13.shtml

Hello Deejean, You make a terrific point. Although the Department of State is at the beck and call of the president. Meaning that they would have to be called in order to step forward in an effort to steer or guide such correspondence. As for the plain, old watching of such correspondence -- clearly many are doing that. With the glaring exception of the American media -- who have yet to report on this Sarkozy/Chirac incident.

Looked high as a kite to me!

No, I didn't see the 60 Minutes episode. Though, I've just read the Politico story about it, with video snippets. Yeah, that kind of disassociative flippancy ought to go over like a lead balloon. The snippet I just saw captured Obama's "gallows humor" comment and his declaration that Iraq is the least of his problems. "His problems"? Is this all about his presidential administration? Silly me, I thought it was about the USA and her people's problems. How could I have been so mistaken?
