‘America In Decline’: Mitt Romney Gets Grim Warning From Australian Leader

Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr Warns Mitt Romney the World Sees America as In Decline

(Photo: AP)

The Australian foreign minister has privately warned Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that foreign leaders see “America in decline.”

That’s according to Romney, who says he met with Foreign Minister Bob Carr in a San Francisco hotel Sunday evening shortly before a Republican fundraiser.

Romney says Carr suggested that America could improve that international perception “with one budget deal” that helps balance the budget.

A Romney spokesman says the foreign minister requested the private meeting.

The news likely comes as quite an embarrassment for supporters of President Obama.  Not only has the president apparently managed an America “in decline,” but one of his campaign platforms was restoring America’s image to the rest of the world after eight years of George W. Bush.

In fact, on January 19th he said his administration had already accomplished the goal.

“What we were also able to do, I think, is to restore a sense of America as the sole, indispensable power,” the president said, “a country that, whether it’s responding to an earthquake or a tsunami, or it’s dealing with a dictator that is about to ruthlessly butcher his people, we aren’t out there alone.”

Mitt Romney is scheduled to launch his first trip abroad as his party’s presumptive presidential nominee later this week. He’s set to meet with leaders in England, Israel and Poland, who may have similar words of advice.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Every Mormon I have known was honest, responsible and a good person. At last thought I don’t believe a single Mormon has hijacked a plane, blown up an embassy and kill people because they have a different faith. The only bad Mormon I have ever known is Harry Mason Reid.

      I have had them as neighbors and despite differences in theology, they are honest folks at the most basic. Romney is the best chance we have for the future of this nation, for under Obama the final death knell and reduction of the nation, as he plans, will occur.

      As a BAC, I do not agree with the Mormon tenets. That’s okay. That said, socially and politically, we are on the same page. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Mormons. Their rights are just as great as mine. We are not just in “Decline”, we’re in free fall. No parachute, no net. I can‘t believe there are any people out there who don’t see it. Bogles my mind! Fuel prices up, food crops dead and dying, AROUND THE GLOBE! Food prices up. Yet, employment is down, and keeps going down. Food Stamps are supposed to fix this? Apparently, my brain tumor is malfunctioning. I don’t buy that crap. I still see down is down, and up is up!

      Mitt Romney is a Great man and he will bring back respect and honor to the office of President of the United States. I grew up Baptist and attended many other churches in my youth with friends. It was not until I was in my adulthood that I met my wife, who introduced me to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (The Mormons). I was so impressed with what I saw and felt from the members of this church that I converted. Later that year I married my now wife and we began our family. This changed my life for the better and I have never been happier. Those who attack this religion have no idea what they are talking about. People get caught up in Hate and Misinformation. Learn for yourself what the church teaches at Mormon.org. Have a great day and May GOD Bless America!

      Some interesting facts about Mitt Romney.

      After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.

      As a venture-capitalist, Romney’s first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies.That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.

      Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the “Bain Way”) would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino’s, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

      Got your calculators handy? Let’s recap.

      Volunteer campaign worker for his dad’s gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

      Unpaid intern in Governor’s office 8 years.

      Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years.

      Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church 10 years.

      Took no salary as president of the Salt Lake Olympics 3 years.

      No salary as MA governor 4 years.

      Gave his ENTIRE INHERITANCE to charity.

      That’s a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that’s the kind of man Mitt Romney is.

      And he’ll show you his:

      1) Un-doctored Birth Certificate!

      2) College transcripts!

      3) Law degree!

      4) Un-doctored Draft notice!

      5) And un-doctored Social

But I blame the Democrats the most, they have NOTHING but TAX and SPEND, to create the entitlement society, because they want their VOTE!!! I blame the Republicans because they were asleep at the wheel and have almost given up on fiscal responsibility and small govt. But you know who I blame the MOST – Americans!!! We keep voting in career politicians who think they are gods! The definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result! Pray hard we don’t crash, because this next Depression will not be like the last! There are too many idiots out there on crack, and no sense of the worth of human life! I think it is inevitable, one cannot pay debt with debt for long without a default, but since we can print $$, then me thinks it will be inflation, we will hyper-inflate to make the $ worth less, so the debt will be manageable! problem is, the shape we are in now, it will lead to STAGFLATION! The worst thing that could happen, think of what happened to the Romans, Germans, etc…bad stuff my friends. I sure hope I am wrong, and I hope you are prepared!

      Comrade BOT! Now just stand Mr. Rmneys enviable record up against the impecable record of Dear Leader!
      He may, or may not, have attended Columbia and Harvard. No transcripts are available!
      He has furnished definitive proof of his birth, only slightly photoshopped to protect the innocent.
      He knows first hand the benefit of attending a Madrassa school!
      He was probably the editor of the Harvard Law Review, although his writtings and friends are untraceable.
      He has been a fine upstanding Community Organizer and has never, ever, had to dirty his hands with any actual work! (Only lower class individuals must dirty their hands)
      He was personally tutored by some of the finest minds in the communist world!
      His mother was a rich communist (only a slight contridiction in terms).
      His father was a communist.
      His grandfather was a communist!
      He is a devoted church going follower of Reverend Wright, another communist!
      He began his political career in Bill Ayres living room, another communist.
      His adult mentor was Bill Ayres father, another communist.

      And, this is only a partial list of the wonderful things that Dear Leader is and what had made him the wonderful, dear, man that he is!
      Oh yes, please don’t forget that so far Dear Leader has overseen the destruction, on average, of 40% of all American citizens wealth in his mad dash to reduce America to a poor third world country!
      Isn’t Dear Leader wonderful?

      America is in decline and we MUST balance the budget but the only candidate who ever had a real plan to do that was Ron Paul…but…… we were all too busy letting Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck do our thinking for us to ever consider voting for him. Instead we’ve now selected Romney, who is more fiscally liberal (and just as socially liberal a few years ago) as BILL CLINTON.

      His budget plan spends almost as much money as Obama‘s and he’s being supported by some of the very same banks that also back Obama. Ultimately, we are going to get what we deserve.

      America is great because America was good. When America ceases to be good then America will cease to be great. We are at that point. We are no longer good, and no longer great.

      Why do I say that?

      We can’t govern or rule ourselves unless politics is involved: John Roberts politically correct decision on Obama care.

      I heard a prosecutor say on this latest shooting that it will take years to prosecute Holmes. I say let him be tried by those in the theatre and his sentence carried out by month’s end. It’s not going to happen because of greed (lawyers and politics) and another chance to rid the country of those evil guns.

      Just like you sheep have been conditioned to love 2.50 gas, you have been conditioned to support progressive liberals who are in the GOP like McCain and Romney.

      Here are some other facts about Romney.

      His budget doesnt cut one cent off Obama’s current spending levels. What does that mean? It means we keep running up the debt with promises of cuts in future increases. That means we still go bankrupt.

      Romney supports gun control laws, the Patriot Act and NDAA. What does that mean? It means Romney has little regard for the Constitution.

      Romney keeps us in one of the most anti Israel organizations in the world (the UN) all while keeping us the global police force. With Romney we will be bombing Syria and Iran.

      Romney has been pro choice almost all his life. If you look at statements he made on meet the press and during earlier debates you can clearly see he is pro choice. Roe v Wade will have zero influence on him while he picks a SCJ.

      He created Romneycare. He said he was glad Obama was using his plan in 2009. What changed?

      He has been funded by many of the same big banks that fund Romney. He has basically been endorsed by Soros.

      He has said he will not focus attention on the FED, and has stated for years(up until recently) that Bernanke is doing a fine job. Has Bernanke been doing something different or has Romney needed to try to look more conservative?

      Please tell me where Romney and Obama are different on nation changing issues.

And why Obama began his campaign in Germany and ending it in a fake Greece? And why Americans fell for this Trojan horse?

      NZKIWI is right. Americans have a difficult time understanding that the civilized world relies on America to be strong and fiscally sound. Carr is not the only foreign dignitary expressing concern over America’s fiscal policies since Obama took office. I’ve heard “what the hell is wrong with the Americans” a lot in the last three and a half years.
      Furthermore..Carr is part of Julia Gillard’s administration in Australia. Gillard is even further to the left than Obama. What does that tell you?
      Carr asked for the meeting with Romney. Romney is being seen as America‘s last chance to get clear of Obama’s destructive policies. Obama doesn’t care about this country. He only cares about his re-election and his social engineering. He’s leaving the mess to his successor to deal with. Look at Obamacare for instance. It doesn‘t kick in until 2014 and already it’s nearly tripled in cost to $2.6 trillion. Obama doesn’t give a d@mn. The world is starting to understand what conservatives here already understood..that Obama‘s a rank amateur who’s in waaaay above his pay grade.

    Allthough GW Bush, a progressive, did much to “tarnish” the reputation of America around the world; the real reason our reputation was so tarnished is the Democrat’s demonizing him and every decision he ever made in front of the whole world. They were so sure they could gain political advantage this way. Traitors.

This situation is not peculiar to this country. It is worldwide and involves every facet of modern society. The whole world has been victimized by a supernaturally designed moral collapse.

Americans are not valuable, but the resources are. Coal, oil, yellowcake. bauxite, and maybe more valuable than all the rest…water…clean fresh water.
    The United States of America is rich in stuff and poor in moral character and courage. This is the telling point in my mind. We are not strong enough to properly defend ourselves. We are divided against ourselves, and too corrupt to see the problem. Our leaders know about the coming loss of sovereignty, and are too cowardly to say anything…may they all rest in peace.

      @ Ashestoashes and Max Jones; what you need to ‘hammer home is that Obama and Romney are two sides of the same coin. We can argue semantics on who the players are at the top: Hardline communists or bankers. But historically regime change has actually always been totalitarian despots who seek total control. Bankers are usually forced to fund military adventurism with the hopes of a financial return, or at the very least sparing their lives. Sovereignty is lost once weapons are surrendered by the citizenry. Australia and the rest of the UK are already disarmed. The Aussies answer to Beijing and the Europeans to Moscow. Americas 2nd amendment is all that stands in the way of a global communist oligarchy. Bezerk joker clown killers serve to aid the thugs arguments, concerning guns rights.

I had heard about the banks from Dick Morris. THE Rothshild’s started the war of 1812 to get their band here and I understand that they planned our civil war and funded both sides..I also understand that they control more than half of the world’s wealth. I realize that we must keep our 2nd amendment rights..but people need to know who’s behind all of this..

Union free, minimum wage, full time, realistic benefits, no taxes of any kind for 5 years, other than safety there will be no interference or regulations imposed for 5 years minimum.

    Most of you are smarter than I am and have a good grasp on things, so let me ask:

    Is it already over and we’re just waiting for the final shoe to drop? Is there realisticly any hope in turning things around and saving ourselves from this financial meltdown? Does it matter at this point “who” is in office…or will both sides strip away our freedoms as the end nears, and it is just a matter of timing? Are both sides planning nothing more than doing their best to cushion the fall, rather than stop and reverse it?

    Lately, I’m of the opinion that nobody can stop what is coming. The numbers just do not add up. The majority of Americans just lack the qualities needed to stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves, as I –and most of you– have done our whole lives.

When Soros makes the statement that he doesn’t care if its obama or romney then you know that we are the pawns in this game. The question then becomes not where are we going but how long will it take us to get there.

    The Aussies have always been a great ally and friend to the US. So when your friend tells you you are messed up, you had better take notice and change

      Depends on how you treat your friends. I thought we had already tried that with Netanyahu. Romney wasn’t there.

      What can be said for a world, or a nation that foams at the mouth at the very suggestion that a president might bring Jesus Christ into the White House…but stands by, approvingly, as Karl Marx and Mao Tse-tung are welcomed? If Christ were to come into this world now, instead of 2000 years ago, it would kill him just as surely.
      In over 60 years, I have never seen the world, or this country become “better”. They become better, they become worse…but ultimately…they always becomes worse. This world will continue to slide into violent chaos. My “hope” is for the good people of this world.
      Mitt Romney, appears, at least, to be a good man…and a good man is obliged to do what he can.

    The fact that we elected this moron is proof enough that we are in decline.

      This would be news to the Obamabots .. but not to worry the MSM will make certain they never hear of it … link this page to social media .. and try to get the truth out to those who MIGHT be still capable of rational thought.

      OMG 2012 LIBERTY!

    Again no surprise to me. Don’t think Romney has the answer either, but I know BO doesn’t so I hope my thinking is wrong since I plan on voting Romney. :)

      At least people voting for Romney know he is not a savior. That is healthy. The people supporting Obama are obviously lunatics.
