Obama in contact with EU leaders on debt crisis, WH says

U.S. President Barack Obama is in contact with European leaders about steps being taken to ensure the European economy and the euro currency remain strong in the midst of a debt crisis, White House spokesman Bill Burton said.

"This is obviously something the president has been concerned about, having called leaders in Europe to discuss aggressive measures they ought to be taking and are taking to ensure their economy and the euro is strong," he told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday.
