OBAMA: Well, first of all, I want to thank President Sarkozy for hosting me and welcoming me to Paris. I can't imagine somebody who better captures the enthusiasm and energy of France than your president.
And I also want to thank Foreign Minister Kouchner. We had a very productive discussion on a range of challenges and opportunities that France and the United States both share.
And I also want to say that I recall our meeting the first time. I don't know whether people are aware that, when President Sarkozy went to Washington, he wasn't yet elected as president. He met with only two United States senators. That was me and John McCain.
(LAUGHTER)
So I would suggest that, for the reporters in the room, if you want to know something about elections, you should talk to the president of France.
