‘My husband has no choice but to get along with George Bush”

Carla Bruni joked that her husband has no option but to get along with U.S. President George Bush during an interview on an American chat show.
The First Lady of France appeared as a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman when the chat show host asked her how Nicolas Sarkozy gets along with President Bush.
Bruni-Sarkozy revealed that there’s no love lost between the two, saying: ‘They have to, you know. There’s no choice.’
Carla Bruni joked that her husband has no option but to get along with U.S. President George Bush during an interview on an American chat show.
The former model welcomed President-elect Barack Obama, revealing that France is thrilled by his appointment.
Bruni-Sarkozy said: ‘France is thrilled (about Obama). I think the whole world is delighted.
‘Everyone was so excited and watched the election late at night.’
Italian-born Carla told Letterman that she suffers from self doubt, and questions if she is good enough to be the First Lady of France.
‘It’s an honour. I just want to be good enough. I worry that I’m not good enough for France, but I want to try my best because I like it,’ she told Letterman.
Bruni, 40, also spoke of her encounter with Queen Elizabeth II, who she visited at Windsor Castle in March with her husband.
She said: ‘She is the most enchanting person. I was very worried because she’s Queen of England. But she makes it very easy, she’s very kind.’
Earlier, Bruni showcased her musical talents for American viewers.
Guitar in hand, the 40-year-old sang and strummed songs from her new album on The Early Show on CBS.
She opted for a relaxed and demure look, wearing simple black trousers and a lilac twinset.
The chanteuse was joined on the show by young British actor Daniel Radcliffe.
The star, 19, was there to promote his Broadway show, Equus.
After receiving rave reviews in the UK for his role in the play, the Harry Potter star has gone on to wow American audiences.
In the role – which requires him to strip down – he plays disturbed stable boy Alan Strang.
The New York Post said of his performance: ‘His acting, beautifully understated and withdrawn, has just the right manner for this horribly mixed-up adolescent.’
