G20 and Puppies

A good laugh, from Politico:

The difficulty in working out and coordinating world policy while America's hands are effectively tied until Obama takes office was unintentionally made clear in the statement the group produced announcing that it  had  agreed to work toward "strengthening transparency and accountability, "enhancing sound regulation" "promoting integrity in financial markets," "reinforcing international cooperation" and "reforming international financial institutions." 

The anti-good-things-that-pretty-much-everyone-wants-in-principle lobby did not return phone calls by press time but is widely expected to oppose the agreement, and also to come out against puppies and sunsets.
