Yet again, President Obama has gone overseas and told foreigners of his disappointment regarding America. Yes, we just keep letting him down. I remember back when Bill Clinton was running in 1992, one of the attacks against him was that, while a Rhodes Scholar in England, he participated in an anti-American protest. Heck, even during George W. Bush's presidency, the Dixie Chicks triggered a backlash for dissing the president while on tour in London. It used to be bad form to attack your country on foreign soil. Well, now the president does it.
Though the article provides 18 particular points that the president made, it can be condensed to the following: Americans are a stingy, cold-hearted, racist, lazy, discriminatory, environment-destroying, racist, murderous, thoughtless people who are failing to stay true to our founding ideals. This is far from the first time Obama has criticized his country overseas. He opened his presidency with the infamous Apology Tour. Really, what kind of president goes to Cuba and says we can learn from the Castros?
These repeated jabs at his country, the country that elected him as president, demonstrate that he is not a fan of his country. That is tragic. Though I am no fan of George W Bush, at least he loves America, warts and all. America deserves to be loved, especially by the person elected to lead it.
