Please tell me why we are better than other nations? Is it good policy to go around telling everyone that you are better than them? Do you think that builds good relationships?
I think the differences between republicans and democrats are very philosophical. The democrats are disappointed with this country, and they have plans to change it(for the better?). The republicans are disappointed with this country, because it has changed.
I am disappointed with this country because I feel like it is no longer a beacon of light in the world. We are a bad example for how a country should be. Look at all the hatred within this country, politically and socially. Racism. Our ever-expanding military presence all over the world. The corruption and greed within our markets. We caused this worldwide recession. We pollute like crazy, we use massive amounts of oil and drive up the cost for everyone.
I mean, if you were someone from another country, would you like
us?
Drink a lot of blue koolaid don't ya? If you're so disappointed comrade, I'm sure there are a couple of those socialist leaders attending the G-20 summit who can let you ride along with them back to their socialist countries where you'd probably make a great fit with your America hating attitude.
When you attack our allies and your own nation, that is more than just wrong, it is criminal.
Being praised by Qadaffi means something's seriously wrong? WHAT do you call it when a POTUS embraces the SOB and lets him BUY his way from the guilt of mass murderer? THAT's SERIOUSLY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The depth of your hypocrisy is difficult to comprehend.
Obama DOES hate America for what it was built on. He has another vision for it that a lot don't want. Count yourself into the minority...
could you provide the link, video or actual statement made by the President, I must have missed it.
While your looking for your video, i'll look for the video where Bush admited to completely disregarding the safety of our American men and women by sending them over to Iraq to take out Sadaam as revenge for Bush Sr.

Please find that link - I am interested to hear him say that was the ONLY reason we went into Iraq.
I like what Obama said - from what I heard - he is way ahead of his time and I hope is message stays and portends for the future - in that the UN and members need to act more responsibly in deed and action to make a just world function with a singular moral compass respecting rights and responsibilities.
He assumes that the rest of the members are just, moral, and believe in a democratic system where the rights and wishes of the populace are represented. This world does exist - not in Africa, the middle east, theocracies, large swathes of Asia and south America - Europe is on board and North America is on board as well.
I like his vision for the world ***and this does not mean that the USA is subservient but that all nations act reasonably and responsibly for peace and prosperity for all. But the reality is that the world is not ready for living his message.

I guess you didn't get the sarcasm. There is no Video or Link because he NEVER said it.
Obama's UN speech was nothing short of disgusting. He demeaned America, and said we were no better than any other nation of the world.
This is not a man who loves his country. For this reason alone, he should not be president. He is an enemy of America, and should be treated as such. He should be impeached. Immediately.
Obama loves the dictators of the world. They are his friends.
He hates Israel. He has seriously undermined our relationships with our allies, and has weakened our defenses. This is purposeful. Either that, or the man is really stupid, which I do not believe.
We must seriously consider where we go from here. We cannot have this man in power until 2012. [MOD CUT]
Oh please, do try and live up to your username....
Well, kiddies, I have news for those of you who think the US is better than everyone else. Is the US great in many ways ? Yes, it is. Does it hold the Beacon of all things perfect ? No it does not. Being proud is one thing, but it's hubris to act like you are "king of the earthball." The rest of the world will delight in knocking your crown off. A little humility goes a long way !
The US does not engage in foreign affairs out of hubris or because we think we are better than every other country.

Obama was right..."We" aren't any better than any other nation of the world.
