And he can shove his opinion up his ass because of it.
He doesn't.
Only in Louisiana.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

What exactly does the US system of government have to do with internal German politics?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Schröder is using it for some popularity show-off. I wonder why you get so upset, he's gone in a few days anyway.
He'll probably wants to make the US pissed at Germany to create worse starting grounds for talks between Merkel and GWB. Or he just lets his ego out one last time.
Well if you are insulted/affronted he may have achieved exactly what he wantedAnd he can shove his opinion up his ass because of it.
So?Only in Louisiana.Comment

What is wrong with what he said? The Anglo-Saxon kind of capitalism is precisely what is happening in Germany, as it replaces the German kind of capitalism. Many people on the left oppose such a system exactly the same.
Unless you believe that managerial capitalism is somehow universal (instead of being something heavily influenced by Anglo-Saxon economic systems), there is nothing wrong with Schröder lashing out at a system he despises, that should now have open gates in Germany."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

it has absolutely nothing to do with a hands-off government and liberal policies.
Yup, nothing at all about hands-off policies here. Move along.
Besides, you'll notice he wasn't talking about federal vs local or anything. He was talking about hands-off policies, no matter who holds them. And he is right."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

It's a diplomatic faux pas. Schroeder knows he's demeaning his office of Chancellor by saying such things, but he does it anyway. He was a bad Chancellor and he's going out on a low note.Schröder is using it for some popularity show-off.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

The problem with Katrina is that the policies that were in place (and they were a hell of a lot more detailed than Take your car and leave or you are ****ed) were not followed in any real sense by any lvl of government at least wrt LA where the worst problems were encountered.Originally posted by Spiffor

The rotting corpse is stinking up the place...
Schröder retires but hangs on to the end
By Bertrand Benoit in Berlin

Gerhard Schröder, ousted German chancellor, continues to make life difficult for his successor. In his latest snub to Angela Merkel, he has decided to attend the European Union summit at Hampton Court, London on October 27.
By representing Germany a mere three weeks before he is due to step down, Mr Schröder is proving less of a gentleman than Helmut Kohl, his predecessor.
In 1998, Mr Kohl bowed out of an EU summit after being defeated in elections a month earlier. That allowed Mr Schröder to join European leaders as a guest two days before being sworn in. Mr Schröder showed no intention a similar gesture, despite announcing on Wednesday his retirement from politics after three weeks of refusing to concede defeat. “The chancellor intends to fulfil the duty of his office,” a spokesman told the FT. “Only he can represent Germany.”
A spokesman for Ms Merkel said she would not seek to impose herself as a “guest of honour” at Hampton Court. “She will be in the thick of the coalition negotiations,” he said.
Still, Mr Schröder's lèse-majesté slows Ms Merkel's entrance onto the EU scene and hinders the UK's efforts to steer the bloc during its six-month presidency. Gordon Brown, chancellor of the exchequer, writes in Thursday’s FT that Hampton Court is a “make-or-break summit” for Europe on economic and social reform.
The UK convened the informal gathering partly in an attempt to clear the air following the acrimonious June summit in Brussels. There, Mr Schröder and Jacques Chirac, the French president, clashed with Tony Blair, UK prime minister, over the EU budget. London hoped the election would bring a change of government in Berlin. Now it fears Mr Schröder could be plotting an explosive farewell by again teaming up with Mr Chirac.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
