They both decide to test it by asking a question each.
President Obama goes first: "What will the USA be like in 100 years time?"
The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout, he reads it out:
"The country is in good hands under the new Republican president, crime is non-existent, there is no conflict, the Taliban are beaten, North Korea is a democracy, the economy is healthy. There are no worries"
President Sarkozy thinks, 'This time-machine is not bad... I'll give it a try'.
He asks: "What will France be like in 100 years time?"
The machine whirs and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout. But he just stares at it.
"Come on Nicolas," says Obama, "Tell us what it says."
"I can't! It's all in Arabic."
