Not surprised Sarkozy went down. What did he accomplish? Nothing that inspired confidence.

Merkel has done more to shift her country and the economies of Europe to the right than any modern German leader. She is Bush II’s buddy in ideology and mind, including her lack of smarts. World wide there has been a dangerous shift Rightward and the recession is only one scary result of it. it seems that politicians around the globe are finally being called on it. Hollande’s victory is Merkel’s political death nell, and hopefully Romney and Cameron will follow

Wesleypresley..In the long run, no one knows who the real losers will be. One can only hope that no one loses.

In the short run, investors in 401 and 403 retirement funds are going to be the losers. Future market for the dow is down 140 points, meaning the stock market could take significant loss, meaning all the government and private pension funds that are underwater in their actuarial reports will be even further underwater. And since the government insures pension funds through the PBGC, anther bailout could be required if they remain that underfunded.

This article can only make one laugh. Obviously the real losers in all this are the Mitt Romney’s of the world. It is time to begin taxing the rich and putting working people first. Oh right that is the capitalist and Republican nightmare.
Say good bye to Merkel next year because her party suffered defeat in local German elections as Sarkozy was losing in France.
Obama will soon have more solid support in Europe.
