You'd think Obama would have enough to do just worrying about the USA.

His spending is out of control, so he's really not in any position to be advising.

It is worrying about the United States. Can you imagine if 25% of our manufactured goods demand evaporated over night? Thats what will happen (roughly) if Europe tanks.

Obama has no business to tell Germany anything.
Merkel will probably just tell him to get lost like she has done over the last 3.5 years since he became POTUS.
He is not the dictator of the world, just the dictator of this country.

He isn't telling anyone what they have to do. He is ASKING, which is a major normal process in diplomatic relationships.

We ask countries to do things all the time, like we ask Israel to do things all the time, as well as Egypt and other countries.

Do you know anything about economic diplomacy?

Israel is telling Obama to get lost all the time and so will Germany. He can ask but his wishes won't be fulfilled. He acts like the empty suit he is.

Yes I know of economic diplomacy. Merkel will tell Obama in very economic diplomatic way to get lost.

Seems like Obama thinks Germany will listen to him.

Merkel will probably just snuff him.
Just so ya know, if Germany does not continue to help Europe then they will crash, guess who crashes the day after they crash, take as many guesses as you need for reality to kick in.

Israel should be cut off the US money tit, it way past time we stopped supporting them with money we do not have, besides with friends like them we do not need enemies, and if we are not very careful they will plunge the world into WWIII.

Nope. Europe needs Germany more than Germany needs Europe. Look at Scandinavia and Switzeland none of them have the Euro and they are doing quite well. Europe won't crash. South Europe and France just need to learn to live within their means.

Correct, thing is they are all that is standing between the rest of the EU and finacial collapse. Once again, if that happens we are next, the world is interconnected economically and where one major sector goes, so do the rest.
