French First Lady appears to not kiss Barack Obama

Dailymail.co.uk
Over the last few days Barack Obama has charmed the entire world.

And today it appeared his charisma overwhelmed the French First Lady.

It is usual in France to greet one another with a kiss - but the best Mr Obama could get out of a suddenly flustered Carla Bruni was a handshake.

The French First Lady appeared unsure of how to greet the U.S. President in footage of the event

Ms Bruni appeared to lean in to kiss the president's cheek as she greeted him on his arrival in Strasbourg for a Nato summit today.

But when Mr Obama did not seem to reciprocate, she hesitated then quickly backtracked, settling for the handshake and a smile instead.

But perhaps the French First Lady was reading the President better than onlookers knew. She may have instinctively understood that he was unsure about the complicated customs regarding the 'bise', the French kiss on the cheeks often given as a greeting even between relative strangers.

wow this video is a complete joke. Neither the President, nor the French First Lady were planning on kissing eachother. It was an amicable hand shake from both, from the beginning. Get, your facts straight.

Obama should be grateful. Carla Bruni is nothing more than a glorified courtesan and probably carries enough STDs to flatten a shipload of sailors.

Michelle would have powerbombed Barack on those steps if he got any closer.

@bamabelle327 Perhaps, but Sarkozy doesn't deserve more – he looks really out of place in these ceremonies. The Obamas and Carla have a natural elegance, whatever they wear.

If You watch The Video and Don't Pay Attention to The Title... You will Clearly See that It's Obama who Passes on Her Attempt at a French Kiss.

@blackburst21 you will look far lol

[bamabelle327]

The two most glamourous couples? Maybe Frenchie McGee is, but Michelle dresses like it's a tacky Christmas sweater party every day. It's an embarrassment. The sick irony is she drops a fortune to look like that.
