obama: i love french food and wine

Does anyone else have a dad crush on Obama right now?

In his first interview with a French television channel, he has proclaimed his love for the Frenchies and their délicieux cuisine.

“I think the American people continue to love all French things,” he said. Relations between France and the U.S. have steadily improved in recent years, particularly since the 2007 election of Sarkozy, who is widely seen as pro-American, and that of Obama, who is wildly popular in France.

Asked what about France he himself loved, Obama responded, “Let’s see, we have the food, we have Paris, we got the south of France, Provence, the wine.”

Obama said he had traveled through France during his college days and that a return trip to the southeastern region of Provence was long overdue, though he acknowledged his French was rusty.

“I studied it in high school and I just forgot it,” he said, adding “Michelle, I think she speaks a little French.”

“Merci beaucoup,” he said, concluding the 10-minute-long interview.
