#8  They've been "gloating" for 232 years, why should they stop now.

More cowbell please.

#7  Well said Ed. Americans serve their country well when called upon. I can't say that I think the current crop of Congress critters serve the people or the country well.

#6  I welcome some other nation funding the world's economy and security on their taxpayers backs. I welcome the day a US president gives first priority to American economic well being, American jobs, American security and American blood.

#5  The gloating is a little premature. We have had others gloat in the past. As they say here in the South; how did that work out for ya all? To quote Mark Twain, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" Same for the U.S.

Because the people of his country enjoy living in mud huts.

#2  They gloated well in the 70s too. That's all they have, 'gloat'. Nothing to fill the void that works. If we go down, so does the world. Gloat on that.

#1  ...Keep in mind that these idiots come out of the woodwork every time we have financial crises here, doing their usual chanting about how "now (COUNTRY'S NAME HERE) will take their rightful place as a world financial leader." And every time, their wishful thinking not only goes up in a puff of smoke, but they end up coming to us for help.
