We have a rock star president who for the first time in American history fired the President of a private corporation, General Motors, then immediately flew to Europe with an entourage of 500 courtiers and a worshipful media, bowed waist-deep to the King of Saudi Arabia, and proceeded to accuse his own country of arrogance.
In Paris, of all places.
Does anybody else think this guy is shockingly ignorant? I wonder if he has every really talked to a concentration camp survivor, or a Cuban refugee, or a boat person from Vietnam? Or a Soviet dissident. Or a survivor or Mao's purges.
Not to mention families with fallen American soldiers in the graveyards. Yes, he's going to Normandie, but will he apologize for our arrogance there, too? Does he really understand anything beyond the PC history of the world? Or will he just lie in his photo op at the American Cemetery at Normandie?
Ahhh, those arrogant Americans. First they rebel against King George III and all the crowned heads of Europe. Then they welcome tens of millions of poor and persecuted people from the Old World. Then they fail to bow down to Europe's greatest figures -- from Napoleon and Otto von Bismarck to the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin. Then they fight a civil war, losing half a million people to liberate black people in America. Then they diss the man the BBC considers to be the greatest philosopher ever, one Karl Marx

Power abhors a vacuum...
Something is going to fill it - and it won’t be the USA.
arrogant, derisive, dismissive
obama is ignorant of America’s great history, and deeply disturbed. obama describes himself with the words arrogant, derisive, and dismissive. He should be on a psychiatrist’s couch instead of at a podium.
Every time Iraqis vote, or voice their opinions, or live without tyranny they must curse the arrogant Americans (not).
I still think that sums up why many otherwise sensible people voted for Bambi. He's not even an American black man, and has nothing in common with the background of American blacks. But that is how he was packaged and sold to the American people, and, well intentioned fools that many of us are, we bought it. Too many of us did, at any rate, and as James Lewis says, it was probably our worst mistake ever.
Probably someone who survived falling out of a guard tower.
DO YOU REALLY?
Add to that list a farmer from the former Rhodesia and current victim of the Socialist, Robert Mugabe.
Absolutely!
Amen!
Otto von Bismarck, the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin and Obama!
Thank you for this picture- as they say, it is worth a thousand words.
I have never posted a picture on FR, I would have posted this and right underneath it the Iraqi woman holding up the finger covered in blue ink.
There is no way to “picture” the Marshall plan and the billions of dollars we spent on these ungrateful louts. Not to mention the incredible amounts spent in our defense of them that allowed them to free up thier resources for their socialism.
Unbelievable. Yes, FUBO.
“Does anybody else think this guy is shockingly ignorant?”
I think this will become the new meme. Obamachev says so many things that are so and clash with reality and experience. I bet you’ll hearing people wondering what planet the dalibama is on more and more.
