    FTA: Fortunately, most Americans do not agree with Obama's perception of his own country. As Scott Rasmussen points out in his latest Rasmussen Reports poll, most American voters -- 54% -- say "it would be better for the world if Europe became more like the United States." Only 22% had the opposite view.

    There are two real problems I have with Obama's comments. The first is that they are simply cheap political theater. A sitting president of the United States should not be taking shots at his predecessor, especially on foreign soil. Making yourself look good by making America look bad is not an action becoming a president of the United States. It is pathetic.

      The title of this story is key to why cons are obsessed with guns and bombs. Cons get some kind of sick sexual charge out of antagonizing and provoking others for no particular reason other than that they have empty, joyless lives. As a result right wingers are always living in fear that karma will strike them down.

          Meso, you don't live in a major city do you? I live in Milwaukee. A city where for the last 8 years, we had protest after protest against President Bush for just about everything you can imagine. The Aids protesters come out of the wood work when Bush announced the funding plan for Africa. It was the biggest any American president had offered. They protested him because it wasn't enough. The city council held vote after vote attacking the war in Iraq and Afghanistan but didn't once vote addressing the Islamic terrorists or the front groups supporting them. BTW, none of the votes had any binding power. That's right, the spent money printing ballots for a general election that had no power but were a feel good lefty move. So when it comes to provoking or attacking, the left in my community has been the catalyst, not the conservatives. And we do have joyful lives. We drink all day and shoot all night.....

          As for Karma, you may want to warn President Obama. If you look at how he got into office or who he hangs out with, if there is such a thing as Karma, he's in for a huge fall.

            --You're talking about karma relative to how *Obama* got into office?! You're off your meds, bb.

              "The Aids protesters come out of the wood work when Bush announced the funding plan for Africa. It was the biggest any American president had offered. "

              Yes. Because along with giving money for AIDS medicine (which was perhaps one of Bush's only redeeming acts and should have been praised) he hand in hand demanded that ALL AIDS funding come along with the requirement that the only protective measure being taught should be "Abstinence only." So you have to ask yourself how many new cases of AIDS Bush caused with that little twist of the knife.

              "The city council held vote after vote attacking the war in Iraq and Afghanistan but didn't once vote addressing the Islamic terrorists or the front groups supporting them."

              Because it's obvious that they didn't support Islamic terrorists. No one does except Islamic terrorists, you jackass. They were just making it clear that they wouldn't accept torture and murder from any group.

              "BTW, none of the votes had any binding power."

              Isn't that too bad. Maybe people should give up ALL forms of protest when they're unhappy. I tell you what. Let's remove the second Amendment from the constitution and then I'll remind you that you're not allowed to protest by your argument.

                His predecessor had no problem doing the exact same thing to Clinton did he ?

                  Actually, the Clinton's and Carters were some of the worst expresidents when it comes to the cheap shots. As to President Bush, I thought his handling of past and future presidents should serve as an example of how a White House should transition. When Bush 43 moved into the White House, it took several days to repair and bring things back to working order in the offices. There were over 100 key boards alone that had to be replaced. While funny on the surface, when you and I are paying for it, the joke was over. Total costs to taxpayers for the Clinton staffer's pranks was just under $2,000,000. That's a lot of money.

                  For Obama, Mr. Bush clearly laid out the plan that every courtesy should be shown and everything perfect. From everything we've heard that is the case. With President Obama's close connections with the press, had there been anything wrong, we would have heard about it. I hope that whomever is the next president, the transition reflects the Bush Transition Team and not the Clinton's. Any president faces monumental challenges, he or she doesn't need any distractions from stupid staff pranks.

                    Still spreading that crap...lol "it took several days to repair and bring things back to working order in the offices. There were over 100 key boards alone that had to be......"
                    Do realize that the keyboard comment by itself is enough to discredit the rest...after eight years of constant use getting new keyboards for the new occupents would seem likely///How long does yours last ? As for the rest of the garbage..provide a reputable link.
                    As far as the transition from bushboy to Obama...kudos to the bush team.From all accounts it went very smooth.

                  Dear Redneck...

                  You got it right ! Also, as long as we are paying taxes, we apologize to no one in any country. It is time to display our Power again just to edify who we are and who the USA will remain to be. Home Of The Brave! Negotiations with anyone is not in our vocabulary or our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
                  No matter whom anyone voted for, the entire country has become a victim of a "Bait & Switch Presidential Campaign."

                  GOD BLESS THE USA

                  Debbie

                    I agree with Redneck. Any president of the United States of America should never try to put down this country for any reason. He should Love it or leave it, before he totally destories it from insideout!! People who voted for him is going to regret it. He truely is not an American, he got into office only because he ran on what he is, not because he was the best suited for the job or the most knowledgeble to run our country. My family has always been very patriotic people, we fought for every war that the USA needed them to. It is a slap in the face of all true Americans to have the president try degrade our country especially in the presents of foreign people. God Bless America!
