Sarkozy Triumphantly Declares Financial Crisis has "Tamed the Animal Spirits of American Capitalism".....

Fucking cocksucker.....go lose another war......

WASHINGTON: President Nicolas Sarkozy of France left the summit meeting on the financial crisis here last weekend in a triumphal mood, declaring that it had tamed the animal spirits of American capitalism. Then he went home and announced that he would hold his own summit meeting in a few weeks in Paris — on the same topic.

That has raised hackles in diplomatic circles, not just because the meeting appears to compete with a planned gathering of 20 world leaders next April. Sarkozy's aggressive statements have put American officials on edge, with some saying that he seemed determined to turn the global crisis into a referendum on the ills of untrammeled capitalism.

"Sarkozy claimed he put a bell on the American cat," said Simon Johnson, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. "He said the U.S. had agreed to a whole range of negotiations on regulations. But he didn't actually come in and negotiate any of these things."

Making matters worse, Sarkozy said nothing about his plans to convene a meeting to President George W. Bush or the 18 other leaders while he was here. A senior European diplomat said he found the French proposal "amazing," while an American official said that that would be a charitable description.
