What a load of horse shit. How about giving all member states a legitimate uncorrupted referendum and well see how it all plays out? no? thought as much......... Democratic my ass!
Now we have a guy who is a low profile type, has studied finance, doesn't gow around saying sh*t about others.
Ofc most people wouldn't have voted for him. Because who would know a belgian politician? And every country would want THEIR politician to be the first European president. It would all come down to propaganda (and charisma)
And that's not really the best choice is it ? Charisma and propaganda ?
(A certain german dude used both .. Didn't end well)
every since herman van rompuy took office no one still take him serious, LMAO, but still they take president barack obama serious, im half black and a american the u.s. president is smart he have a LAW DEGREE, LIKE DUDE SAID IT TAKES ONE CONTINENT TO GET ON THE USA LEVEL AND THATS ASHAME PLUS THE EU JUST MAD CAUSE THIS NATION ROSE TO BEING A SUPERPOWER OUT DOING EUROPE IT SELF AND PLUS THE EUROZONE IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE DUE TO GREECE AND OTHER EU NATIONS NATIONAL DEBT PERIOD
u talk waay to much shit!! u americans don't know anything about europe,about the rest of the world! i lov obama,but the things he wants to do,or tries to do,i don't think he can't! look at the healthcare?! allmost every american is against it! so when u have a low budget in the U.S,and u wanna go to the dokter ur scruwed! u guys don't even know capitals of other countries! i'll bet u never been to another countrie before,and NO!! new york is not a countrie;)
@Makemyday242 no i dont, but u europeans try to conquer the world by any means necessary, first it was through the ANCIENT ROMAN EMPIRE, MR. BONAPARTE FIRST FRENCH EMPEROR, ADOLF HITLER AND THE NAZI PARTY, NOW ITS THROUGH THE REVIVE ROMAN EMPIRE/EUROPEAN UNION
Barack Obama was elected because he was black, and the Mexicans dreamed to legalize 20 million illegal alien mexicans, so that's why they voted for him for the Green Card, Otherwise, Obama is a corrupt communist scum, that is born in Kenya, not a natural born American.
Van Rompuy has a Doctorate degree in international finance.
While your Obama, got browny points from the Bush era only, he will not get re-elected the next time, because of his communist bolshevic Healthcare plan.
europe in war: 1815 napoleon,1870 germany-france, 1850 germany - Danish,1914 ww1, 1940 ww2, 1957 european union: no more war in western europe, hmm maybe it isn't bad to do the same thing with the rest of europe. and maybe the rest of the world, im just saying
Right, the U.S. is a large country. So is Canada. So is Russia. So is China.
I thought it was funny that in order to compete, the EU believed it had to bring together almost an entire continent! That would be like Mexico, Canada and the U.S. coming together!
The U.S. isn't even the largest country in its own continent.
For example, Brazil is a large country. Australia is a small continent. So we could say that Brazil is as large as a continent as well I suppose.
I'm personally a huge fan of Europe, not that big a fan of the EU. But like I said, I hold out hope for a solid, good, progressive, peaceful EU to rival America's power as an influence for good, rather than a rising, say, China (who isn't all bad at all, but i'm not a fan of communism).
Anyway, I just went off for no reason. My apologies.
Can you blame us for working together? Even the biggest EU countries are small compared to country's like the US, China, Russia. Why are you not a fan of the EU? Anyway the EU has a long way to go. Europe is a continent with lots of different cultures. We are far from united. There is still al lot of EU scepticisme.
I firmly believe that European countries don't need to compromise their sovereignty in order to compete with other countries like China and the U.S.
The more I learn about the formation of the EU, the more I think it is shady and un-democratic. Being an American, you would NEVER see Americans allow the U.S. to join with another country (Canada lets say). Be proud of you, IMO.
Europeans have been competing fine. They are very different. I don't think they are Europeans first -- but British, etc
But we do. Nobody would listen to obama if they knew he had no real power over the states. Same goes for europe. Nobody listens to a union of 27 states with 27 opinions. BTW I know al lot about the EU and it is not as undemocratic as sceptics would like it to be. Very simular to the USA (but maybe you don't think the USA is democratic)
Like Obama isn't part of the Global conspiracy to take down America as a super power. This is what we have been waiting for ; proof of the NWO and the start of the end of America as we know it. If you think everything is just coincidence you need to wake the fuck up. The trigger was 9-11 fallowed by the puppet show elections, the fall of the dollar ,the war on Christianity and the end game..... collapse of the United States of America. Watch for food shortages and marshal law to fallow.
i see why president obama didnt call the new EU President, president obama aint got time for that dorky bitch plus obama is noy gone take him serious at all plus world leaders will take obama very serious before the new EU President
better yet the whole EU is gone be a laughin stock internationally just for electing or selecting mr. herman von rompuy as their EU President, I'm still laughing my ass off at the EU
the new european union president herman van rompuy is such a laughing stock of europe no one is not gone take him serious at all, just look at him he's dorky people just laugh at him when they see him beside he does not have any national executive power, if he is the antichrist the devil should of did better the devil done really made his self look stupid of the endorsement of herman van rompuy, I'm a christian just making a point and LMAO AT THE EU
Its semantics, America is also a union of states. I will not be surprised when the European borders disappear and the Union of European States emerges as the new Communist superpower, with tight diplomatic ties to Russia and China. How soon after do you think they will land an army on US shores? But then again, I could be wrong.
Because we will create a Pan-European Union, of European nations and the Americans will tell you it's communist, the Eurasian continent it's 70% of the world riches, the British Empire understood the important geostrategic significance of this region, and so the US is fighting against us for dominance of this region, to sell their Coca Cola-Burger Donald stuff... without caring about human original cultures.
Europe is not communist, you better look at how Obama is communist first.
I disagree. The EU combined has a GDP about total of the United States. So it takes one continent to equal the US GDP.
Also, the US spends more on defense than the EU combined. 2nd place would be the EU, then China.
The thing the EU has, military wise, is the number of troops they have is far greater than the US troops. Same with China.
I've said for a long time, I greatly hope that the EU rises to become a united superpower. How nice it would be for America to not be the only superpower.
Every country can be occupied. Don't fool yourself. Anyway, I don't see why the EU and the US should fight eigh other. We have to much common interests.
As a matter of fact, I can see where the U.S. Dollar would be replaced by the Euro. I believe, eventually, that the United States would be disolved into the european economy and become part of the E.U. one govt system. Other countries would have no choice in the matter, including Britan. Gog / Magog (Russia) will remain on it's own with the possibility of the Ukraine reuniting with them.
Aren't you happy ? I am happy , but seems the Americans are doing everything they can to stop Europe, becoming a Federal Superstate, an "Hyperpuissance" above the USA.
There were NO weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - just as Dr. Hans Blix said; But the Republican media machine didn't want us to hear that.
And, there is NO dangerous climate change caused by human carbon dioxide - just as the "independent scientists" are now trying to tell us! But the Democrat media machine doesn't want us to hear that.
We are made to run from one boogieman to the next, as each political party achieves its own agendas for themselves & their money mates
This is just racism. You need to get over it. We won. Obama president now. You need to just leave if you don't like socialism. Power to the people! Free Mumia!
About the subject if they are democ. elected; That depends upon how one views our current democracy. Is it a "true" democracy? At what level of consiousness is the voters actually appointing their representatives (if they are actually voting out of lets say - tradition or if they vote out of a enlightened rational decision). True democracy would demand that the voters is actually (and fully) aware of what policy they are voting on - "The political man".
They are intellectual people, not somebody like stupid Obama who has not read even 1 / 2 page of economic textbook or corrupted Tim Gaithner who does not know how to use a Turbo Tax software.
Greenspan Gaithner and Bernake are filth. Its their inflationary policy and manipulation of the value of the Dollars status as the reserve currency that has caused this crisis. How can they link the price of a dollar to the arbitary whims of Arab states supply of oil, its crazy Saudi Arabia want to destroy the west!
Look at price of gold.
I can't wait for the Euro to be the reserve currency and to be linked to a basket of good and silver which is plentiful & hard to manipulate
it would be far easier for a corrupt country that is not working as a european country but as a co alation or monarchy whitch contradict the EU to be able to influence war or disease
as it is there is alot of countrys are with the european union for power an comfort and think that the roman catholic religion , monarchy & war are over europe and if they can not stop there countrys from failing because of corrupting them aginist europe . now can wait for rompuys abuse training to set in. NO
Those people are elected by democratic elected representatives of the European Unions countries. So they both are democraticly elected.
And i think they have made an exellent choise. Van Rompuy is not a man who wants to much attention on himself, he is great intelectual and has higly debating/negotiating skills.
Ghostdog0007: Oki, they are democratically elected by 27 people and only 1 of those 27 am i able to get rid of so so no they are not democratically elected for me nor is the President as i cant get rid of him if he does a bad job.
In my mind it doesnt matter if Van Rompuy will do a good job or not, we should be asked if we want someone at all doing the job in the first place, second, there are like 6 million swedes who never heard of the guy so i will not cast judgement on him as person.
@Ghostdog0007 The Islamic republic of Iran works in the same election order... Anyways the reason why the American government does not recognize the self-elected European monarchs is because there very roots have declared a very anti-American stance. Many press conferences they've had has had openings bashing America and Americans with opening statements. 0:14 Funny how all of them are to coward to answer the question and just look at each other.
@Ghostdog0007 Someone who was elected by some elected people who were elected by other elected people who were elected by another elected people who were actually elected in national election IS NOT democratically elected. That person has been given a job to do, by people who were given a job by other people who were given a job by another people who ARE democratically elected. AND THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE my boy.
@Ghostdog0007 wtf, are you talking about? They are not directly elected by the people, therefore they cannot be held accountable for their bs.. so what the fuck are you talking about? You must be from Belgium.. haha
As if Obama is going to call a president who has not even had to campaign. And can you image Ashton standing next to Hillary? Europe has the positions - thanks to the Lisbon Treaty, but does it have the proper people?
@Falsare Actually they are democratically elected. They were elected by the people we gave a mandate. If the every European civilian would vote it would always be the largest country that would win the election. And that isn't always the best candidate. I think they made the best choice for Europe.
JensImpulsive: approx 40% of the people voted in the last EU election, thats a strong base. using your principle almost every public servant is "democratically elected" which is BS. The question is simpleÖ did you get a chance to have your say in ANY WAY to whom should be "president of Europe"? No you did not, when you voted last time you did not know who they would support. and i did not give any mandate to the other 26 heads of state nor are they forced to listen to my vote
I rather live in a Federation with Democracy e.g. i can elect and also get rid of our "Leader(s)" if they make a bad call/decision that i dissapprove of.
At the moment i cant do anything at all except wishing that once again my voice/vote will mean something
Who are elected by their own people so they have a mandate to make this kind of decisions. Democracy does not mean you need to let the people vote for every decision you make, which would be quite unfair in the E.U. since a big country's candidate would most certainly win. Now the candidates are chosen based on their qualities.
Thank God it wasn't that idiot from holland who talks like a vending machine, looks like harry potter and messed up a referendum about the Lisbon treaty. THAT would have been S T U P I D !!!!!
barack hussein has contacted Chiraq when Sarkozy was already president. What I want to say is: no matter how much you would centralize the competence of representing the EU, barack hussein simply doesn't have the intelligence or the manners to call the right (wo)man.
@ Cocalighto It has nothing to do with Obama's intelgence...
Well it looks like the European elitle hand-selected a candidate and told Tony Blair their decision at the last second. Which is why he "withdrew from the EU bid". To make it seem more fair..
Hand-selected by an elite, simply because eurosceptics and countries like Brittain have always done all their efforts to block any democratization of the EU. They got what they want and shouldn't be whining right now.
The EU is gonna be a "fascist state"? Strange, since the EU clearly isn't a "state". It's a union of sovereign states and if the EU would ever go crazy, member-states would just get out. After all, the EU doesn't have a police or an army to defend it's existence.
Good comment but the EU does have an Army with more equipment than the British army.
Do you think we in Britain should join the Euro & Armed forces? Somali piracy is a threat to our food and energy supplies, the EU needs to crack some heads down there.
All the best
Infokemp
Check out my channel if you are interested in geo-economics security and politics.
I believe Brittain's future lies within the EU and I pity the fact that they hate it so much. The EU shouldn't become a "United States of Europe", but I do believe in further integration. If only the EU was more democratic and capable of introducing widespread interest and political envolvement.
Go back to Belgium, fascist idiot!

@Ghostdog0007 Someone who was elected by some elected people who were elected by other elected people who were elected by another elected people who were actually elected in national election IS NOT democratically elected. That person has been given a job to do, by people who were given a job by other people who were given a job by another people who ARE democratically elected. AND THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE my boy.

As if Obama is going to call a president who has not even had to campaign. And can you image Ashton standing next to Hillary? Europe has the positions - thanks to the Lisbon Treaty, but does it have the proper people?

Of course not: These people have not been elected hence they have no mandate to decide anything related to the people in the countries of europe.

@Falsare Actually they are democratically elected. They were elected by the people we gave a mandate. If the every European civilian would vote it would always be the largest country that would win the election. And that isn't always the best candidate. I think they made the best choice for Europe.

JensImpulsive: approx 40% of the people voted in the last EU election, thats a strong base. using your principle almost every public servant is "democratically elected" which is BS. The question is simpleÖ did you get a chance to have your say in ANY WAY to whom should be "president of Europe"? No you did not, when you voted last time you did not know who they would support. and i did not give any mandate to the other 26 heads of state nor are they forced to listen to my vote

@Falsare:
If people did vote for the president of the EU then it would not be called the European Union anymore but the European Federation.

I rather live in a Federation with Democracy e.g. i can elect and also get rid of our "Leader(s)" if they make a bad call/decision that i dissapprove of.
At the moment i cant do anything at all except wishing that once again my voice/vote will mean something

Who are elected by their own people so they have a mandate to make this kind of decisions. Democracy does not mean you need to let the people vote for every decision you make, which would be quite unfair in the E.U. since a big country's candidate would most certainly win. Now the candidates are chosen based on their qualities.

barack hussein has contacted Chiraq when Sarkozy was already president. What I want to say is: no matter how much you would centralize the competence of representing the EU, barack hussein simply doesn't have the intelligence or the manners to call the right (wo)man.

@ Cocalighto It has nothing to do with Obama's intelgence...
Well it looks like the European elitle hand-selected a candidate and told Tony Blair their decision at the last second. Which is why he "withdrew from the EU bid". To make it seem more fair..
The EU is gonna be a fascist state in 30 years.
dadecountyhustler305 2 years ago
Hand-selected by an elite, simply because eurosceptics and countries like Brittain have always done all their efforts to block any democratization of the EU. They got what they want and shouldn't be whining right now.
The EU is gonna be a "fascist state"? Strange, since the EU clearly isn't a "state". It's a union of sovereign states and if the EU would ever go crazy, member-states would just get out. After all, the EU doesn't have a police or an army to defend it's existence.

Good comment but the EU does have an Army with more equipment than the British army.
Do you think we in Britain should join the Euro & Armed forces? Somali piracy is a threat to our food and energy supplies, the EU needs to crack some heads down there.
All the best

I believe Brittain's future lies within the EU and I pity the fact that they hate it so much. The EU shouldn't become a "United States of Europe", but I do believe in further integration. If only the EU was more democratic and capable of introducing widespread interest and political envolvement.

No look for the USA to fall and have to withdraw from NATO. The EU will take over and Britian will be again at the reigns.
