Poobah Problem
I have to laugh at pro-globalization news outlets that cover for politicians like German Chancellor Angela Merkel with a straight face. After all, Merkel's comment that the global leaders won't be able to solve all the world's economic problems at once -- referring to next week's G-20 poobah gathering in London -- is laughable. Global leaders, as we've seen time and again, don't solve problems, they create them. Expecting Merkel, Obama, or any of the rest of these scoundrels to be anything but con artists is just plain silly.
