Buffet pal and US billionaires shop for distressed businesses in Ireland

From some of the comments here maybe Buffet and friends should let the Germans or French, maybe the Brits buy all the distressed businesses in Irealand. Obviously they don't want American money involved. China might be a good choice as well. It's clear Ireland needs some help, with everyone jumping ship, again, as the economy goes south. Sorry but under theses conditions you don't get to pick and choose who puts money into your economy.

@@@IrelandNorth | Apr 04, 2012, 05:44 AM EDT Why not petition the United States Federal Government for Ireland as a whole to become the 51 state of the American Union. That would solve the problem of partition in perpetuity. Then the UK as currently constituted could petition to become the 52 state. And we could call it Anglophonia or Oceania. Might counter the Tower of Babel that is the European Union increasingly.>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HA HA DO U REALLY THINK WE WOULD WANT TO BE THE 52ND STATE ? I DONT THINKS SO . ID RATHER STARVE WE ARE EUROPEANS NOT AMERICAN I FIND YOUR REMARK VERY OFFENSIVE INDEED. WE HAVE OUR OWN CULTURE OUR OWN IDENTITY. THE COUNRTY IS GOING THROUGH A DOWN TURN SO WHAT? .. BUT WE ARE JUST FINE THE WAY WE ARE THANKS ..

OH DEAR LOOK OUT !! THE AMERICAN 'VULTURES' ARE ON THE WAY !! .. KEEP OUT WE DONT WANT YOUR MONEY THANKS WE DOING JUST FINE WITHOUT IT..

Indeed they would rather lock up a 16 year for speaking his mind on a pubic forum than arrest an apparently (so we are led to believe) fully grown man for gunning down a 16 year in cold blood old for doing nothing more than appearing to act suspicious.That,s the world we live in at the moment.Take note.There,s more to come.

Indeed we are fast becoming the 52nd state.A truly lamentable position to find ourselves in.A have a feeling when all this is over Ireland will be far worse of than it was before.Maybe then people will sit up and take notice of the bigger picture.Enda Kenny is nothing more than a puppet for the old money club of Ireland.The landed gentry.i.e the first or second wave of british invaders that settled the land sometime around the 16 century.The are about as Irish as the Queen of England. No wonder they get on so well with her.But id have better shut up because such talk is deemed unfashionable.Whats more it is even deemed unpatriotic in some circles.That is the general public have been so brainwashed by centuries of propaganda that they indeed hate their own culture and indulge in obvious self loathing.But i digress.

bythebay: You are wrong!

As an American I wish we had a man like Warren Buffet or any of his colleagues running for president. Warren Buffet is a completely decent man who is leaving all his money to world charity causes. He still lives in the home he was born in and I trust him implicity. Running for US president we have a Bishop of the Mormon Church or whatever they call it who wants to go to war with Russia. Apparently Christ's message, Love thy neighbor as you love yourself doesn't apply to Russia. On the other hand we have Santorum, a professed staunch Catholic who is so worried about babies and I do love babies. However this Christian wants to go to war with China. Apparently Chinese babies don't count and I would bet this man doesn't even know the population of China. These two idiots have disguised themselves as Christians, but they are truly sheep in wolves in clothing. And how about US troops in Australia. Hoorah for her "lowness." No American has had a vote on this piece of work.

Ah jaysis sure there yiz all were complaining about the Chinese investing and sure now that its yourselves yiz arent moaning at all!

@Murph46: I don't want feeding from your mucky little hands...........I want the money your pretentious corporations fleeced out of Ireland and i will feed myself.

Loyal there are no economic rules that apply under the situation of good company and bad balance sheet.So your blithering of supply & demand does not mean anything!And as far as insult,you have done nothing but denigrate the hand coming to feed you so go blow smoke up someone elses arse!

@Murph46: Its hardly going to be a rescue plan if you insult your customers...........Do you know about supply and demand or are you out to fleece us again?

You are the one out of touch you fool! Not one shred of evidence have you forwarded but you continue to shoot sh... out of your mouth.Have a nice life you psycho pathetic slug.
