Kilmeade on Sandy voters: America is 'the shallowest country in the history of man'

Fox News co-host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday complained that the United States was the "shallowest country in the history of man" because exit polls showed that people considered Hurricane Sandy an important factor in the presidential race.

On the morning after President Barack Obama won re-election, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy noted that Hurricane Sandy had been the "October surprise," with 42 percent of people saying that the storm response was an important issue and 15 percent saying it was the most important issue.

"I can't believe those numbers," co-host Gretchen Carlson said, throwing up her arms.

"Then we are the shallowest country in the history of man," Kilmeade concluded. "One photo op [of President Obama] walking over a two-by-four and all the sudden he's handling a storm, which by the way, hasn't been handled well!"
