The jerk is getting married

Let's hope he stays away from the lake. He was a horrible guest.

Preferrably, I would say, Mr. Sarkozy, President of France, is getting married. I live in Wolfeboro, where he visited last summer, and the overwhelming cause of the hub-bub was the press and photographers. So, once you learned to understand that fact, he, himself, and his family were quite pleasant. They shopped, made lots of stops at restaurants and retail in Town, and, quite frankly, helped the economy quite abit.

The much talked about boating incident during which he gave a piece of his mind to another boater may have been a little near the top, but have you ever been to the Weirs and Paugus Bay and not wanted to do the same thing.

Personally, I'd enjoy a return visit by him and his to-be new bride.

Jerk......why ? What did he do ?

Curious, gossipy minds whiling away the cold winter nights want to know: is this fiance the same woman who was photographed with the Frog Prince on Winni?

Check the recent photo against the one that was in the thread last summer.

Could be, but hard to tell, her head is turned.

This should help compare the two women...

When does the number of vacations you take put you on the jerk scale? There is telecommuting. How many vacations are too many?

The jerk is getting married. Poor sportsmanship. Let him marry. At least he's not playing around in an oval office and fibbing about it.

Winnigirl · 01-14-2008, 03:07 PM

He married her over the weekend.

Trying to figure out why Jetskier calls him a jerk when he is a friend of the USA and actually spends some money vacationing here.

He came to the US for vacation with his girl friend. The issue is that he made the press by jumping into a press boat when they tried to take his picture. The press was outside the restricted zone and had permission to be there. I just feel that he acted badly as a leader of state and it is a bit unseamly to be vacationing with your girl friend and get upset when someone takes your picture.

In addition, I would wonder how much was spent vs. the cost of having someone like that here in terms of security etc..

If he marries Carla Bruni; model, singer-songwriter, heiress to an Italian tyre mfg. fortune...... (Ms. Bruni has a penchant for being associated with many men. Says "monogamy is boring" and had an affair with the son of the man she lived with...the son was married at the time and the two had a child. Let's see there was Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, The Donald, Kevin Costner and a former French Prime Minister.etc. etc. etc) I would guess that Mr. Sarkozy will be back next summer licking his wounds and sporting his next new girlfriend. To be continued.....

Worried about the french President. YOu better not vote Romney for President or we will be hassled at Lake Winni year after year with another pompus followed by photographers and news media watching his daily activity. Leave Lake Winni to the simple folks who yearn for peace and privacy free from politics and media.

jrc · 01-20-2008, 10:47 AM

"Wait until Romney becomes President on Lake Winni"

In the abstract this is scary, but I don't think he can beat Hillary. But should everything fall in his favor, can Laconia airport handle Air Force One?

Laconia Municipal Airport does not have sufficient runway length to accomodate a 747.

He'd fly into Manchester, and take a helicopter to the lake.

tis · 01-20-2008, 04:52 PM

He would most likely go to Portsmouth and then fly into Laconia or even helicopter right to his house? The former Pease Air Force Base has a great runway which I believe is still used by the NH National Guard. Bush lands there when he goes to Kennebunkport.

Drummer Girl · 01-20-2008, 05:51 PM

Air force One is any US Air Force aircraft that is carrying the President.

jrc · 01-22-2008, 09:08 AM

Yes Drummer Girl is right, I forgot that detail.

I was talking about one of the two 747's that usually carry the President and his entourage. I'm pretty sure Laconia and Manchester are too small. Pease is plenty big. Is there room to land a helicopter at Mitt's place?

dpg · 01-07-2008, 06:52 AM

His wife's welcome any time!

secondcurve · 01-09-2008, 08:32 PM

A jerk? This is the first French President in quite some time who has tried to snuggle up to the USA. He is trying to help relations between his country and the USA.

Redwing · 02-13-2008, 03:56 PM

Many thanks to "the frenchman's wife" for her very wise perspective and reality checks. She is right on target!
