And why are we listening or even reporting on this story?

[Beavker]

From the leader of the Czech Repluplic (who by rotation is the President of the EU)? A member that received a vote of no confidence and needs to be replaced when a new government is established? Yet he's the President of the EU. Boy they'll let anyone run that thing. Also, CNBC only mentions his comment and the "backlash" from the EU, not the fact that most of the members are denouncing his comments and back Obama.

1. I didn't even know about it until I saw this post.

And I still don't know about, really.

2. Check out the New York Times for a complete story and comments.

9. Good call

The article as others i've seen completely debunks the Czech Presidents statement. Leave it to CNBC right wing wall street television to conveniently avoid mentioning that. Great journalism from CNBC again.

3. why are YOU "listening or even reporting on this story?" hmm nt

8. I'm forced to watch CNBC all day, and they are the ones bringing it up.

They are also helping talk down what was a pretty good day for the market. I've heard nothing but right wing shit since about 8am this morning. Bad news. Skepticism. These guys help effect the market and thus our economy, and should be shut down.

12. "I'm forced to watch CNBC all day"

I thought Obama outlawed torture......

[Beavker]

13. I live in a Red State...

It will be last to suspend torture activiites. Plus I work in the Financial Services Industry, so to some folks in my area CNBC is like a Financial Rush Limbaugh.

4. Simply because the USA is the "center of the universe" ... even when we watch

BBC America, it truly is ALL ABOUT AMERICA. :puke:

7. I hadn't heard it until you brought it up. Wonder why that is?

11. In fairness to the OP, this story is out in the media today and I'm glad they posted this

additional information as it shows what utter horseshit it is.

10. I long for the days when news was more than just coverage ..

of the political bickering in this country.

14. And now, their "movie voice guy" says Obama's stimulus bill is

waging an international war on the economy. Wow.
