Because of the global economy, the same currency (Euro), same problems... France has to be a team player and stop telling other countries what to do. We are all in this together and nobody is better than anybody. Don't get me wrong; I think France is still OK, with wonderful artistic, scientific... talents, but politically, it acts like a brat, always good at criticizing other cultures and countries...<BR/>That is the side I don't like. I am very aware of this<BR/>because I have been away from France for so long.<BR/>Betty of "la France profonde" posted about "smiles"<BR/>(french people never smile at each others unlike in the US where it is very rare when someone doesn't smile at you in stores, streets...). You could say it is because they don't like each others but I think it has become worse. Have french people lost their "joie de vivre"? Are they scared? It didn't used to be that bad. Do you think french people have an inferiority complex? <BR/><BR/>(I watched "Tell no one" saturday.

Bush is probably not smart enough, or way too out of it, to understand what is going on right now. Obama is doing a great job.<BR/><BR/>I hate to say this, but Sarkozy seems to be taking the Bush role in the world right now. He is so insecure about his place in the whole scheme of things...<BR/><BR/>Judy, there are many towns called Saint-Aignan in France. Ours is Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, in the 41 (Loir-et-Cher) <I>département</I>. There are 14 towns called Saint-Aignan listed in the Michelin road atlas for France.<BR/><BR/>Bill in NH, yes, isn't it amazing how the Obamas can do so much good for America and the world with so much ease and grace?Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-45139976901028159812009-04-05T17:51:00.000+02:002009-04-05T17:51:00.000+02:00Sometimes I forget to look on the right side of th...Sometimes I forget to look on the right side of the blog for "Newsiness". The comments reminded me to do that. I heard on my local ABC station a journalist commenting on the North Korean rocket launch. 6 times she pronounced NUCULAR instead of nuclear. Unbelevable! She is probably a fan of Bush getting ready for Palin to run (she couldn't pronounce nuclear either).<BR/>Seine Judeet, Bush doesn't read newspapers and probably doesn't watch the news either so I doubt very much he cares how the world perceives his presidency. The guy couldn't even walk and talk at he same time but probably he and his friends laughing all the way to a Swiss bank. <BR/>Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of spring.<BR/>Can't wait to see pictures of your herb garden.Nadegenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-71310849015819157862009-04-05T17:35:00.000+02:002009-04-05T17:35:00.000+02:00p.s.

I think that it was Britain's Brown who said something the other day about Obama's presidency bringing hope to THE WHOLE WORLD... geez... what must Bush be thinking when he hears this kind of thing? I wonder if he just sees this as political talk, and dismisses it, or if he has any concept of how the world perceived us (and the future) under his presidency?<BR/><BR/>I LOVE the grape hyacinth photos.
