European Leaders lauded our free-market system when they were making money.\u00a0 Today, their answer is more regulation of financial markets in an effort to move our system towards the Euro-Socialist model<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Leaders from the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies<\/span> are being hosted on Friday night and on Saturday by a U.S. president who will be out of office in little more than two months and who is under pressure from Europe<\/span> to agree to stricter market regulation than he prefers.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A lame duck President, George Bush has a chance to make a stand for free markets at this conference.\u00a0 European leaders will most likely tolerate his stand while they lick their chops for January 20, 2009.\u00a0 Europe’s favorite American President, Barack Obama, will face intense pressure from our ancestors to conform to their models next year.<\/p>\n

President Bush:<\/p>\n

“While reforms in the financial sector are essential, the long-term solution to today’s problems is sustained economic growth,” Bush told a New York audience. He said critics were “equating the free enterprise system<\/span> with greed, exploitation and failure” and objected to it.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The answer is not to try to reinvent that system,” Bush said. “It is to fix the problems we face, make the reforms we need, and move forward with the free-market principles that have delivered prosperity and hope to people around the world.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Germany:<\/p>\n

German officials said before the meeting that it will discuss “a new balance between market and state,” possibly a more ambitious aim than the Bush administration favors.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

France:<\/p>\n

French President Nicolas Sarkozy<\/span> sounded an aggressive note on Thursday as he prepared to head for the summit.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am leaving for Washington to explain that the dollar, which after the Second World War<\/span> was the only currency in the world, can no longer claim to be the only currency in the world,” he said. “What was true in 1945 cannot be true today.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great Britain:<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown<\/span> claimed on Wednesday there was growing support for increased fiscal measures globally to help weather the crisis and indicated he might press that theme at the summit.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
