9:01 am
but today. it is clear that the problems are real still for greece and for all of europe. a new days and a new challenge for george papandreou. we he went to see the greek president and in an effort to make a government in which it is easier to pass the tough cuts that are part of the bailout deal. it is unclear whether papandreou will be the prime minister in the new coalition . it is unlikely he will be as the key opposition figure said he has no desire to join such a coalition government. greece is depending on a new installment of funds from the european union and international monetary fund and that's why the vote was so important. the country has to show stability before the vote last night, the prime minister papandreou saying it was the country's last chance not to default and to get things in order. and meanwhile, in italy.

9:04 am
that if we go from bad to worse with one basket case after another. there is not enough money in the world to bail them out. >> they did agree to boost the international monetary fund. the u.s. contributes a great deal to the fund. how can we keep funding them and bailing them out begin the situation of our own debt. >> there will be a come to zeus moment . they realize we can't do this . we don't have the mon tow do it. and had even in germany. german voters said to merkel. you got to cool it. they are ticked off that they have to be the biggest contributor to the rescues that come on behind on generous mention and protection by the governments than germans are and they resent that. i am not saying they will not
9:05 am
try to gloss over the differences. but the differences are pal papable . opposition leaders not talking to one another in greece and having their temper tantrums and opposition ignoring berlusconi and berlusconi ignoring the protestors and in france, sarkozy ignoring the fellow conservatives who said he sold his soul to the ecomic devil. and in all of these cases. divided governments and recognition there was just so much money to keep it going. that means there is not enough mon tow keep it going. painting a sobering portrait indeed. and how about america's attempt to get out of debt. they have less than a month to come up with a plan to cut trillions was dollars.

9:08 am
an agreement. >> i think it is so bad most members will try to stay away. and we can't do that. we have to have a pressure on us to come up with a grand bargain . so a majority of the members of congress and super committee. can they put politics behind. >> we have one chance to do this. if we don't, you will see the economy go through the floor. >> can they put it aside in an election year when the cuts are made. >> i hope so. the good part about this, it is bipartisan. every time the country faced a problem. the solution is bipartisan. it has to be bipartis an. it is 45 senators saying the
