Barack Obama has read the riot act to the leaders of several European countries - saying more dramatic action is needed to avert a eurozone meltdown.
The U.S. President made telephone calls to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian President Giorgio Napolitano late last night.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the president had demanded faster action from Europe.
It came as Hong Kong revealed it had plunged into recession.
Speaking from the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation conference, Geithner said: 'The crisis in Europe remains the central challenge to global growth.

They have one, too? Maybe they just need a fresh shot of porkulus borrowing.
Absurd.
It’s the Bush tax cuts that did it. He lowered taxes all across Europe.
Hong Kong announced it’s in recession? That’s big news.
NWO’s man of the hour.../s
And.....if they don’t obey “the anointed one?” What then?
They will be made to hold large books over their heads until they can’t hold them anymore? Even worse punishments?????
That will really scare the hell out of them and make them do something.
/sarc
They need more “green energy”. That stuff means jobs, jobs, jobs!
“Global growth”? How about the growth of our own country? We can’t help anyone else if we can’t help ourselves. When when these people realize this? By the way......if the United States is broke, if Europe is broke, if Russia is broke......where is all the money? Did they just burn it all?
The child in the white house does not have enough gravitas to read the riot act to a bunch of girl scouts let alone the leaders of Europe....
Did they laugh hysterically, say “get the plank out of your own eye first”, and hang up?
Had to double check to make sure this wasn’t from The Onion or somewhere similar. Who’s going to listen to this whine ass whose main goal is saving his own hide?
What an arrogant f****. It still amazes me.
I’m surprised they even answer the phone to him.
Please, send them Bernanke!
Not exactly the words I was gonna use, but this sums up my thoughts well enough that I won't even bother to try. Good job!
Just clearing the desk before his next vacay to Bali, Australia, etc.
If ever there was a case of the POT calling the KETTLE BLACK this is the best example ever.
Achtung Europe! (do you guys like my Austrian?)
Sternly worded letters to follow!
And no Christmas veggie basket from the WH garden for you unless you play together!
Now, if you need need me, call me. I’ll be in Bali.

maybe they will respect...the comfy chair.
“Come on guys, you gotta go big here. This is really hurting my re-election. You know what I mean? So come on... please? Pretty please?”
