He's promised we're no longer going to be a superpower. We're no better, we're no bigger, we're no different than any other nation, and he's going to see to it that this happens. The biggest applause line was when he said that the Israeli settlements are illegitimate. He challenged the legitimacy of them and the place erupted. And now Khadafy has been rambling on, it's hilarious, Khadafy's been rambling on here for over an hour. People are walking out. I mean it is a general freak show, look at it. It is a genuine freak show. It's the Star Wars bar scene, except that it's real and it's at the United Nations.


Obama Serves Up America on Silver Platter to UN Freak Show

I totally agree...It was a sad day for America!

We started to stop being a superpower in the 80's when we decided that exploding deficits don't matter.

A deaf chickenhawk (from drug abuse) pig man sitting in an ivory tower collecting $400M salary from right wing Corporate Fascists to spew hate and lies is calling a meeting at the UN a freak show?

Another morning. Another Bentlebee Obama topic. Such obssession is really unhealthy.
In fact, are there any other controversies to discuss other than Obama every SINGLE HOUR.

Where did he "serve up America"? All I saw in the speech was him telling the rest of the world to do something for themselves instead of just sitting around and bashing America. The U.S. as a superpower is a layover from the Cold War, and considering the whole "damned if you do, damned if you don't" attitude from the rest of the world in recent years, I don't really mind telling them to start taking action for a change.

By the way, in terms of a "new world order" we were talking about it in political science classes 6 years ago. I'm not sure exactly where Obama said it in the speech, but the idea was around before last November.

No wonder the bleeding-heart NeoConfused are up in arms, how DARE a POTUS suggest other countries do for themselves when there's nation-building to be done?
