The Sarkozy quote is representative of Obama's middling treatment by the European media and governmental elite who view him as something of a pop culture anomaly and not one yet worthy of serious consideration.
I recall someone in here saying something to the effect, "Europe loves Obama!" and then citing American news agency reports from Europe which were somewhat in contrast to actual European news reports of the trip.
Obama is popular - that is not in dispute. Whether or not he is respected, that is very much in dispute.

Obama could look like a Ken Doll, woo like Ronald Reagan, speak like Winston Churchill, shoot like Jack Bauer, preach like Billy Graham, lead armies like George Patton, cut taxes like Grover Norquist, and walk on water like Jesus Christ, and the rabid ConCult would denigrate and disrespect him anyway. Why? Because he won and you lost.
Pathetic.
