1. Sen McSame going nuts ....all this was supposed to be his and Palins

[Jackeens]

2. LOL, I would guess Palin's choking on her moose burger right now!

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. Difference between Palin and Bruni: taste

You can dress up a Palin in Gucci, but you can't install taste in a 2 hour download.

[gmoney]

41. think he'd have taken Palin instead of Cindy?

I don't doubt Palin would be the "work wife" and supplant Cindy as first princess

[opihimoimoi]

54. McLimp would be another Bush...faking his way through. He revealed this trait during last campaign

America needs real Leadership...not fake crap from the Repubs...they have fucked America more than enough

[Hope And Change]

3. Wonderful pics.K & R!

[vaberella]

4. I'm sorry.

I can't get past the fact that Sarkozy's wife looks like she had a run in with a bad plastic surgeon. Her face looks weird to me.

[monmouth]

7. She's absolutely beautiful....n/t

[vaberella]

9. Yeah...not for me. n/t

[shagsak]

37. Agreed

She is stunning.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

57. She exudes warmth, like Michelle.

Pic #35 captures it perfectly.

[MoJoWorkin]

5. Michelle and Barack----such an elegant couple!

WOW Michelle is taller than the model! LOL

I love Michelle's outfit---Carla's,not so much.

Looks like one of those killer dresses under the coat. (I know, we love Michelle for all of talents, including her brain, but she just looks spectacular)

[Beacool]

21. Carla is wearing flats.

Michelle has low heels on.

;)

[elleng]

6. Great pics!

Carla downplaying her height.

How to watch speeches etc online???

[Kdillard]

8. Since she has married Sarkozy, Carla has worn flats to minimize

the height difference. I think both she and Michelle look great.

[Sultana]

30. Doesn't Sarkozy wear man-heels?

[HughBeaumont]

10. Looks like Obama knows who the President of France is after all.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/toby_harnden/blog/2009/03/24/does_barack_obama_know_who_the_president_of_france_is

Simply Stunning.

Just in case you were wondering . . . they really DO got nothing on "That One". NADA.

Obama's the kind of leader that's going to take the image of this country to new heights.

[tocqueville]

11. Obama knows perfectly who the French President is...

"The now online-only Christian Science Monitor reports that Obama was simply replying to a letter from Chirac "who was writing him as the head of his foundation - the Jacques Chirac Foundation for sustainable development and cultural dialogue".

Besides he already met him during his campaign

this must be Puma disinfo

[HughBeaumont]

14. It's Neal Boortz disinfo.

Much like his crappy flat tax/"the rich will pass the high costs to customers if you tax them" falsehoods.

[gmoney]

42. Boortz is pretty bad these days...

He posted a link to some Jimmy Kimmel doctored clip of Pelosi with Brad Pitt, during which it appears she removes her jacket, blouse and bra, while delivering her welcome remarks.

Boortz was trying to push it as genuine, or at least failing to identify it as a spoof.

He also did it with some clip Kimmel did of Billy Mays disrupting Obama's Leno appearance.

Any depths to which he won't sink?

This morning, a black caller referred to Obama as "my boy" in a conversational manner, and Boortz stopped him and said something like "If I called Obama a boy, I'd be in big trouble, so if I can't call him that, you can't call him that."

I think he does still refer to The President as "The Prezbo" and "Barry" from time to time.

Why do I listen to that shit? I dunno...

[asphalt.jungle]

40. well it's from wingnut toby harnden's blog, so what do you expect

his blog is all about posting lies/distoritions about obama to rile up the freeptards that post in his comments section.

[JayMusgrove]

12. Marvelous pictures! The crowd loves them, too!

I can't get over how popular that couple is, all over the world.

I love how Sarkosy took them out to shake hands with the people...inspiring!

[CBR]

13. Great pics!

Both women look lovely. Both men too!

[reggie the dog]

15. I am both French and American

these photos are great, both of my presidents, except that now the right wing asshole is Sarkozy from France. Never again will I have to hear "how did they vote for Bush?"

[reggie the dog]

16. is this as big as Kennedy in Berlin?

[Bad Thoughts]

22. Palais de Rohan is pretty small

It was built in the 18th century, after much of the center island had been developed. Getting to it requires walking along smaller streets. Having the meeting there means that Obama's crowd was hemmed in, not maximizing its potential size.

[firedupdem]

17. Beautiful! Love Michelle's outfit. Perfect! n/t

[mecherosegarden]

18. Again, many thanks!

This goes very well with my morning coffee! :yourock:

[Kukesa]

19. And add my thanks, too. Jackeens does indeed rock. n/t

[JayMusgrove]

20. She sure does ROCK!!! I love the pictures around #30

with the Obama's greeting the crowds.

Look at how thrilled the crowd is.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. That carla Bruni knows how to take a picture...yowza #28

:-)

[paparush]

36. Yowza indeed! I like the pic where Sarkozy has his hand on her rump!

:-)

[starroute]

38. Which one? I counted three of them

;-)

[shanti]

45. i believe she's a former model

n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. Yes

I know.

[gauguin57]

25. Chic-ity chic chic.

I'll bet the Wingers are going nuts (they hate France -- though probably like Sarkozy) ... and drowning their Freedom Fries in gin.

[TheBigotBasher]

27. I doubt they really know who Sarkosky is.

They still refer to Socialist France. Stupid bigots.

Great pics as ever Jackeens. K&R

[Bad Thoughts]

26. Sarko looks like Geitner n/t

[Libby2]

28. It is so nice to see our President

and first lady holding hands and touching each other.
Instead of king george always walking 2 steps in front of Laura.

[AyanEva]

29. LOL

Was there a memo that the ladies had to wear similarly cut coats with strange little neck ties? They both look quite lovely, though! :)

[PopSixSquish]

31. I Want Michelle's Outfit!!!!

Any pictures of the dress underneath? Who is the designer?

[Jackeens]

32. Look here:

According to Politico:

Michelle wearing Thakoon dress

By AMIE PARNES | 04/03/09 9:01 AM

Wondering what Michelle is wearing today? A Thakoon dress and coat, a White House aide says. Yesterday the first lady wore a Jason Wu dress and a Junya Watanabe cardigan, the third time she has worn Wu on the trip.

[PopSixSquish]

34. Thanks Jackeens!

The dress underneath is very pretty. I like that she wears such bright and interesting colors and patterns.

I can already guess that the next New York Fashion Week will have a very strong "Michelle" influence.

[Barack_America]

33. I prefer Michelle's outfit.

The cut is flattering and the little "pop" of color is nice. Also, the flowers on the jacket remind one of the poppies used to commemerate Remembrance Day and WWI. A fitting and subtle tribute to the sacrifices borne on French/European soil. It's not lost on me that the dress has the reverse pattern as the dress.

Carla's jacket is also lovely, but I wish she had added a bit of color. I've noticed that many of her outfits tend to be monochromatic and I feel that it ages her unnecessarily. It looks like she's trying to look older and serious than she may actually be. It's as if she's begging people to take her seriously instead of being herself and demanding they do (as Michelle does).

[Fleshdancer]

35. ROFL! Sarkosy grabbing his wife's butt makes me laugh

It appears we are looking at two very happy husbands. :D

[jillan]

39. Haha - that is too funny.

[bdamomma]

43. oh my goodness we are loved again!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoCalDem]

44. Carla's coat reminds me of a "housecoat".. I'm surprised at her choice

of such a bland, "nothing" choice..Maybe she dressed down, to appear to be not competing:)

[Occam Bandage]

47. I absolutely love Sarkozy's hand position + facial expression in 34.

[Tx4obama]

48. Hey Jackeens...

Take a look again over at
http://www.daylife.com/topic/Barack_Obama/photos/1/grid
and
http://www.daylife.com/topic/Michelle_Obama/photos/1/grid
several new pages of photos are up! - they have tons of photos up of Michelle minus the coat - the dress is beautiful.
Also, there are photos up now of Michelle in her black dress at the NATO concert/dinner in Germany this evening.

Two great ones:

Jackeens, love your blog!

[Jackeens]

53. Brilliant Tx4obama, thanks so much!

I had to go out for a few hours so only caught up late with this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8318195&mesg_id=8318195

Thanks a million for the links to those photos, you're a treasure!

[JayMusgrove]

55. Did you notice this, their ear-rings seem to match!!!

http://www.daylife.com/photo/04Pp65r4Uf0JH?q=Michelle+Obama

[Tx4obama]

58. Bravo

You have a good eye!

[Hippo_Tron]

49. Hate to be shallow, but Sarkozy needs to get a suit that actually fits him

Of course he is standing next to Obama who is incapable of looking bad in a suit.

[JayMusgrove]

56. French tailors for men's suits are notoriously good, he can't help it if

he's just 5 foot six.

[Hippo_Tron]

59. They can custom tailor a suit to fit you no matter what size you are

It can be a bit pricey, but the guy is worth 2 million euro.

[Fire1]

50. Jackeens, you did it again! Great pics. President Obama is

one handsome man!:thumbsup:

[alsame]

51. Michelle's face is #26 is the

most beautiful blend of love and pride as she looks at her guy.

[Thrill]

52. Heres one for you
