(Kind of a rambler, wasn't it) Didn't use a big enough flag and it blew away. There's a cold six pack of 40+ year old Bud out there somewhere.

But I digress --- U.S. President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown are normally a nice three of a kind to start any hand, but unless they are joined by their Chinese and especially Soviet/oops/Russian counterparts, absolutely nothing will happen. This will have given Obama an opportunity to meaninglessly talk tough on a foreign policy issue after a 7-8 month mush mouthing. 'Tis a pity the man cannot be as hard on national security and safety foes as he is those vicious retirees who oppose health care or any other of his policies.
