It's kool aid, it's just not that filling, that's why they keep drinking it.

yeah and the new flavor since January has been Black Cherry

How nice. Barack Obama is busy saving German jobs at Opel while 600,000 a month are going up in smoke in this country.

Wanna bet he offered Opel some goodies in the US?

It's a misleading article (at least, Merkel is); Obama would, by default, have affected - notice how I omit 'help' - Opel because it is a wholly owned subsidiary (think Saturn, but European) of General Motors. So, while Merkel is a devote of Euronomics, she would say something along the lines of "Obama did something" because when you hand money to GM, you're in effect handing money to Opel as well.

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

Well, yes, and although Obama technically may have gave Opel no taxpayer money, he could give them a piece of GM's ass and legalistically comply with that.

 

[Metternich]

Bingo bango; Europe has a hard time coming up with large amounts of avaliable capital because it's system is broken and devoted against large manifestations of capital reserves? By all means, ask America for some bailouts.

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

No taxpayer money mind you, Obama will just slice off a bigger piece of GM's flesh for the Germans and Opel.

 

[Metternich]

There's no distinction between GM and the Imperial Federal Government; mind you. So really it will be with taxpayer's money... Though that could be sarkasm I hear in you but my sarcastic meter is on the fritz so maybe not.
