Conservative parties won big in the European Union elections. German and French conservatives made the largest gains. The EU said center-right parties were expected to take the most seats.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party sent a historic defeat to their center-left rivals in the European Parliament vote.
Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have been against any European stimulus, unlike British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has been under heat to resign.
This shows that many Europeans are upset at how the current liberal-socialist parties have dealt with a world-wide recession by taking over banks and private companies.

Obama: No tension between he and Germany's Merkel
The most merciful President Barack Obama ended all speculation that there has been a rift between he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at today's press conference in Dresden, Germany.
A German reporter asked Obama about his relationship with Merkel. Obama responded saying, “I think your characterization of wild speculation is accurate — they are very wild and based on no facts. So stop it, all of you. I know you have to find something to report on, but we have more than enough problems out there without manufacturing problems.”
In reality, there is a rift. Merkel was close to President George W. Bush on foreign policy.

Below is a satirical poem about Lord Barack Obama:
Barack loves me this I know
For the media tells me so
Citizens with big doe eyes
We are dumb but he is wise
yes Barack loves me
yes Barack loves me
Yes Barack loves me
The media tells me so
