I never realized admitting might not be the best was grounds for expulsion.
Actually looking at the video, Geitner's statements are more about the rest of the nations of the world can't rely on America for growth in the global economy, and that they have to start accomplishing growth themselves. They talk about Europe in this regard in the video. An interesting tidbit is that both the reporter and Geitner acknowledge that Europe and the United States have different views on how to accomplish this growth, and judging from the reporter's handling of the topic, it appears that Germany and other European nations are critical of the differences.
On the whole, there's really not a lot of un-Americanism, and if anything it sounds like Geitner is telling the rest of the world to start picking up the slack.
Biden's statements, nothing un-American really there except a warning we probably won't get all the jobs back. I think it's a bit of a crock, but Biden looks like he's being cynical even though, as the article notes, the economy has recovered, and claims for jobless benefits have fallen.
