Steve Pearlstein gives G20 two thumbs up

His hit all corners take on the summit?

1. Sarko got at least the appearance of IMF reform;
2. Brown got to rail against the “old system” while still standing apart from Sarko;
3. Obama gets Western Europe to actually do more stimulus work, albeit via the mechanism of IMF loans, and at the same time can use Sarko’s reform call as a cudgel at home.

At the next G20, in September in New York, we’ll see how this has played out.
