Looks Notwithstanding Hollande/Merkel Might Work:
Considering the critical challenges Hollande and Merkel will be confronted with going forward, it'll be interesting to see how these two "plain wraps" grapple with their differences in salvaging the EU and the Euro. With all the glitz and glamour of paper v. plastic, hopefully these bland blends are the brainiacs the West needs to stabilize Europe's decline.
Reportedly a closer temperamental match than his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy, Francios Hollande is a boring numbers guy. But that can be a good thing, considering its all about understanding the numbers these days.Remember, numbers don't lie only politicians and accounts do.
Angela Merkel, a trained physicist who says she analyzes everything throughly is another with a head for numbers. Kind of hard on the eye, but perhaps that's why her numbers always seem to tally up in the black.
Since Greece is but a heartbeat away from a total collapse and will likely drag Spain down with them, it's imperative the German/Franco negotiations deliver measurable and confidence building proposals right out of the gate.
With the whole world watching, its actually the US that stands to gain greatly should said proposals signal growth as a more positive option. Oddly enough, Hollande's populace fiscal philosophy would resonate as positively in the State of Wisconsin as it does in Tulle France.
As the American President continues his push for growth through equitable tax policies, investment in education, research and development, science and technology, renewable energy and green technologies, while maintaining a humane social safety net, Obama and Hollande could make for a rather dynamic duo themselves.
Hence, the Obama administration would be wise to fully appreciate how the immediate German/Franco cooperative can and will affect US short term economic conditions. It is imperative the US voter be reminded of the interconnectivity of the global economic outlook early and often.
The sooner that message is thoroughly understood, the sooner one can negate predictable GOP assertions, that their tried and failed policies could work this time around.
