Elvis and the Presidents

Here’s a news wire from Reuters worth quoting:

“BUCHAREST (Reuters) – It’s “Love me tender” between the United States and France after President George W. Bush compared French President Nicolas Sarkozy with rock’n'roll singer Elvis Presley.

Bush told NATO leaders at a Bucharest summit on Thursday that when Sarkozy visited the United States recently, he was seen as “the latest incarnation of Elvis”.

Such an example of “Burning love” marks a sea change from the “Suspicious minds” that clouded Franco-American relations under Sarkozy’s predecessor, Jacques Chirac, who often seemed to see Washington as “The devil in disguise”.”
