The Greek p.m. comments on the bailout:
On Friday, Papandreou said he hoped accessing the rescue package would give Greece the breathing room it needs to move forward on his reform agenda, which includes modernizing the Greek state and tackling the country’s pension morass. Evoking the ancient hero Odysseus and his epic journey home from the Trojan War, the American-born Prime Minister also warned that Greeks should have no illusions about how tough the process will be. “We are on a difficult path, a new odyssey for Greece and for the Greek nation,” he said. “But we know the way to Ithaca, and we have charted the waters in our quest.” Odysseus’ quest took 10 years. The Greeks can only hope their journey to fiscal solvency won’t take as long.
