French diplomat reveals how George W. Bush first knew Obama would win: His daughters were crazy about the Democrat

George W. Bush told French President Nicolas Sarkozy that he had early intelligence that Democrat Barack Obama would be his successor in the White House: His daughters were enthusiastic supporters of the Democrat, according to an account from a top French official.

The 43rd president backed John McCain, his fellow Republican, former rival, and uneasy ally. But Bush told his French counterpart that his twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, made no secret of their allegiance to Obama, who wielded a strong generational appeal, according to Jean-David Levitte, the former French Ambassador to the United States who was then in Paris as Sarkozy's top foreign policy advisor.

"Bush believed that Obama would win because his twins swore by him," Levitte told Le Monde's Arnaud Leparmentier in an article in the French newspaper today. The article, excerpted from a pre-election book on Sarkozy, is not online.

1. Now, aren't you all ashamed...

3. My coworker's son was in the same class with her at Yale. Evidently, she was

asking him "who is this guy, Harold Dean?" meaning Howard of course. This was back in 04 and IIRC Dean's daughter was attending Yale at that time, but not in my coworker's son's class.

4. I think it kind of speaks well of the Bushes as parents that their daughters felt

confident enough and secure enough to tell their parents that. And that they obviously raised these girls to be independent thinkers.

I remember seeing the blonde (I always forget which is which) on with Ellen. She talked her into calling her dad. Laura answered the phone, said they were just sitting there watching TV (after all, it was after 5:00pm on the East Coast). W came on the line and really, he did well. You could tell they all loved each other, although the daughter was a little nervous surprise attacking the POTUS with a phone call being played on national TV.

At some point in the interview, she said "I love my dad SO much".

I hope they're still Obama supporters.

8. I think you're right.

6. Groundhog Day

Instead of Punxsutawney Phil they drag out Barb and Jenna before each election and ask them for their prediction. It got to be better than a CNN News poll.

7. EVERYONE with a braincell knew that ANY Dem nominee would win after 8yrs of Bush

All this means is that George W Bush has at least one braincell.

9. They are a lot smarter than I thought.

[FrodosPet]

10. They are still Bush offspring

And they need to be despised until the end of time because of who their father, grandfather, and uncles are.

11. Yeah!

They're just shills for the BFEE
