Sarko and Merkel are also strongly resisting Obama’s stimulus ideas. They want a more unified regulation of finance activities, but they are not willing to throw taxpayers’ money down Obama’s drain. This could be bad for Merkel in the next election because Steinmeier can pull the heartless conservative line to inflame the voters. This is already threatening in the GM-Opel problem. If Obama undermines Merkel, we have Vlad’s friends governing Germany. I don’t think Sarko would like that too much, nor would I. We won’t even get in to want Eastern Europe would think.
