De Bushes hadden president Sarkozy over de vloer en het is te leuk om de IHT van vandaag niet te citeren: "'We're going to give him a hamburger or a hot dog, his choice', Bush said Saturday as he waited for Sarkozy to arrive. He was flanked by the first lady, Laura Bush, his parents and members of the extended Bush clan, including grandchildren who had made welcome signs - "Bienvenue Monsieur Le President"- with pictures of lobsters. Bush went on with the menu, occasionally interrupted by his wife. 'He's got some baked beans,' Bush said. 'If he likes baked beans he can have that as well.' ('Native Maine corn,' Laura Bush interjected.) 'There's corn on the cob, real fresh this time of the year,' he continued. ('Salad, fresh tomatoes,' the first lady added.) 'If he feels like it, he can have him a piece of blueberry pie, fresh blueberries up here in Maine.'"
