I love Richard and Ed quibbling over the G-20 Communique language. They need to fight it out., gladiator style.
So excited to see Anderson's coverage. Always proud to be American, finally proud to have my pres. represent me abroad!
Who is going to "enforce" this communique and make sure they are going to attempt to do what they have promised in it. Who is going to monitor the progress? Is it just going to be another document that is nothing more thatn words on a piece of paper that will end up being ignored?
I think that "new world order" business that Brown is talking about is frightening.
@ Erica, neither can I. Time flies.
Hi Anderson, Erica, bloggers and facebook/twitter buddies,
I just saw Michelle Obama speak to that room of women and she is very powrful!
What the fuss about the queen being "huggy". Maybe she was just in a warm and fuzzy mood, afterall, she looks very sweet and grandmotherly in her pink dress. Let her live a little!
sticking up a gas station with his daughter next to him... He seems NOT to be the brightest light around..
haha richard quest is the bomb! watching him and the americans together discussing the G20 so clearly illustrates the differences in the american and british culture 😉
wow, kudos the the First Lady for reaching out and taking advantage of being in a different country. She has a different kind of power in England, its good that she is using it.
Hi, everyone. I can't believe it's Thursday already – not that I'm complaining 🙂
The "New World Order" term has been circulating widely (in at least the US) since Bush Sr. In certain conspiratorial circles, it's a very, very nasty term...
Richard Quest...lol he's great!
That's family values for you... where are we headed, oh yea, thats right...
Haha, Richard Quest is kind of bold to state that he thinks the stage was set for a global regulator. Clearly doesn't know the US as well he thinks.
It's cool! We experience this meeting
@ Michelle
I completely agree. The Obamas... what a breath of fresh air....
Oh goodie, Mr.Quest is back :]
New World Order? That's a scary thought for many reasons.
Have a great flight back, hope you enjoyed the scones and english tea
I haven't heard mention of the dispute between China and France that President Obama negotiated an agreement over. Quite heated I hear. Now, if only he could get republicans to listen to others. THAT would be a feat.
Lol Richard and Ed together are great.
The executive pay regulations are nearest and dearest to MY heart. Talk about a symbolic issue! No more golden parachutes for tin men with no hearts.
Not every nation wants to become a socialists haven like the United States, there is some hope left in the world I guess
Hello everyone! Happy Thursday!
While I wasn't able to check CNN much during the day, but I'm very proud of our President and First Lady this evening. They look fantastic on the world stage.
@Mike - building up the third world gives us markets for our goods.
Here we go!!!!! I love Richard Quest is teasing Anderson and Ed!!!! they are great people of CNN!
Evening Anderson, Erica, David, 360 team and groovy bloggers! Looking forward to tonight's show. I read the article about the G20 leaders and their "trillion dollar boost" plan...interesting. The "new world order" term almost sounds scary though...doesn't it?
Richard Quest is hilarious! i love him!!!
Hello to Anderson – across the pond, Team 360 and Fellow Bloggers.
Interesting day at the summit. I was proud of our president.
Looking forward to Anderson's interview with Tim Geithner.
Yeah, more Richard Quest!
We got it right! Barack Obama is the right person for this job at this time. The world credits us, because we picked him. Nothing's perfect; there wioll be missteps. But, wow, we're off to a terrific start!
Obama sounded somewhat defensive. I'm not sure how spending money in the third world helps us.
Good evening all! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thursday!
I'm glad to hear that President Obama views the summit as a success...now to wait and see if it has any effect on our global economy!
President Obama is the best thing to happern
for America in quite some time.
