USA invade Iraq, Afganistan(USA get out Russian by creating taliban,jihad,al-kada etc in 80's) next Iran to encircle Russia.KGB reports 9/11 was done by Israeli secrete supporter of US Govt. personnel.Free innocent, women are nothings to do with Anti Semitic.

[Oualtaire]

Why are you guys speaking in French to each others while it's obviously not your first language?

[jhuver3]

Medvedev est une poupee russe. Peut-etre t'as vu le film? Ni la democratie, ni la presse libre existe en Russie. Votre avenir sera mieux avec la morte de Putin et tous les villains KGB/FSB qui sont encore au pouvoir. Vive La Russie Libre!

[IslamIsTheEnemy]

Vive la France and may God bless America.

Defeat the left and the third world islamic hordes!

[Oualtaire]

Sarkozy is a shame for our country.

[kluc123]

after watching this interview a have such a big sympathy for Mr Sarkozy

[USA04July1776]

America and France friends forever!

[USA04July1776]

You're not French.

[coucougeni]

you are american and you want to do like french rascit,i was born ans raised in france so i'm french and proud of it even tough my parents are from algeria and i love france but it's true i hate our president because he is a"leche-cul"(sorry don't know how to say it in english)of the american gouvernment.

[USA04July1776]

I rest my case.

You're no French, you're a disgusting sand coon infiltrated into France to abuse its social welfare system like a hateful little parasite that you are. True French people LOVE America, because both countries have bled for each other's existence, independence and freedoms.

You're just an islamofascist. You're the enemy infiltrated into France and trying to get in between a century-old friendship that you know NOTHING about. Go to hell towel head.

Don't worry, you're next.

[coucougeni]

so why french people want sarkozy to withdraw the french army in afganistan,do you think it's because they love you?,no it's just because they don't care about you and your country so stop thinking America is the best country in the world.

You don't even know what french people think so shut up.

french people are really fed up of your country.

[USA04July1776]

Western civilization is facing two types of threat, first there are en foreign enemy which you are an agent of. You are from Islam, you want to impose Sharia law and live in a Global Caliphate brought by constant intifada, terrorism, harassment, legal law suits, intimidation, conversions and population replacement, reason why you are multiplying like rats. You hate not only America, but France and the West in general too. The other enemy is domestic, they are leftist traitors and collaborators.

[coucougeni]

you make me laugh a lot you know.

do you know that islam is the first religion in the world and if we were as mad as you think the world wouldn't be like that.

sorry for you but i don't hate france i only hate your stupid gouvernment.

do you think that there are not extremist in your religion?

you didn't answer me.

WHY FRENCH PEOLPE DISAGREE THE WAR IF THEY LOVE AMERICA SO MUCH?

[USA04July1776]

Because of bad press coverage mainly, because people are taking seriously anti-American leftist propaganda like Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky or Howard Zinn (all of them Americans by-the-way). It is only too humane to feel jealousy and suspicion toward the world's only superpower.

I make you laugh? Well, mocking people is the only thing that cynical mediocre individuals can do.

Islamic terrorism and fundamentalism is main-stream with Muslims, not so with any other culture in the world.

[USA04July1776]

This is not the first time in history that it has become popular to repeat the same cliches about hating the US government. For what exactly? For kicking out Saddam Hussein and killing terrorists? Because Iraqi civilians and Muslims and civilians all over the world are being systematically targeted and killed by Islamic terrorists?

Look, numb nuts, FIGHTING terrorism is not the CAUSE OF terrorism. America is right, history and God is on our side. The people you know are not true Frenchmen.

[coucougeni]

we are not jealous of your country,why american people think they are the best in everything,your country is maybe a superpower but don't worry china is waking up and it's certainly the reason why you want to colonize iraq,afganistan and put pressur on georgia and in other countries close to russia,you realize that you won't be the firt anymore and bush can not accept that fact.

[USA04July1776]

You are ignorant, that is why you pretend not to be jealous, but if you actually had a clue about the purchasing power, the average income, the comfort and opportunities available in the US, you would also think "what the hell is wrong with my own country!?"

China is rising, exactly, that is why Europe and the rest of the free civilized world will open their eyes to why we need to be strong in this crazy world of dictatorships and evil men.

Without America there is no democracy in Europe.

[USA04July1776]

What the French are fed up about is YOU! They can't stand the arab infested immigration, these punks destroying private property, attacking innocent people on the streets, intimidating free speech all over Europe. You are bitter about America because we kill the terrorists and say fuck you if you don't like it. I'm also sure that you hate Jews and are a HUGE racist yourself as a good arab muslim piece of shit.

By-the-way, today is 9/11, so take your hateful narrative and go fuck yourself.

[coucougeni]

"without america there is no democracy" i hope you're joking,it's thanks to the french that democracy exist.

your country is not as strong as it was

-your currency continues to weaken compared to euro

-you have no more influence in the world compared to europe.

-unemployemnt is rising

so i will tell you what the hell is wrong with your own country.

who are the evil men?

Is it ben laden and the muslims?

[USA04July1776]

Without the US, Europe and Asia would be half fascist and half communist, it is thanks to American sacrifice that democracy wan. As a supporter of islamofascist terrorism I don't expect you to appreciate that fact or to be fair minded and intellectually honest.

The $ is actually going back up for 3 months now, read a newspaper sometimes.

Europe has no military, it has very limited influence.

Our unemployment is at 6.1%, which is too high.

All those who agree with the terrorists are evil.

[USA04July1776]

Regarding Europe, Europe is not a nation. Get this straight you hadji. Europeans do not speak a common language, Europe does not form a strong union, it is incoherent within and inconsistent outside. Europe has no military force to speak of, they cannot defend themselves against anything serious, reason why America is left doing the dirty work world-wide all alone for over 50 years now.

Only strong people can be free, because they must stand up to evil men who use intimidation to enslave us.

[coucougeni]

who told you that i agree with the terrorists?

for you being muslim is being an islamofascist.

i think it's not me who should read a newspaper but you,you really need to open your mind,and you seem to be rascist.

i know america saved france during ww2 but it's the past and it's not a reason to agree with you just because you saved us.

EUROPE influence is growing.

It's people like you who make young muslim in france going to pakistan to fight with the terrosits unfortunately.

[USA04July1776]

Islamic terrorism happens BECAUSE of "people like me." In 1803 US Navy service members were taken hostage by arabs in Tripoli, when President Jefferson asked why this act of aggression against a young nation like America which had never bothered them, the response from the Islamic warlord was that as infidels we had no rights and could be kidnapped for a ransom. The US Marines were sent, kicked your sand monkey asses and freed our Sailors.

Personal responsibility: Muslims are responsible!

[USA04July1776]

Muslims are killing, harassing, attacking, terrorizing, producing genocides all over the world all of the time! Darfur, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Congo, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Israel, the Balkans, Russia, Spain, England, the USA, France, Germany, all of Islam including Iraq and Afghanistan... the entire WORLD is under perpetual attack by you pieces of shit Islamic savages! Oh but it's MY fault!?

Guess what you hypocritical bitch? Muslims are responsible for their OWN actions! Now fuck off.

[coucougeni]

what were they doing in tripoli?

THEIR PLACE IS IN AMERICA,RIGHT? SO THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

[USA04July1776]

We were in international waters you dirty sand coon terrorist cock sucker.

[3rdWorldInvasion]

Fuck you arab cunt! You don't speak for the French you dirty third world immigrant sand nigger! Those ingrate bastards that agree with you are just communist cock suckers! Fuck Islam, fuck all Muslims and fuck YOU!

[coucougeni]

thank you, you too

[3rdWorldInvasion]

Drop dead ninja-looking whore! We're coming for you, we know where you live!

[coucougeni]

i'm waiting for you gros con d'americain

[USA04July1776]

Je t'encule poufiasse de macaque degenere de bougnole de merde!

[coucougeni]

je t'es pas parlé pauvre con,je m'addressais à ce con de 3rdworldinvasion mais bon si tu te sent visé je n'y peut rien.

[USA04July1776]

T'as pas encore compris, salope, on va tous vous exterminer.

[coucougeni]

mais bien sur, j'en tremble grave là tu peux le voir.

[USA04July1776]

Tes pieds trembleront quand le cable de piano coupe ta gorge.

[coucougeni]

c'est quoi ca une expression anglaise ou americaine parceque j'ai rien compris.

[USA04July1776]

T'as rien pige parce que comme tous les sales bougnoles, t'es stupide.

[coucougeni]

je te remercie gracieusement pour ce compliment,en plus comme ca ca nous fait un point commun.

[coucougeni]

faut éviter d'utiliser les traductions sur internet ca ne marche pas tjrs bien.

la preuve par toi.

[coucougeni]

je t'es pas parlé pauvre con,je m'addressais à ce con de 3rdworldinvasion mais bon si tu te sent visé je n'y peut rien.

[USA04July1776]

Je t'encule poufiasse de musulmane puante.

[coucougeni]

moi de même

[3rdWorldInvasion]

Shut your fucking whole disgusting muzzie sand nigger whore semen swallower!

[coucougeni]

whouuu un americain qui donne des ordres ca m'aurait pas étonné tiens bizarre nan

[USA04July1776]

Fuck off sand coon.

[patio87]

USA04July1776, I want to have your babies. I would cut off my left testicle for a quarter of your intellect.

[PatriotMcCain]

I can't fucking STAND muslims. Kill all Muslims... all of them. Europe is next.

Nuke their ass, take the gas.

[JadeDAngelo]

"Patriot McCain" is a very fitting name for this comment: xenophobic, ignorant and no connection whatsoever to the content of the video. This is a potential Bush voter :)))).

[PatriotMcCain]

Catch AIDS and go fuck your entire family, bitch.

[USA04July1776]

Vive la France, God bless America, and a prosperous Presidency for Sarkozy, I hope he can achieve his reforms fully, and bring France's socialist system to the 21st Century.

[bellela]

What a arrogant asshole! "I have been number one for 5 years!" France is run by thugs now thanks to Sarkozy!

[camselle]

Thank GOD he beat Royal!!! Vive Sarkozy!!!!

[BigStick3456]

Royal is very attractive, no doubt about it. Make-up, or no, charm is on her side. Her views are pretty gross, but hey; who cares..

[Whoo69]

Damn! Segolene Royale is pretty good-looking for a candidate. Too bad we never have anyone that young run. It's usually old white people. Are most of the women who run in France that young?

[Whoo69]

It's a shame Sarkozy hasn't been able to get much real reform yet since his election. He better get on the ball immediately and start getting shit done! France's youth, esp., need employer reform. Their esp. high rate of unemployment is unacceptable! France does NOT need to make it impossible to fire workers.  What they need to do is have skilled workers who CAN'T be fired because they're too valuable an asset. If you have incompetent workers, the best thing to do is fire them.

[randall2020]

In less than a year, Sarko 1st is down to 38% approval rating. Even one of his right-wing allies, former Minister François Léotard, has dumped him. In a recent book and interviews, Léotard says that he doesn't sleep well at night for having voted for Sarkozy.

[LuaBloe]

No no no, YOU, Sarko, might be very good friends w/ Bush; but you have no fucking right to speak in the name of all the French, for fucks' sake!

And no, 'we'are not *friends*, you two guys are friends. I'm friends with Americans who say FUCK U to Bush. That is, NOT with Bush, not with US politics.

I was proud to be French when France refused to attack Iraq. This was smth to be proud of.

Now i just feel ashamed of that fucker salesman blabbering bedtime stories to butter up i don't know who.F U

[pignonMZ6]

Grow the fuck up.

[neolamanite]

I like this guy! He seem to have very well grounded ideas.

[inishee]

"An hour with Sarkozy"

Charlie Rose was so lucky...

We've got to put up with him for 5 years!

The guy is just an arrogant opportunist lier.

[helenofithaca]

I found Charlie Rose to be very smug and arrogant while he was interviewing Sarkozy.

[TheBlairKing]

I do like that he wants to strengthen France/American relations. I would probably be called a Libertarian. Though becuase I do not live in France, I do not realy have all the facts.

[goodroger1988]

Je ne connais pas très bien la politique de la France et je me considère une personne liberale mais ce qu'il dit à propos de la vie et ce qu'on devrait faire pour obtenir le bonheur est extrêmement vrais. C'est-a-dire, il me fait sentir mieux parce que, je pense, il croit en la force de la personne elle-même. Peut-être que je me sens comme ça parce que j'suis encore jeune. Néanmoins, je suppose qu'on verra si il sera capable et effectif comme le président de la France...

[TheFlash123]

OK, I dont know much about French politics so can someone tell me why so many people hate him? What is with the anti-sarko groups? Why are they so against him?

[Kuchlenz]

Part One -

Although he'd be considered a moderate Democrat in the U.S., he is considered 'right-wing' in France. He wants to scrap the 35-hour work week and allow people to choose whether they want to work more or not. Certain government employees (Subway drivers, Opera singers) were allowed to retire at 50 on full pay because these were considered traditionally 'dangerous' professions.

[Kuchlenz]

Part Two -

He is for law and order and called the rioters who were burning cars for three weeks 'scum' (40,000 car-b-ques, including a women who burned alive in a bus, happened in 2006). However, he also wants to institute affirmative action in France so that French Arabs get more work.

He's also 1/4 Jewish, has a Hungarian last name and is only 5'5" tall. He didn't go to the traditional French elite schools but worked his way up.

He threatens the status quo.

[TheFlash123]

Only 5'5"? No wonder so many people hate him lol. Thanks for clearing some things up.

One more question though, is he criticised more harshly because of being 1/4 jewish, having a Hungarian name and being 5'5" tall?

[Kuchlenz]

Antisemitism never really goes away in Europe. Plus they are flooded with Arabs who aren't integrating. The socialists pander to them with more understanding. Sarkozy has said they need to learn French and obey French laws (no polygamy, Female genital mutilation, honor killings). He makes perfect sense to American ears but sounds like a caveman to Europeans!

[DidUSaySarcastic]

Part 1 : This got nothing to do with it. People judge him on his political views and what he's going to do for France. They criticize him right now because he made a lot of promises during his run for France's presidency. No wonder people are kinda disappointed..when you don't keep your words and mess with their country's state or its image internationally speaking; it would be strange if they didn't react!

[DidUSaySarcastic]

Part 2 : Besides, back in 2006 when those "riots" took place, he had a very offensive attitude towards France's youth. He called some of them "racaille", which is a very strong word!

They got to do something back then...I mean, it's not ok to burn cars or be violent, but sometimes there's nothing else you can do to make people listen to you..I'm thinking about France's Revolution in 1789 which did a lot for our democracy but it was also a very bloody time, with the terror; or May 1968..

[DidUSaySarcastic]

So I think he shouldn't have said that, he even said he was going to cleanse them off of France with Karcher!! That's very insulting. Anyways to answer your question, that's definitely not because he's half jewish or half hungarian or even a short person that he's being criticized.

[Whoo69]

If you ask me, all those car-burners and rioters should've been deported! I'm sure that's what Sarkozy really wanted to do to teach these fanatics a lesson. France gave them the opportunity to become citizens and work, and then they screw it up and spit on it like that?? There's no excuse for fucking up other people's private property and causing riots. It's criminal!! The French Revolution was only a 'revolution' insomuch as it implanted the idea of democracy into the culture

[randall2020]

It is funny, because the company Kärcher received the contract to clean Mount Rushmore, which it did last year.

[einc70]

It's basically a political battle between the right & left wings. He's republican which is part of the right wing. So right now, the socialist French party has lost most considerably in the poll and they use any opportunity to lower his rating... PLus he wants to reform a lot of things which displeased some people & some other things...

[JadeDAngelo]

I know many people don't like Sarkozy. I personally think he's an exceptionally intelligent person who has the will and energy to be the French president. Some dislike him for the way he seems to resolve issues, but unlike a lot of other politicians, he doesn't hide behind politically correct phrases and diplomatic excuses when addressing a problem.

Oh, and by the way, hating Sarkozy because of his ethnicity shows a really low level of understanding, to say the least.

[ericssson]

Nicolas Sarkozy is the KING now

and for 16NEC fuck off

[16NEC]

keske ten C ke js8 arabe??? js8 un français aisé mé sa me fé chié de voir des en dormir dehor en pleine hiver, C bocou plu importan de parlé de bruni é sarkozy sa C sur bande de cons!!!

[16NEC]

fuck sarko!!! attention la france est en danger!!!

[Minekom2007]

encore un arabe qui pleure !! pleure pas tu vas les garder tes papiers!!

[Dewtrell]

I am in no way a fan of George Bush. Given that I have had 7 plus years exposure to the man, I can say Sarkozy is not George Bush. I wished we had a leader like Sarkozy. Sarkozy is great and actually reminds me of Bill Clinton, circa 1992. And he is SPOT on around minute 41 and onward, especially minute 43 and 45!

[findmobius]

Oh yeah. I especially love how he gives weapons, airbuses, an atomic reactor and desalinization plant to the terrorist regime in Libya. What a benevolent guy. Go Sarkozy. *sarcasm off*

[FatherSonAnHolyGhost]

bill clinton was a horrible president. he had charm, but wasnt a good president. neither is bush though.

[Ismojayz]

I love 45:38 where he talks about USA! Sarkozy est un rockstar lol, trop direct! He sais, the world does not stop at the USA borders!

[DiamondDog]

he's sexy

[jdred1]

AshkeNAZI jews need to stop the warmongering. American taxpayers are tired of funding Israel's security.

AshkeNAZI jews need to petition Germany to have them "make" a "homeland" for you. Gentiles kicked you out of Europe, you shouldn't take it out on the Palestinians.

[MadamGul]

Why do some Europeans still harbor hatred toward Jews? No lectures about Nazi Germany; I'm aware of all that. Haven't Jews attained equal status with Christians in Europe?

[jdred1]

Sarkozy is an ugly psychotic jew who's a spy for Mossad. No wonder she left him.

[Kuchlenz]

This idiotic rumour started on a SPOOF news site (like The Onion, but not as funny), and was immediately taken as the truth by anti-semites everywhere.

You are a fool. You've been punk'd and you parade your stupidity as a badge of honour.

[jdred1]

Actually it's not a rumor. The source was from the BBC.

[Kuchlenz]

Link?

[jdred1]

go do your own research ugly cross eyed jew.

[Kuchlenz]

I'll take that as an admission that you didn't see it on the BBC. BTW, not Jewish. Not an anti-semite either. You are the only NAZI here.

[Tan0uu]

Go sarkozy !!! Merci Sarkozy de faire bouger les choses !

[Missmahone]

Sarkozy for ever! He is the best!

[maarten0014]

Bullshit. Sarkozy is great, he is my president and i am proud of it!

[mogofou]

then take the french flag in your profile. sorry for him, but he is starting to get down and won't last five years...

[redzol]

I am french and i shout: Sarko is a bad guy!!!

I love USA, I was in NYC this summer, but I'm sorry to say he is like Bush....all that I hate in the human kind...

[lfRMFC]

How is he like Bush? I'm interested in French politics and want to know. Even if you disagree with Sarkozy, he's an interesting figure. Hopefully for you (since you are French) he isn't like Bush.

[redzol]

He is like Bush because money and power are his way of life, not mine!

[mogofou]

The common point they have :

ultra liberal people masked behind lies and promises told to honests ones

[redzol]

i'm totally agree with you Mogofou

[pleezmeslo]

This man is the future of france

[mnem00]

uhuhuh, he believes in capitalism ! for him capitalism is selling firms owned by french government to his friends like "les autoroutes du sud" supposedly to make the french government richer.

[scoobyDx]

and you believe in statism.

You want the state to dominate the lives of it's citizenry to "keep them safe".

Congrats - you are a big government statist

[mnem00]

"public firms" in France are owned by the citizens, the whole french people, if you wanna call it domination, do it...

If you wanna speak about domination let's talk about patriot act or the french equivalent "LSQ" voted by sarkozy, welcome in a world of domination. the rich become richer, the poor become poorer -and- under surveillance -without- freedom in the name of "security"

[scoobyDx]

who said anything about the patriot act? I live in canada you dink.

Right - the "whole french people". But who manages it? Who calls the shots?

The state - durrrrr

[mnem00]

let's see : "dominate", "keep them safe", it looks like bush and sarkozy FUD. i spoke about patriot act because it was voted to "keep US citizen safe" by a government which leads by fear, like sarkozy's one.

the most important thing is that majors don't manage it.

are you used to speak about things you ignore and using insults as argues or is it an exception ?

[scoobyDx]

look - if the state owns companies, they aren't managed by the "people". They are managed by buerocrats, and they tend to benefit from government protection that keeps them safe from competition.

And how does Sarkozy lead by fear? You seem to be the one who's afraid of allowing private citizens to run government owned companies.

You want the government to run companies because you trust your government.

Hurrah

[mnem00]

look, it seems you ignore the strike power force of public firms. managment isn't potent at this point, no matter who manages.

Sarkozy leads by fear of "scam" (young and poor people) fear of immigrants, fear of people you don't know in order to divide people to better reign. yes, i'm affraid of permitting private interests being at the top of my country dude. the american model isn't my model, sorry. do you want me to better explain in details the way of functionning of my own country ?

[scoobyDx]

you want unions to have the power to shut down a country through strikes? If two people come toi an agreement can one party simply refuse because they suddenly don't like it? If i hire a kid to mow my lawn for 10 bucks, and he comes to me half way through and demands 20 bucks i'll tell him to screw right off.

Unions are all together too powerful - but fine, if france wants to go that way your business - never mind the 2% growth in your country, the higher unemployment rates...

[mnem00]

this is a way not to be fucked by a person during five years. he wants the system to become private. e.g : schools in my country enable thousands of people to pass their master degree almost for free each year. our system enables a majority of poor people to be able to read. to be cured... We have to change, yes, but not this way.

[JagV12]

ALENA is NAFTA in english (for those who wander...)

[randall2020]

As usual, there is a question about Iran's possible acquisition of nuclear weapons, but no mention of terrorist Israel's hundreds of existing nuclear weapons.

[mnem00]

Israel just defends, Israel doesn't attack without serious reasons.

[shredder4765]

randall2020, you are a complete moron.... " terrorist Israel ", are you on crack?!

[OliverGBYRNE]

Wow thank you so much I missed that one,brilliant!!!

[GreenTeaGirlieHacked]

1 hour? leaving at 00:28*.
