It's the general attitude of past administrations (not only Republican's, but most) and the extreme right, always calling for "let's attack" that I call bullies.
I am also proud to be an American, but I don't wear blinders. We strive for perfection, but we are not perfect. I, also, make no apologies for saying... We can be better and do better to heal the alliances so damaged by the previous administration. We had become a joke, and a bad joke at that.
I, personally, am proud that we FINALLY have a President that can string two sentences together, and bring hope, not just to us, but to the world in general. President Obama fully understands that we are not ALONE in the world. And without new and stronger alliances, we will surely go the way of other "fallen empires" that also thought they were the only game in town.
And I'll thank you to not twist my words in the future.  |
This is not the kind of thread I usually post in because frankly I dont care how he bows to anyone...I just want him to be OUR President !
However, you always refer to what you refer to as the "extreme right" and usually follow that with an "extreme left" talking point. Just thought I would point that out to you.
Secondly, while I have reserved judgement on this president relative to foreigh affairs, I will tell you this....The President is the President of the USA, not the world...even though he thinks he is. His JOB is to protect this country, noone else....he should be proud and say he is proud. If you actually read about the past President and what he did, you will find that he did much to enforce our resolve to the world...did he maybe at times go too far...probably....does this President go to far the other way...yes.
I think you should brush up on what makes a president....it is not based on stringing two sentences together, although this president was basically elected on that premise.
As I said, I am pending judgement on foreign affairs with this president but had to respond as you sound like a soundbite from MOVEON !
