Barroso plays poker with the European Parliament
No matter which way it goes, this story is sweet as honey for me. Barroso had started his work with a show of arrogance towards the EP -- when he resigned from the Premiership of Portugal, before the EP even approved him as President of the Commission. Now, even if his Commission does end up barely passing, Barroso will have been taught a small lesson about modesty towards Parliamentary power.

I'm hoping his team fails though. It'll be even sweeter then, and a historical moment indeed.
