MailOnline: President Blair: Former PM set to become EU chief as Sarkozy battles to win him the post
"Tony Blair is poised to become the first President of Europe after it was confirmed that French leader Nicolas Sarkozy is determined to help him win the post.
A senior aide to President Sarkozy told a private gathering of senior British and French politicians that he is to tell fellow EU leaders that Mr Blair is the only man who can help Europe stand up to the rest of the world.
The remark by Alain Minc, a key member of Mr Sarkozy’s inner circle, is the second French blow to Gordon Brown’s standing in two days"

I suggest great business opportunity. Toilet tissue with the Silky's face printed must be a hit product of the decade.

also in the mail :-
Since leaving office Mr Blair has used a number of Gulfstream planes, including a South African-registered Gulfstream V jet based at Luton Airport.
In November last year he is believed to have hired a Gulfstream IV owned by British-based banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild for a three-day return trip to Rwanda at an estimated cost of £83,000, including fuel.source: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=10157
Sir Evelyn, 77, who was one of a number of billionaires to dine at Downing Street in Mr Blair’s final days in power, has owned the plane since 2002 through a company called Metropix.

Blair CAN stand up to the rest of the world - apart from the US and the European Round Table. The latter will tell him what to do.

How about an enquiry into the validity of going to war in Iraq before this man is offered any other job.

The only other enthusiast is Rory Bremner, I imagine.

So Sarkozy backs Blair to be president of the European union.
What do else would you expect from a man who has just bestowed JK Rowling with one of France's highest honours?
Sarkozy is France's equivalent of Posh Spice: he uses other people's fame for his own advantage.
