"US President Obama is inexperienced and indecisive," said Sarkozy, according to a report in the newspaper Liberation. He went on by saying, “Obama has a subtle mind, is very clever and very charismatic, but when he was elected two months ago he had never run a ministry. There are a certain number of things on which he has no position. And he is not always up to standard on decision-making and efficiency.” Sarkozy was also lashing out to other leaders.
