    Czech PM attacks Obama spending

    The Czech prime minister has condemned US President Barack Obama's economic recovery plans as "a way to hell".

    Mirek Topolanek was speaking in the European Parliament, in his capacity as current holder of the EU presidency.

    Hours before his remarks, President Obama appealed for all countries to bear the burden of spending to stimulate the world economy.

    Mr Topolanek said the biggest success of last week's EU summit was its refusal to copy the US example.

    His intervention comes 10 days before the G20 summit meeting in London and coincides with a visit to New York by UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has called for a "worldwide fiscal and monetary stimulus".

    Other European leaders, particularly French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, want tougher financial regulation to be the priority of the G20.

    Mr Topolanek, whose government collapsed last night in a Czech parliament vote of no-confidence, said the United States was not taking "the right path".

        Lyrics to, "road to nowhere."

        Well we know where were goin
        But we dont know where weve been
        And we know what were knowin
        But we cant say what weve seen
        And were not little children
        And we know what we want
        And the future is certain
        Give us time to work it out

        Were on a road to nowhere
        Come on inside
        Takin that ride to nowhere
        Well take that ride

        Im feelin okay this mornin
        And you know,
        Were on the road to paradise
        Here we go, here we go

        Chorus

        Maybe you wonder where you are
        I dont care
        Here is where time is on our side
        Take you there...take you there

        Were on a road to nowhere
        Were on a road to nowhere
        Were on a road to nowhere

        Theres a city in my mind
        Come along and take that ride
        And its all right, baby, its all right

        And its very far away
        But its growing day by day
        And its all right, baby, its all right

        They can tell you what to do
        But theyll make a fool of you
        And its all right, baby, its all right

          Yep, the American empire IS falling, not just those peoples that America has terroised like Iraq/Afgan/Vietham....South America.....Central America Etc (Most of the World)...but all those she has insulted (The Rest of the World).

          Yes the US (& 51st State) are "Bingo fuel".

              Tremors will be felt beyond Czech borders

              The Czech Republic is, like the rest of Europe, being bitten by the global economic crisis - but that is not why its government was unseated in a confidence vote on Tuesday.

              It may be tempting for foreign editors gazing at a map of Europe to add the Czechs to the short list of European governments (Iceland, Latvia and Hungary) that have fallen victim to the global slump.

              But Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek's downfall had nothing to do with the recession. It wasn't the economy, stupid.

              Rather it was the determination of a small group of defectors, two from Mr Topolanek's Civic Democrat party, two from the coalition Greens, to help the left-wing opposition bring him down.

              They did so for ideological or personal reasons, or in some cases both. One Civic Democrat renegade said he had voted against the government because his party had supported the Lisbon Treaty. That should make the Eurocrats in Brussels very worried. more...

                Several members of the liberal Czechoslovak leadership have been arrested, including Prime Minister Alexander Dubcek.

                  yes, quite right and we all know what eventually happened to the Glorious Soviet Empire and how it all fell apart and folded quickly like a cheap suitcase due to trying to maintain an empire while internal corruption and economic failure eventually killed it

                  hmm sounds familiar??

                        Chris Rea - The road to hell Lyrics

                        (1st 2 stanzas cut, emphasis added)

                        Well I'm standing by a river
                        But the water doesn't flow
                        It boils with every poison you can think of
                        And I'm underneath the streetlights
                        But the light of joy I know
                        Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
                        And the perverted fear of violence
                        Chokes a smile on every face
                        And common sense is ringing out the bells
                        This ain't no technological breakdown
                        Oh no, this is the road to Hell

                        And all the roads jam up with credit
                        And there's nothing you can do
                        It's all just bits of paper
                        Flying away from you

                        Look out world take a good look
                        What comes down here
                        You must learn this lesson fast
                        And learn it well
                        This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
                        Oh no, this is the road to Hell

                            Soon we'll be away from here
                            Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
