‘REMEMBER WHO MAGICALLY APPEARS TO SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS’: CAVUTO RIPS EC PRESIDENT FOR SAYING U.S. BANKS CREATED EUROPE’S MESS
Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto closed his 4.pm. show Tuesday with possibly the most epic cable news rant of the year, torching European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso for daring to blame the European economic crisis on North America.“For god’s sake wake up and sniff your obviously spiked cappuccino,” Cavuto exclaimed while commenting in frustration on Barroso’s remarks during the G20 summit in Mexico Tuesday. “U.S. banks did not create your mess, you did. U.S. banks did not grant cradle-to-the-grave government protections that were unsustainable decades ago let alone today, you did. U.S. banks did not make austerity a foreign concept in Europe, you did. And U.S. banks didn’t force public workers to retire at age 52 or refuse to ask them to contribute so much as a single euro to their healthcare benefits, or their prescription drug benefits, or their ridiculously–unaffordable spousal and kid benefits, you did.
“You created the safety net and now you’re throwing us under the net? I don’t think so Peppe. We are many things in this country, but even our most gullible institutions aren’t half that stupid.”
Cavuto exploded after hearing Barroso’s remarks during a news conference on the first day of the G20 summit in Mexico Tuesday. When asked by a reporter why funds from North American governments should be used to help Europe, the Portuguese politician and European Commission President answered that there needs to be cooperation among the world’s governments, but noted that ”this crisis was not originated in Europe.”
“Since you mention North America, this crisis was originated in North America and many of our financial sector was contaminated by, how can I put it, unorthodox practices, from some sectors of the financial market,” Barroso said.
Cavuto would not have such remarks from “pathetic finger-pointing socialists.” Watch Cavuto’s epic rant on Fox News Tuesday:
