My Hope Is That We

Many People Have Been Pontificating, And Patronizing, And Moralizing, And Scapegoating, Saying You Greeks, You Are The Problem. I Would Say We Greeks Have A Problem. We Are Not The Problem.

I Have Been Supporting The European Union, But We Are Still A Work In Progress. We Have To Become More Of A United States Of Europe. We Should Talk About Electing A President Of The E.u., Rather Than Having One Selected From The Heads Of Government.

I Never Thought Of Politics As A Profession.

The Greek People Do Not Want To Exit The Euro, And I Believe The Greek People Already Have Shown That They Have Made Major Sacrifices To Stay Within The Eurozone.

If We Were Going To Default, We Would Have Decided That Many Months Ago. It Would Be Wrong For The Greek Economy, It Would Be Wrong For The European Economy, It Would Make Things Worse In The End. That's Why We're Taking The Pain And Making These Structural Reforms, And We're On Target.
