Why in the hell would Obama say this? What the hell does he hope to get out that comment?

Liberals..please explain to us why giving a speech on foreign soil, trashing the very people he is supposedly representing. Why?
He's right at least in this regard:

Quote:
“The United States is and can be a great force for good in the world. But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world,” he said. “If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people.
[not a Liberal but I can totally see this]

Must be nice to be able to travel the world with a poor mother, learning about other countries. Yet, the President knows nothing about the rancher, the farmer, the poor whites, the lower middle class or middle class American.


My husband had an Aunt who spent 8 yrs in the Philippines (1950) translating the Bible into their language. Teaching the women varies tasks, along with caring for the children and building homes.


Yet the President wants to claim Americans are not helpful in other countries. He is such an arrogant elitist.

Quite a bit, generally a lot more than Americans know about them. This is the inevitable result of American military, economic and cultural dominance.

So why does Obummer have to continually trash us to the rest of the world? I remember as far back as 2009 when he went to Germany and called ALL Americas as arrogant.

Can you provide a specific example of where you think Obama trashed Americans in his Laos speech?

alt-right hatred is strong in this thread.

I can't imagine what they'll be like after November 8th.
