"Obama: G20 brought economy back from brink" by Tom Raum and Emma Vandore, Associated Press Writers | September 26, 2009
PITTSBURGH -- President Barack Obama brushed off demonstrations in the city. He said they were mild compared with some in the past at international gatherings.
Yeah, thanks for the DISRESPECT to PEOPLE WHO ELECTED YOU, sir!?
I DIDN'T, I VOTED for RALPH NADER last time out, so I'm not feeling the slight; however, WHERE ARE the LIBERALS and the "LEFT?"
Oh, right, they WERE OUT PROTESTING!!!!
"I fundamentally disagree with their view that the free market is the source of all ills," he said. "Many of the protests are just directed generically at capitalism. ... One of the great things about the United States is you can speak your mind."
To a point.
Obama said actions taken so far "brought the global economy back from the brink."
"We leave here today confident and united," Obama said at the conclusion of a two-day gathering of the world's 20 top economies....
"Pittsburgh was a perfect venue for this work," Obama said of the one-time despairing Rust Belt city. "This community has known its share of hard times. It picked itself up and dusted itself off. It serves as a model for turning the page to a 21st century."
Obama, at a wrap-up news conference, talked about actions of the G-20 as creating or saving "millions of jobs..... Now we must make sure that when growth returns, jobs do, too."
Oh, man, his shoveling of bovine excrement is worse than Bush!
Yet the U.S. economy alone has lost 3.1 million jobs since January when Obama took office. Since the recession started in December, 2007, some 6.9 million jobs have disappeared.....
Yeah, it is OVER 7 MILLION NOW since the RECESSION the MSM HID for 10 months started! That's creating jobs? Or saving them even?
The leaders agreed to keep stimulus plans, which include government spending and low interest rates, generally in place in their respective countries for now to avoid derailing still-fragile recoveries.....
Meanwhile, if you read the Globe today or two weeks ago they tell the economy is going to come roaring back!
The LIES are beginning to be PHYSICALLY PAINFUL!!!
Obama also said that G-20 leaders would spare no effort to reach a global warming agreement at an international gathering later this year in Copenhagen.....
And if you can believe it (and believe me, readers, you can; would I take up so much time doing this if it ere not true?), the Globe cut this from my printed paper:
Translation; It is WE, the PEOPLE, period!!!!

But what is the ONE GLIMPSE the GLOBE GIVES YOU all week?
"G-20 leaders near deal on banker pay; Police use smoke, pepper spray to break up protest" by Tom Raum and Daniel Lovering, Associated Press | September 25, 2009
PITTSBURGH - Clashes between protesters and police that began at just about the time that President Obama and his wife, Michelle, arrived for the gathering.
As if on cue, cui bono?
Police fired canisters of pepper spray and smoke at marchers after anarchists responded to calls to disperse by rolling trash bins and throwing rocks. Hundreds of protesters, many advocating against capitalism, tried to march from an outlying neighborhood toward the convention center where the summit is being held.
A is for AGENT as well as ANARCHIST, folks!
The marchers included small groups of self-described anarchists, some wearing dark clothes and bandanas and carrying black flags, others wearing helmets and safety goggles. They did not have a permit and, after a few blocks, police declared it an unlawful assembly. Police in riot gear moved in to break it up....

Oh, here is your BOSTON GLOBE UPDATE, courtesy of the CIA's favorite paper (think Operation Mockingbird, readers):
"G-20 to take a bigger role in global economy; Backs rules aimed at averting crises" by Annys Shin and Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post | September 26, 2009
WASHINGTON - The leaders of the 20 largest economies officially anointed themselves the steering committee of the global financial system yesterday and reached a series of agreements aimed at navigating the world out of recession and onto the path of recovery.
Wow, WHAT ARROGANCE!!! Yup, GLOBAL GOVERNMENT in FULL VIEW -- something the Glob doesn't want shit-chewing yokels like us rubes out here knowin'! Too late, Globe; my mind has been opened and it will never close again because of the internet. So take your s*** and stuff it back where you got it from!!!!
President Obama, hosting his first Group of 20 summit, managed to achieve most but not all of his top objectives, including getting member nations to agree to review one another’s economic policies to ensure they do not provoke a repeat of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
“Because our global economy is now fundamentally interconnected.... ’’ Obama said at a news conference at the close of the two-day meeting.....
We didn't get any change at all except the president's skin color.
Might as well have just kept W.
The members agreed to use the International Monetary Fund to help review their economic policies....
Yeah, they done a great job the last 50 years.
The G-20 also agreed to make itself the principal forum for global economic issues, eclipsing the older, West-dominated Group of Eight and further institutionalizing the new economic order....
Sort of like a NEW WORLD ORDER?!!!!!
Changing the structure of those institutions is key to helping prevent future crises, said Simon Johnson, a former IMF chief economist and Peterson Institute fellow. Countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan began building huge reserves after the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s and their bad experiences with the IMF....
Don't worry; everyone has and does!
