 President of the European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The President of the European Commission is notionally the highest ranking unelected official within the European Union.
The President of the Commission is selected by consensus among members of the European Council and must subsequently be approved by the European Parliament, along with the remainder of the Commission.
As the head of the European Commission, effectively the executive branch of the European Union, it is sometimes argued that it would be appropriate for the President to be elected by the European Parliament, or directly elected by citizens, rather than being chosen by national governments.

Insiders of the CFR and their European counterparts in the Trilateral Commission have never made a secret of the fact that their objective is global hegemony, or a one-world government that logically demands an end to the sovereignty of nations.

 Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911, Dave Kopel, Independence Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Thus, on election night 1980, when incumbent President Jimmy Carter gave a concession speech while polls were still open on the west coast, the early concession was blamed for costing the Democrats several Congressional seats in the West, such as that of 20-year incumbent James Corman.
The president is also captured in a well-worn TV news clip, on a golf course, making a boilerplate response to a question on terrorism and then asking the reporters to watch his drive.
Also, since the President knew he was on camera, it was reasonable to expect that if he had suddenly sped out of the room, his hasty movement would have been replayed incessantly on television; leaving the room quickly might have exacerbated the national mood of panic, even if Bush had excused himself calmly.

 Quotes about American Merchant Marine from Presidents, Military and National Leaders
There is nothing more justly humiliating to the national pride and nothing more hurtful to the national prosperity than the inferiority of our merchant marine compared with that of other nations whose general resources, wealth and seacoast lines do not suggest any reason for their supremacy upon the sea.
Gallagher said the President, in a letter saluting the club's silver jubilee convention and the eighteenth annual Merchant Marine Conference, asserted that all segments of maritime labor and management could well be proud of the accomplishments of the nation's merchant fleet, both in its defense and normal pursuits.
President Truman declared that the American Merchant Marine has played an important role in the maintenance of the American way of life and also in bulwarking the anti-Communist defenses of freedom-loving nations everywhere.
