Barack Obama has read the riot act to the leaders of several European countries - saying more dramatic action is needed to avert a eurozone meltdown.
The U.S. President made telephone calls to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian President Giorgio Napolitano late last night.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the president had demanded faster action from Europe.
It came as Hong Kong revealed it had plunged into recession.
Speaking from the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation conference, Geithner said: 'The crisis in Europe remains the central challenge to global growth.

European leaders erupt in uproarious laughter after Obama read them the riot act
Spoken like a community organizer. I see he’s still into arranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship.
What is he? King of the world? What a boor.
Double secret probation?
His arrogance is truly breathtaking.
I thought this guy was some diplomatic genius who was going to fix all our broken relationships around the world.
I bet these Euroleaders are waxing nostalgic for George W these days.
He’s running for president for Pets’s sake!
I think he had to call them to try and portray himself as a leader, because they basically ignored him at the G-20.
I do wonder who actually took his calls.
Some long-suffering personal secretaries on the night shift.
4.3% growth is not exactly a recession, but they consider it that because it’s down 2 straight quarters.
ZerO, if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what is.
The mouse that roared.
I mean, seriously. He needs to be “bitch-slapped” in the worst way. Or maybe a wedgie.
Pot . . . . . . kettle . . . . .
The One demands faster action. Let’s see, the ECB dumped Billions supporting crashing Italian bonds, now French and Austrian rates are heading up. The Greek government was toppled in favor of an ECB man (the same one who presided over the book cooking that got them into this mess). The Italian government is headed for the same fate. The EFSF floated a bond offering which failed miserably. Germany and France are now looking to exit the EU.
It would appear that the world is running out of the ink and electrons required to print “Money”. The end game approacheth...
What is he? King of the world?
Good grief. Why should European leaders listen to someone who has to bribe his Leftists at home to vote for him next year? Who is “leader” of a country with many TRILLIONS of dollars of debt and no hope of paying it off? Who is the laughing stock of half his country?
BO should have absolutely no credibility in European capitals, but then these countries let a little man with a funny mustache lead them into the world’s most destructive war on their continent.
Fact is that as western civilization gets closer and closer to total meltdown, you will see more and more desperate action by leaders.
"Oh no! It's that arrogant, airheaded mulatto from America again. Who wants to be the Undersecretary this time?"
This coming from a community organizer the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to put this in prespective, with no business or financial background, never held a job, ran a small business, never balanced a personel check book, never held any elected office in a village, town, county, mayor or governor except a senatorship for a whole hot minute, and we can only imagine what they said to each other after they recieved this call.
