Obama-Sarkozy clash at G20?

There's some news going around the blogosphere about a possible feud between U.S. President Barack Obama and French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

Obama wrote a letter to former French president Jacques Chirac in response to an earlier letter sent to him by Chirac in mid-March.

Chirac and Obama will meet at the G20 summit and the U.S. president has released an editorial to international newspapers suggesting the need to stimulate the economy. France is known to be less than enthusiastic about a stimulus plan, and more concerned about regulating the financial markets.
