Just when it looked like the European Union's bailout would begin to stabilize Greece, the situation got more complicated. On Monday, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou announced he’d call a public referendum so Greeks could vote on whether to accept the latest package.The move shocked just about everyone. Market jitters ensued. Greece’s finance minister checked into a clinic, citing severe stomach pains.
