Looks like * didn't have to wait very long after Tony Blair's departure to find another sock puppet.

1. Yeah, I got that impression too.....

Its so hard for me to fathom how leaders can spurn the wishes of the people.

2. Sarkozy is sophisticated enough to realize that "friendship" between heads of state is just BS

It costs him very little to make public pronouncements, so long as he does nothing.

And the French people know it too.

3. And Sarkozy is one of the most unpopular politicians in French history

The unpopular president

From The Economist print edition
Nicolas Sarkozy may be newly wed but he is increasingly unloved

OUT went the Ray-Ban sunglasses, the exotic locations, the friends' private jets. In came the hard hats, workers' overalls and gritty factories. Nicolas Sarkozy carried out a swift scene change this week, visiting two French factories in as many days, in an effort to appear to be more in touch with ordinary life—and to rescue his waning popularity. He has reason to be concerned. In the past month alone, his approval rating has tumbled by 13 points, according to one pollster. The only other modern French president to have lost popularity so quickly was Mr Sarkozy's predecessor, Jacques Chirac.
