Greece Is Obama's Problem?
It's difficult to wrap your mind around this:
To think that only a couple of years ago the Euro was being pushed as a reserve currency....
In a speech at the Washington-based Brookings Institution yesterday, Papandreou said the Greek crisis posed a financial risk to the U.S.Heh.

The US cannot do anything about all that debt - the US needs to look to its own debt, and the debt of its individual states.
‘Trade Deficit’
“For America, a weak euro means a rising dollar; that, in turn, means a rising U.S. trade deficit,” he said. If the EU, the U.S.’s biggest trading partner, “should falter, the consequences here would be palpable.”

Dude's figured out that the Germans are NOT going to pay for Greek excesses, hence he's wandering around in search of money. If I recall correctly, he's already visited Russia and gotten the same runaround that Iceland did.
