But this time House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn't seem in the mood to help.

The US president said both France and England are ‘wonderful in their own ways’ and - just like his two daughters - he would never choose between the two countries. He was speaking at the White House during a state visit by unpopular French president Francois Hollande, whose colourful love life has captured the attention of the world.
