...Germany's first couple is unlikely to generate the kind of media voltage produced by their Gallic counterparts, Nicolas and Cecilia Sarkozy, in New England over the summer. Madame Sarkozy, then on the verge of leaving her husband, turned down an invitation to a barbecue with the Bushes in Kennebunkport, Maine, claiming she was ill. Frau Merkel and Herr Sauer, by contrast, enjoy a more settled partnership, which is unlikely to offer the sort of fodder for speculation that the Sarkozys did. In marriage, as in transatlantic politics, the less news the better...
...President could really use a pal and admirer in a place that his Administration had least come to expect one - the Elysée Palace - Sarkozy has stressed the positive and pointed out all the ways France and the U.S. can work together. That, and his media-hyped Kennebunkport summer cookout with the Bushes has delivered the message Sarkozy sought: that he's the young, dynamic and admiring anti-Chirac...
...White House residence; this was typical of Graham's visits over the years, which seldom took place in the Oval Office but often involved nights and weekends spent in the residence, Camp David or private presidential retreats like the Johnsons?

Bush had invited Graham to visit him for lunch and dinner several times in the last two years, but Graham, who was hospitalized for two weeks this summer with intestinal bleeding, was unable to make the trip. He had long been reluctant to leave his Montreat, N.C., home while his wife...
President Bush must serve up a pretty convincing hamburger: Ever since his Kennebunkport cookout with his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy, the French have been rattling sabers at Iran with a ferocity that must please even the most Francophobe hawks within the Administration...
Plenty of criticism of the U.S. there. On the other hand, the famous lunch that George W. Bush stood Sarkozy in Kennebunkport, Maine, this summer seems to have been worth it. Sarkozy pledged 150 new French troops for Afghanistan and softened his opposition to Turkey's entry into the European Union, a membership the U.S. favors. And he promised active French diplomacy in Iraq and Lebanon while pledging that France would help prevent the emergence of an Islamist ministate in the Gaza Strip. No U.S. President should ever expect his French counterpart to agree with everything he says...
