Dana Perino, the White House press secretary, said: "The president obviously talked to President Sarkozy about his idea to have a meeting. The president's open to that."

The venue for the meeting would still have to be decided, although Washington is the likely destination.

The EU has moved on and notice Bush wasn't invited. Now Bush is panhandling for money and everyone's laughing. Americans see not a dime go for the bailout as we were told it's going to vacations for AIG, Jeb Bush/George HW Bush and other friends and much to Goldman Sachs. Now when Paulson is finished handing out the money to friends he'll come back and ask for more money to help the banks.

America this was the biggest STING ever.
