Obama endorses Europe crisis moves
(LOS CABOS) - US President Barack Obama said after the G20 summit that it was clear European leaders understood the stakes in battling the eurozone crisis and were acting with "heightened" urgency.
Obama also welcomed efforts by Europe laid out at the summit in the Mexican resort of Los Cabos to work towards a "more integrated financial architecture" in the 17-nation eurozone.
"I think that what I have heard from European leaders... they understand the stakes, they understand why it is important for them to take bold and decisive action and I am confident they can meet those tests," Obama said.
"I always show great sympathy for my European friends because they don't have to deal with one Congress, they have to deal with 17 parliaments, if you are talking about the eurozone.
"They have to work through all the politics to get it done and markets are a lot more impatient," Obama said at a press conference at the end of the summit.
"What I have encouraged them to do is to lay out a framework for where they want to go in increasing European integration in resolving the financial pressures that are on sovereign countries."
"I am confident that over the next several weeks, Europe will paint a picture of where we need to go."

Obama endorses europe..
Last week one of canadas prominent news papers printed a list of desirable social issues and declared that canada was "Number one" in all but one among the G20 countries. It was mostly about the women's rights issues.
What a bunch of self centered (typical canadian) cods wallop?????
What they craftily and conveniently neglected to list among the list of social issues where canada is most certainly "the number one" are the following:
- Around 36 street walkers were viciously butchered, fed to pigs in a pig farm in vancouver and later sold as pork chops for public consumption. canada; Number one.
- more than 160 women in and around vancouver are missing (presumed murdered) and the provincial and the federal governments have done zero to find the killers. canada ; Number one.
- more than 162,000 children mostly in british columbia canada go to bed hungry regularly and that simpleton for a prime minister when tasked by the UN to do something about it, starts foaming around the mouth and denies that there is hunger in his country.
Truth should be known. canada: number one.
- Millions of baby seals have been viciously clubbed to death by a bunch of lazy newfee canadians who are too lazy to work but use that butchering as an excuse to qualify for state benefits while they soak up the tax payer's funds. More pigs in the trough??? Canada; Number one.
- A prime minister and his ignorent cabinet that has treated the world with contempt thereby alienating them and when left all alone where no country even- haiti- pays any attention to canada, and reduced to forming alliances with a murdering pirate country in the eastern mediterranean that calls itself a "moderate democracy???????" more codes wallop.
but canada; Number one.
this list could go on and on but what is the point?
Him and his ignorant and arrogant band of ameteurs
at politics are only too glad to reap the benefits of being in power while it lasts.
but, history will repeat itself soon.
they will be kicked out and become extint just like in 1992 after the disaster of the conservatives of the lying balony days.
