Hume Thinks Being The "Toast of Europe" Is a Bad Thing

[slopri]

No disrespect to USA, but we Europeans don't take people from the USA very seriusly, becouse we think you're not very smart (no offence). Like, the whole nation of americans belive they live in a great country, but when you look at the statistics you get the real picture:

A few examples:

-Poverty precentage:

France-9,8%

USA-19,5%

-Incomes per capita are higher in almost the whole europe, somewhere (luxemburg, norway, they're 3 times higher than the USA)lol

@slopri

please speak for yourself and not for the whole of Europe, your comment only shows that there are also dumb Europeans...

[arch571332]

@slopri That is not correct.

1) Poverty is defined as the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. Rich nations like the US have very generous standards of poverty by comparison.

2) The average income for the United States using the PPP method is $37,500. The only two places in the whole world that exceed this are Luxemburg and Bermuda. The PPP method is more accurate because it also accounts for cost of living and purchasing power.

@arch571332 homeless people and tent cities and you call that "generous" ?

[arch571332]

@Darusdei People in tent cites and homeless are also included as being in poverty. I was just illustrating that people living very well are still considered in poverty by US government standards. A single man that makes $10,000 a year is considered in poverty according to the census bureau.

[Darusdei]

@arch571332 well i guess 10k is above poverty if you happen to live somewhere where you can actually live with 10k a year

[arch571332]

@slopri 2008-the “poorest” 1/5 of US households spent average $12,955 per person.

It's NOT that anyone WANTS anyone anywhere to "hate" him, but he's the U.S. President, NOT the President of Europe! Who CARES what Europeans think? They have gotten it WRONG on issue after issue, and can't even DEFEND themselves! They incompetent socialists! Brit is just saying that he shouldn't have concentrated SO MUCH on having them "like" him! That's all. And he's ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Thanks, Brit Hume! Nov. 2010 and 2012 are coming!

[kidri0t]

lol 200k in berlin isnt that much

[Darusdei]

Yeah it's better that everyone hates you

that way you can have many friends...

you do need friends?

[shiningcityonahill]

All I can say is misery loves company.

[madmack09]

The world loved Clinton and Carter... wonder why??

Couldn't be because they both dismantled our position of strength in geopolitics, apologizing for America whenever they had the chance?

[kmg4]

Indeed. When enemies of freedom love a Democrat, that means it is because Democrats make America weak.

Democrats = Homocrats = Faggots

[covertone81]

Oh well yes. Its obvious isn't it? Having Europe, or the entire world for that matter, actually liking the American president is clearly a threat to US national security.

What a stupid argument these right wing nuts have.

[tuft112]

hume has masochistically destroyed his voice. r i p.

[thid1]

next brit will tell us that intelligence is a liability for a presidential candidate.

[JustThisGuyYaKnow]

LOL! Being popular both here and around is a bad thing. Yeah sure...

[armatus99]

those 200k people came freely, the where not ordered there like mccains "fans" who show up at those 200 people meetings....

[il128]

Sour Grapes much, Brit?

[Francebrasil]

Fox news is trash.. Toxic waste...

[kmg4]

Actually, it is the only fair news network, as it has pro-US people, as well as liberal faggots.

Other networks only have liberal faggots.

[blair227]

Do people actually watch this shit? I'm amazed anyone would listen to anybody on this panel,they've been wrong 100% of the time for 8 fucking years.BTW,does Hume still cry about accomodations on Air Force One?

[cindiloohoo]

Yes...it does have a downside, Hume...for you and the neocon scum you've been ass-kissing for years.

[FireBreathingDem]

Brit Hume thinks the default position of "pissin' off them Yurpeens" is a good thing. This is what stupid-people-thinking-with-th­eir-gut-type government has descended to, in 2008.

Had enough?

[durcetcurval]

For the first time in 8 years, a US politician is loved abroad and that makes Hume freak out. Oh well...

[martyR13]

i'm so tired of arguing with these people. i'm going to do something more productive, like bang my head against the wall. you guys have fun arguing with the fox news crowd. good luck

[Wendy62]

Yah. Brit Hume and his friends make my ears bleed.

[Nutrino2179]

Recalling what a swineherd GWB was during his visit to Germany is reason enough to feel pleased and relieved at the prospect of having a President whom we can count on to represent us graciously and not be a national embarrassment wherever he goes.

[darkally]

mcsame went to europe too, just no one wanted anything to do with him!

[vallejoelgrande]

Hahahahaha...uou're absolutely right! It's not Obama's fault nobody cared about McCain's trip to Europe, the Middle East, Canada, Mexico and Colombia. McSame would've never managed to get 200 people to listen to obne of his speeches, let alone 200,000 people--unless, of course, his traget audience were insomniacs.

[BJBlitzstein]

Either he is really stupid or a big liar. Of course Obama's trip was about the USA. Idjit.

Oh, and the toast of France too? Wouldn't he then be... uh...  French Toast?
