Good ol 'Faux News' scaremonging again 
Two words for you "Foriegn policy" |
Did you listen to what he actually said on the point? He said that the specific opinion difference in Italy is partially that the country has a substantial electorate that is well left of the US, so any "left" will be more popular than right.
More importantly, I think he's spot on when discussing the national interest of Italy (and Europe) WRT the US in terms of capital flight. The bottom line is is it in the European interest to have a strong US that doesn't "look like" Europe. The answer is "no, it's not in their interest."
The rest falls out of that. I want the kind of US that I want, and if that is "bad" for the rest of the world... I don't really care. When it's in my personal interest to care, I will.
