Ah, yes. "True capitalism." Do you mean anything by that, or are you just tossing out words?

Like he's not part of the problem...

Certainly, Obama is central to the debts of Greece, Italy and Spain. He was also responsible for the Bolshevik Revolution - all that before he was even born.

Agreements are being made now regarding who must downwrite how much of what. The idea that boundaries should be drawn - that Europeans should be primarily responsible for European issues - shouldn't seem too far a stretch. From an economic perspective, proactive measures could save third-party participants quite a bit.

Then again, some would like to prevent this administration from achieving anything. Here's a scare for those types this Halloween: Kadafi! Kadafi!

I come across this more and more and am really starting to enjoy it - Obama fans dressing up his many failures as the result of resistance from or intransigence on the part of the one half of the one third of our gov't currently controlled by Repubs. To listen to your average prog you would think Dems have been in the minority since Jan of 07.

I found our horrid Sec. of State on TV chuckling with Diane Sawyer at Kadaffi's death to be pretty scary. But that's just me, 'being judgmental' about sociopaths in high places.

HRC: "We came, we saw, he died, hah ha ha."

Heh, superlib has it backwards again :) kinda illuminates the origines of the inferiority complex.

And isn't a lot of the European banking misery caused in fact by their participation in the US sub-prime catastrophe?

President Obama is hoping the Europeans can get their act together just long enough to keep the European contagion from reaching the US before his re-election. But it's coming. The Europeans are just kicking the can down the road and not resolving anything. The EU are on course to sell their souls to the Chinese because they will run out of temporary fixes for what are structural deficiencies. America should look at Europe and get a glimpse of their own future under a pro-Socialist president. America needs to pull together and stop this class war that Obama has launched because their time is running out too.

Greece has something like 300 different civil service jobs which allow for retirement at age 50.

Must be tied to that sub-prime debacle in the US. Tell yourself anything other than facing the facts about the cradle-to-grave welfare state in its death throes.
