Euro, DAX fall after election deadlock

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The euro tumbled against the dollar and the German stock market declined Monday after both Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union and Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats claimed the right to form a governing coalition in parliamentary elections in Germany.

The euro recently was down at $1.2149 vs. $1.2235 on Friday, reaching a seven-month low, and the German DAX 30 stock market index ended 1.2% lower at 4,926, and had dropped earlier as low as 4,872.

Figures suggest Merkel's CDU/CSU only won only a three-seat majority, 225-222, over the SPD in Germany's lower house. See story.

Both Merkel and Schroeder on Sunday night claimed the right to govern Europe's largest economy.

Analysts said markets were reacting to both the paralysis and the weak mandate for economic reforms.

They can't win elections honestly around the world and in America, so they have these Nazi challenge teams just like their Uncle Adolph did to "win" elections in Germany in the 1930's after they really lost the elections.

"When you have a son coming of military age, this makes it even more important to vote for a government that isn't eager to go to war," said Stefan Deutscher, a 38-year-old business consultant voting in Berlin.

"the family was unlucky and stayed poor all through the 50s, and was the German equivalent of "white trash". But he worked his way up out of poverty by sheer hard work and ambition"

As Jefferson would say," I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it."

I consider your reference to "white trash" offensive.

Sure I'm an old European! I live here, never intend to leave it, and know a lot about its history, culture and politics.

I await with interest your pearls of American wisdom, especially about the NSDAP. Use simple words, please (ones you can spell).
LOL!

Sorry, didn't know it was an offensive rather than a descriptive term.
