Quote: Herman van Rompuy, the president of Europe, hasn’t enjoyed the kindest press. In Britain at least, the “richly comic” blustering Belgian, a garden gnome and dwarf straight out of Gilbert and Sullivan has been treated as a sort of joke created largely for the benefit of tabloid headline writers.
Mr. van Rompuy may never come to match, say, Vince Cable in the glamour stakes – but people who knew him in his previous job always warned that the “Mr. Nobody” gibes were misplaced. As Belgian prime minister, Mr. van Rompuy helped to bring together his notoriously divided country, and sharply reduced its budget deficit. Now, he has similar steely ambitions to unite and discipline Europe.
Last week, in Berlin, Mr. Van Rompuy proclaimed an EU leader’s strongest message of federalism yet. He said that after the financial crisis, “the national and the European interest can no longer be separated: they coincide… today, we have to act on [that] fact… in every [EU] member state, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world. It is more than an illusion – it is a lie.”End of Quote
There is something that those that choose to denigrate Herman Van Rompuy seemed to be forgetting about?
When he was appointed as the first ever full time president of the EU he took on the responsibility for not only one of the most powerful offices that has ever been held for the entire European continent, but for the entire globe.
But that fact certainly not by passed me in any sense of the word.
It also needs to be remembered that Van Rompuy also holds the post that most of us that are Born Again Christians consider to be the seat of power for the Antichrist.
Also, that in accepting the position as the first ever full time president of the EU he took on the power of Hell and Hades itself.
Basically, Herman Van Rompuy has the power to turn the entire globe into the biggest powder keg imaginable through his control of the entire army of the EU.
That being the case, when he chooses to do so he will unleash this awesome power that he holds right in the palms of his hand onto the peoples of the world to ignite the globe to turn it into the smoldering ash that it is destined to become.
The aforementioned comical comments may be atypical of the pomes, but the fact still remains for those that have made those comments there still needs to be some consideration for the man in question and the very high office that he holds.
When there are those that have chosen to make remarks such as the ones that are mentioned above relative to Van Rompuy, those said same people need to be reminded what the relatives of the victims of the Green River Serial Killer Gary Ridgeway had said after his arrest. They had said that he could not have been the guy who had killed all of those women simply because he did not look like a killer, even though he had been responsible for the murder of well over 60 prostitutes.
There seem to be a great deal of people that are mistakenly judging Van Rompuy entirely by his looks by saying that he is not the Antichrist, simply because he does not look the part.
Don't be fooled by looks alone -- as looks can be incredibly deceiving.
