The Economist has a great article on the fight between the European Parliament and the new European Commission president, José Manuel Barroso. Barroso has had to pull his slate of heads of posts within the Commission. While it makes for great drama, it is certainly not the way Barroso wanted to start out. It seems to me that Barroso and the EU Parliament got into a staring contest and Barroso blinked.
The Economist article is really quite a good read...
