Even before the flood of Middle Eastern and North African refugees into the European continent, most countries there were already in poor shape. Despite numerous bailouts from the rest of the European Union (EU), Greece continues to refuse to abide by the austerity measures proposed by the more financially responsible countries — such as Germany — implemented as a condition of those bailouts. Greece continues to pay out lavish pensions to its young retirees despite not having the financial standing to do so. Over one-quarter of working-age Greeks are unemployed — over 51% of young Greeks remain jobless. Greece is not the only country in dire straits.
Spain, Italy, and Portugal are all in awful economic shape as well. Spain’s unemployment rate is nearly as high as Greece (23%), and Italy (12%) and Portugal (13%) aren’t doing well either. For all of these reasons — and more — the United Kingdom is strongly considering leaving the troubled European Union. President Obama is currently visiting Great Britain and took a pause from lecturing them about their possible departure from the EU to brag about how he has saved the world economy. To read about President Obama’s proclamation and its incongruence with reality in Europe, continue reading on the next page:
B S!!!
A legend in his own mind.
Obama is so full of c**p….
Talk about a God complex. This President is Nuts. He has delusions of Granger. He has almost single handedly Distroyed the economy of the United States of America. If Obama has his way we’ll all be on welfare.
By borrowing billions you’ve put us deeper in debt than ever before !! Jackass, fix the debt then run your mouth !!
….it’s Super$#%&!@*
what a fruitcake
More FACTS for all of you blind folded right wingers.
12 years of NON jobs creating tax cuts for the wealthy, two unfunded wars and a disastrous economy… This is what Obama inherited. Now as we all know tax revenues come from earnings, people’s pay checks. The stagnat/slave wages of 49% of American workers DO NOT contributed to our tax revenues… Again, who is standing in the way of higher tax paying wages?
Have any of you looked in a mirror lately?
BTW… None of you answered my questions on your so called job bills and on what have you done for this country lately.
People are laughing at you all over the world! Europeans hate you! You are a traitor to the world! You will always be a danger to the world, in or out of the White House!
He wills break his arm patting himself on the back! Does 19 plus trillion in national debt sound familiar to anyone?
