Don’t worry kids, I wish I could take credit for it but, for this one i’ll have to give credit where credit is due. Mirek Topolanek, a European Union Leader says a week before Barack Obama is due to arrive in Europe on his first official visit as US president, “The US Treasury secretary talks about permanent action and we, at our spring council, were quite alarmed at that . . . The US is repeating mistakes from the 1930s, such as wide-ranging stimuluses, protectionist tendencies and appeals, the Buy American campaign, and so on,” he told a European parliament session in Strasbourg. “All these steps, their combination and their permanency, are the road to hell.”

…ya, I was actually surprised it took this long. I think this is basically the feeling of most American’s these days, though it is ironic it took a EU leader to get pissed off enough to say something about it.

Given the outrage of our friend from the EU, Obama vigorously opposes the view that the continued spending and borrowing is going to dig this hole even deeper. Big surprise right? During Tuesday’s Press Conference, Obama was so hooked on the “prompter” that every question asked by the likes of “politico”, and even a French news agency, the only thing he could say was “we must act now”. Well Mr. President.. I ask you.. Would you start bulding a house before you own the land? Of course not, that would be idiotic.. or say.. insane! It’s the same situation, just a different scale.

Oh by the way… speaking of taking questions at the Press Conference, Obama completely left out the likes of;

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and USA Today

HA! All of this just minutes after talking about the importance of “media” in the USofA??

The “road to hell indeed”… very much indeed.
