BRITISH TORY REVOLTED AGAINST MERKOZY

«Merkozy» is a spiteful nickname of the Merkel-Sarkozy duet, ruling the European Union that London-based euro-skeptics from the Conservative Party (who name themselves Tory just like four centuries ago) invented. Great Britain with its Sterling looks quite safe (especially on the background of a collapsing euro-zone), but the urgent measures for saving the European currency will ricochet to the UK finances one way or another.

WHAT DO OBAMA AND SARKOZY HAVE IN COMMON?

Who of these Presidents is better off three months before the election year ends? Is it Sarkozy — not particularly popular, but featuring a reputation of a steady leader, navigating the country through the crisis? Or is it Obama, whose lifestyle and behavior cause no contempt among his compatriots, but whose authority in the matters of American economics and foreign policy is growing all the more dubious?
