US and French Presidents Obama and Sarkozy met. They commemorated the D-Day landing's 65th anniversary. Sarkozy was "spilling with unusually generous praise for 'the America that we love.'" Yet Obama was merely "grateful, but reserved." They "didn't seem to create much of a spark," with "Sarkozy kinetic and sharp-tongued, Obama cool and measured."

The article ends with Laurence Nardon of the French Institute for International Relations, who explains that:

not all countries necessarily have the idea that they have the right to explain to others what they should do. That's a characteristic of the United States and France that we share

[Obama might be setting the "cool" example for the world. George Bush's cowboy persona sets the wild west standard. We're all in it for ourselves. May the strong survive. Obama's "cool" attitude might set the precident for people to calmly and rationally look at the bigger picture, and come to solutions that work for everyone.]
