But this country has always been built both through an individual initiative, but also a sense of some common purpose. And if there’s one message I want to deliver to young people like a Tumblr audience is, don’t get cynical. Guard against cynicism. I mean, the truth of the matter is that for all the challenges we face, all the problems that we have, if you had to be -- if you had to choose any moment to be born in human history, not knowing what your position was going to be, who you were going to be, you’d choose this time. The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it’s ever been. It is more educated than it’s ever been.
I guess the rest of the world didn't get those memos..
WTF? This country is being lead by the worst clueless POS in history.
There are far less wars, famines, plagues, and just all around bad behavior now around the world and here at home then there has been over the last few centuries. I'm not sure why this would be a provocative statement other than it was simply said by Obama and for someone people that's really the only problem.
Think Again: War
"...the last decade has seen fewer war deaths than any decade in the past 100 years, based on data compiled by researchers Bethany Lacina and Nils Petter Gleditsch of the Peace Research Institute Oslo."
I think Obama is just trolling conservatives. Every time he says something, anything, they go nuts posting their frothing rage that he exists far and wide. Even a relatively benign statement like this.
I really hope he makes a comment how breathing is good so conservatives will rage at it, and then boycott it.
At least then there will be some peace and quiet form the cranks.

Yeah it is annoying.How immature that our elected officials get so distracted by the President they cannot follow through with their job to bring up good ideas for the benefit of America.
And if he is trolling that is not much help either. He should be leading not trolling.

If Obama walked on water the headline would be "Obama can't swim".

Obama says obvious factually true statement, right wing goes nuts.
