Tornado Alley (PROG)

1st thought .. Merkel and Obama faces, lol, look at the smiles .. what's she doing back there? .. (lol, every time i look at the picture now i think tickle tickle) .. shaddup, Stewie .. anyway .. 2nd thought .. Romney and McCain? .. oh no .. they could not have, really! .. isn't there some rule about undermining your president overseas?? .. somebody did it and the Republicans were critical of it before? .. 3rd thought . maybe that's what the smiles are about (your suggestion of a Romney/McCain note) .. 4th .. damn, am almost falling asleep here for some raisin ..

chuckle .. it's really good to see people who are capable of working together in crisis situations .. the news of Merkel's little adjustment on the European Financial Stability Facility lending "directly to troubled eurozone countries" is good news so early after the meeting .. she must know they have to at least try a different approach .. lemme see .. so far only this on which is bad behavior enough of Romney's ..

Obama’s Advice to Merkel ‘Unwise’, Romney-Adviser Hubbard Says
By Rainer Buergin on June 08, 2012

U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration has been trying to force Germany to assume responsibility for financially weak governments and banks in the euro region, giving advice that’s unwise and reflecting a lack of knowledge about the sources of the crisis, Glenn Hubbard, an economic adviser for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said in the Handelsblatt newspaper.

Obama’s advice to Germany and Europe to focus on short-term economic stimulus to achieve longer-term growth goals is as flawed as his own economic policy, Hubbard, dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business, said in an opinion piece in the newspaper.

Europe’s debt crisis is a crisis of confidence, Hubbard said. Confidence in sound public finances over the long term is a prerequisite for economic growth and creates scope for short- term emergency programs, he said.
