After bashing us in every way, and the EU stopping just short of claiming that "we will bury you", now they want us to save them?

"The US must take its responsibilities in this situation, must show statesmanship for the sake of their own companies and for the sake of the world," European Commission spokesman Johannes Laitenberger said.

FOAD is my opinion -- and all of my relatives besides my parents live in Europe.

Lead this, Johannes. Tax your own people some more. We really don't need you. Where's your new economic superpower now, beeyotch? cheesy

I say we give them the bail-out, if they agree to fully support us in every current and future foreign policy decision for the next fifty years, quit whining about our use of the death penalty, and then let Germany go ahead and finish off France.  They've been getting on our nerves for at least the past fifty years. 

And Mike Irwin's choice signature line applies very well here.

I read that article and it appears the ENTIRE WORLD is moaning in agony over our subprime housing market?

And they've only injected less than $100B dollars in an attempt to correct it, but expect us to pop in $700 Billion?

FOAD is quite appropriate for this situation, IMO.

BOATIUTA might also fit.

Heh.  I think Europe owes us a please-come-save-us favor.  I think we should make European taxpayers pay for the $700billion bailout.

Big time.

I have a thought.  They send us a pile of cash, and we trade them Barry.  We can use the extra scratch, and they all LOVE Obama over there. 

Win Win situation. Then they can elect him head mucky muck of the European Union and everyone will be happy.  Money's no issue for them, they can just raise taxes.

Except fistful.  laugh

Someone on BBC was apparently calling for global control of financial markets, because ours messed up theirs.

Yeah, go ahead and try that. Just decouple Europe, go back to potatoes and you'll be all set.

While it would be fun to be supreme ruler president, I do believe the existing parties would come to a non partisan agreement in record time, and have me impeached and exiled so fast it would make your head spin.

'priciate your support though :p

I want one. If I see a leftist trying to take away people's rights, I want to be able to show it, and then redistribute their wealth by taking their wallet and handing out the contents to everyone around.

Well then, I'll settle for all of APS being deputized as US Marshalls.

If we can't get letters of Marque, then we can at least rip around on quads down on the border, shootin' and hollarin' and scaring the bejeezus out of everyone down there.

Can Do  cool

Everybody give me a list, and I'll get to the APS rearmament act of 09' just after I finish signing your letters of marque and whacking  the NFA, GCA, and ATF.  And then finish the list placing a $100,000 bounty on the heads of most of our elected politicians, a handful of activists, all militant eviroweenies, PETA, and any other various and sundry international leaders that piss me off.  laugh

Oh, and my bounty system will be far more effective in fixing our current problems than any $700 billion bailout, and cost much less    shocked

On behalf of Europe, which is neither the European Union nor one big country,
I would like to thank you for saving our ass, that would concern soldiers running up the Omaha beach and their Families who must have suffered terribly as well.

For everybody else I would like to thank you that you're working so hard to pay all those taxes to cough up 700 Billion $ so your government can bail out Wall street's idea of a free market. People  getting loans without income, jobs or assets to use leverage to get the big homes they never should have had in the first place and the tax payer who is cordially invited to settle the bill sounds awfully European to me. Welcome to the brave new world.
