A day after being sworn in as Greece's new prime minister, Lucas Papademos talked Saturday with the leaders of France and Germany about efforts to address his nation's continuing economic woes - including negative ramifications if certain moves aren't made soon.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel both congratulated Papademos on his ascension when they talked with him on Saturday afternoon, according to a statement from Sarkozy's office.
Sarkozy and Merkel then expressed an "urgent need" for Greece's new leader to ensure that his country adheres to its past commitments, including implementation of an Oct. 27 bailout package brokered between former Prime Minister George Papandreou and other European leaders.
FULL STORY
MAYBE THE GREECE PEOPLE SHOULD GET SOME JOBS... and work some overtime..
Yeah, Ruffie, that's the answer.
*Facepalm*
I'm sure France and Germany *do* want Greece to adhere to their commitments, including the 10/27 bailout; it was made only 16 days ago...I don't think a new PM is going to negate that.
Gease Greece with all that corruption didn't help either...
Maybe they need some Greeced lightning, go Greeced lightning...
Yeah baaaaabey!
bankers first!
what they should do.. is buy a russian submarine... goto mexico and get a bunch of stuff.. and smuggle it into the us.. and make a gaziollion bucks...
.
or... sell some pet rocks or something..
Yeah something sounds verrry slippery about this.......
Probably ought to just Greece their palms.
Do you *believe* people made a gazillion dollars selling per rocks?
Why didn't *I* think of that?
Or the singing bass?
maybe they should start diging? there's bound to be some hidin treasure buried over there somewhere..
whatisthis?
My Take: Keep government out of mind-reading business

NEWTS CNN > waterboarding GOOD: "science" BAD.... FOXX...CNN... the same..........
What the Greeks soarly need to do is to quit the Eurozone, go back to using the Drachmas as standard currency and just ignore Nickolas Sarkozy and Angie Merkel altogether! Unfortuntely, the new Greek Prime Minister won't have the sense to do that, sadly enough, so Greece will slide ever deeper into a severe depression!!!
@fakey: what *you* need to do, besides stealing other people names, is learn how to spell 'sorely'.
Thank you, banasy. I will spell 'sorely" right from now on. As the true RUFFNUTT here, I want to reiterate what I posted @ 12:43 above. The best thing that can happen to Europe right now is the dissolution of the Eurozone and find a new set of leaders who won't just merely take orders from the right-wing thugs in Washington!
READ my mind- goodbye America !!! leaving on the next train for a real country !!! Becuase NEWT loves waterboarding like BEVIS and BUTTHEAD but none love science like READING YOUR MIND... Ron PAUL is nothing but a stealth NAZII..
It's time to lay down the facts before the Governments of the world; you may do what you deem fit, but ultimately debt doesn't go away.
