| Obama calls Zapatero, Berlusconi to discuss economic crisis in Europe |
| 2011-08-10 |
(KUNA) -- US President Barack B.O.Obama called late on Monday both Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi ...current Italian prime minister, known for his plain (for a European politician) speaking and his liking for hookers a third his age or less... to discuss the latest developments in the European economic crises. A White House statement said that Obama called Zapatero and Berlusconi separately to discuss "the latest developments in the Eurozone crisis. The President welcomed the measures pursued by Spain and Italia to address their immediate economic challenges and improve their competitiveness". The first time Spain and Italy 'improve their competitiveness' will be the first time... The White House also mentioned that Zapatero and Berlusconi "also expressed their condolences for the deaths of 30 American servicemen in Afghanistan on August 6th. The President noted that all ISAF members have made sacrifices in Afghanistan but our continued solidarity demonstrates the strength of our coalition". |

| #8 #3 I'm sure both just like being lectured by a community organizing, wannabe perfesser. Posted by gr(o)mgoru "Wannabe perfesser" is right gr(o)m. He was little more than a guest lecturer who conned his way into an office soundly pissing off the tenured personnel. |

| #4 When is he going to start discussing the economic crisis here? I've never had so much disgust, contempt and distrust for a president. I'm old enough to have voted for Nixon over McGovern so I've seen a few. Zero far outranks Carter in my list of the worst. |
