Once again Obama’s re-election trumps EVERYTHING.

Seems like the only non weak kneed man in the G8 meeting with cojones to stay the austerity course is a woman

[Voltage]

Switching from 'austerity' (they have not seen austerity yet, but will) to 'growth' simply means they want to continue deficit spending. And they will until they can't borrow at rates which they can afford. Then the austerity they rail against will be unavoidable.

I find it hard to believe that German voters will allow their savings to be given away to deadbeats much longer.

Good for her. A knee to the nuts is exactly what he needed.

The EU has no choice except to remove Greece and allow them to sink.It is either that or they all go down.I hope she laughed at Obama and gave him a Bronx salute for his ideas because her ideas are the only thing that will save the economies of the world and the austerity measures will have to be painful ones that most likely cause rioting.We all need to be ready the day the foodstamp class finds out that the gravy train has left the stain without them.....

Obama is a socialist. Of course he wants Europe to ditch asuterity (at least until after the U.S. Elections).
He also wants to dump whats left of U.S. tax dollars to prop up socialist countries.

Obama, facing a presidential election in November, cannot afford US jobless numbers to rise this autumn...

They won't, because the Obamareich is the source of those numbers.

“...if there is no return of confidence in Europe. “

this writer must be misreading their lips. They, and we, know the primary problem with growing jobs in the US is the lack of confidence and trust in Obama. He is the reason for no recovery. The sooner he is voted out, the quicker will be a recovery

[kabar]

Obama, facing a presidential election in November, cannot afford US jobless numbers to rise this autumn, a serious possibility if there is no return of confidence in Europe.

What's wrong with Merkel? Imagine her worrying about German interests instead of what this means to Obama's reelection. How selfish can she be?

[familyop]

Our USA should not be joining the UK in pushing Germany to flush itself down the drain of corruption with the more southern cultures. Let the southern nations be on their own and go where they may.

Euro-bonds, what a great idea. Who’d a thunk of such a great idea .... take all the European sovereign debt and bundle it and sell it as bonds. What could possibly go wrong?

[KevinB]

Obama lecturing on economics is like Hitler lecturing on tolerance.

[Gay State Conservative]

She's standing up for *her* people and that surprises the likes of Osama Obama and that commie just elected in France.
Greece is paying the price for 40 years worth of siestas and retirement at age 50.

Angela Merkel Stands Firm On Greece

I couldn't do that, I'd slip and break my neck.
