Just embarrassing and dumb
I can’t remember having seen something more embarrassing and dumb than this one:
One of the moments I’m happy that I’m not American.

Marcy Kaptur has expressed her strong opposition to the multibillion dollar bailout plan brought before congress. In her fiery speech [3] she criticized Secretary of Treasury Henry Paulson’s Plan for
- Forcing congress to rush the decision.
- Disarming the public through fear. Controlling the media enough to ensure that the public will not notice that this bailout will indebt them for generations taking from them trillions of dollars they earned and deserved to keep.
- Controlling the playing field (hiding info from the public, holding private hearings, and private teleconferencing calls).
- Diverting attention and keeping people confused.
- Having the goal to privatize gains and socialize losses.
She also blamed Wall Street executives for their greed and held them responsible for the crisis and said
You have perpetrated the greatest financial crimes ever on this American Republic. You think you can get by with it because you are extraordinarily wealthy, and the largest contributors to both presidential and congressional campaigns in both major parties.
She pleaded a “Wall Street Reckoning” and an alternate plan where by “America doesn’t need to bail you out. It needs to secure real assets and property. Federal regional reserve banks should have a new job to help renegotiate mortgages. American people should get equity in any companies. Major job creation to rebuild our infrastructure. Regulate, we need a modern Glass-Steagall act. Refinancing must return a major share of profits to a new social security and medicare lock box.”

Yes, America is the centre of the world. But why then do not even people living in the centre of the world know anything about the centre of the world. Or even beyond the centre?
My dear American friends, shame on you. Take any European, he would’ve answered all questions correctly, even if it were a 12 year old boy (from Germany for example):

I guess this is what Obama was talking about when he asked the audience:
Why do Americans basically only speak … English? When you come to Germany, Italy or the Netherlands, the people talk to you in your language. Everybody should learn different languages!
According to this I always find it more than funny when I communicate around the world and in 1 from 100 cases some native English speaking moron tells me “Err, you have a European accent”. Really? Asshole.
