Update: Sarkozy- Obama’s arrogance could endanger the West; Obama has only spoken to McChrystal ONCE since giving him command in AfPak;Iran test firing missiles; French Embassy provides transcript; French President Sarkozy says ‘Obama dreams of a world without nukes..we live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions’
Update:9/30 – More on Sarkozy’s views of TOTUS as American media finally begins to cover it, albeit in a small way:
That’s right the President of FRANCE thinks Obama is so arrogant it endangers the West, and I agree! GIRD YOURSELF WORLD. Video courtesy of GatewayPundit, go read their entire post!
Update: Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse we find while TOTUS is planning his trip to lobby for the Olympics for his buddies in Chicago, he has only spoken to our Commander on the ground in theatre of war ONCE. Yes ONCE. He has done more interviews than GWB/WJC combined and talked ONCE to our General on the ground.
Malfeasance! Abandonment of his PRIMARY DUTIES! Unreal.
WashingtonTimes has the quote from CBS:
The military general credited for capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq says he has only spoken to President Obama once since taking command of Afghanistan.
“I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconference],” General Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.
“You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?” Mr. Martin followed up.
“That is correct,” the general replied.
This revelation comes amid the explosive publication of an classified report written by the general that said the war in Afghanistan “will likely result in failure” if more troops are not added next year. Yet, the debate over health care reform continues to dominate Washington’s political discussions and other issues. On Monday morning the White House announced President Obama will travel to Denmark on Thursday to lobby the International (sp) Olympic Committee to select his hometown of Chicago for the 2016 summer games….
So he has his priorities in order right? And when he steals the Olympics from Lula and Brazil, will Lula bash blue eyed bankers again? GOD BLESS THE TROOPS AND AFGHANI PEOPLE AND GOD SAVE THE WORLD since America is clearly no longer on watch.

Dimension Films – Neve Campbell onboard for Scream 4; Children of the Corn, Hellraiser sequel and American Werewolf in London retools coming…
Our previous posts on Scream 4 and Halloween 3D here. SO glad Neve Campbell is coming back. American Werewolf in London scared the hexx out of me as a kid. And Children of the Corn creeps out more the older I get naturally. Remember the ST episode with the kids killing off the ‘grups’, Village of the Damned, yeah little kids without adult units controlling them are scareeee alright. The people at Variety who did the piece misspelled American Werewolf in London AND Hellraiser. They need to get a horror fan in there!
Promising that “I’m going back to doing what I do best,” Bob Weinstein has unveiled several films to be released by Dimension over the next year, many in 3-D.
“Scream IV” will start production in April or May as the first of a new trilogy and the company is talking to Wes Craven to direct, Weinstein reports. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette will star
…In addition, the company wants to shoot “Halloween III” in 3-D, aiming to release it in October 2010. Dimension also is remaking the cult classic, “Children of the Corn.”
...“I’m heading back to my franchise films,” Weinstein declared, citing plans to shoot sequels to “Hell Raisers” and “Scanners” in 3D. Also on the slate are “Short Circuit” and “American Werewolf (sp) in London.” “These films are our strength and we are committed to doing them in style.”
The first three “Scream” pictures registered grosses of roughly $100 million a piece in the U.S…
