President Obama calls the United States & Europe ‘developing countries’ in latest embarrassing gaffe
Sunday Telegraph ^ | 7/28/13 | Niel Gardiner

You can imagine the derision that would have flowed from the liberal “mainstream media” if George W. Bush had referred to the United States as well as its European allies as “developing countries.” [Snip] And one of the interesting things that we don’t talk about enough is the contrast between what’s happened in the United States and what’s happened in a lot of other developing countries, Europe in particular. It´s pretty rare where we have the chance to look at two policy approaches and follow them over several years and see which one worked. And the fact is

I don’t know about Europe, but the US is a devolving country.

The fool probably doesn’t even know what a “developing country” is and was just using whatever term came into his tiny mind. How are we going to survive this evil fool for 3 more years?

He’s right. Europe is developing into a Democracy and America is developing into a Communist Dictatorship.

This was obviously the telepromters’ fault. Cut the man some slack. He is obviously too smart for the job.

I’d normally forgive the slip between “developing” and “developed,” but Gardiner is correct . . . if Bush had done it Hollywood would be writing the script by now.

HEY !!! Barry !!!

When my ancestors arrived here from Holland in 1623 the United States was aready a “developing country”

and the Holland they left back in Europe had one of the most successful economic and business systems in the world...

Meanwhile since 700 AD Moslem countries have yet to start to develop...

Why is that I wonder ???

Yes, there is no doubt he is an ass. He is shallow as a piece of paper but he is as sly as a serpent and pure evil.

The United States is of course not developing. It is in terminal decline.

Add Africa to the question of why are they stuck in reverse. When I was working there and the natives would proclaim that they were disadvantaged and discriminated against I would ask them: They say Africa is the place where man began is that right? They would answer, Oh yes, of course, Africa is the proven cradle of civilization and every man in the world traces his genes to Africa. I would then ask, Since you have had more time to develop and improve why is it that Africa is so far behind ALL the rest of the world? Failure is in their genes.

In the Caribean whereever the Europeans started a colony they flourished..

When the African slaves rioted and took over the islands among them Haiti from the French, the colonies almst died as a successful economic venture...

The Odumbo administration has surely seen to that, and I am sure this decline in America, is deliberate, and not at all an accident.

Oh yes it’s intentional. Obama et al couldn’t have done a better job in that direction if they’d tried, and they have. They have three more years to get on with it, and Obama’s so arrogant, he’s boasting of his arrogance.
