Far Right’s New Talking Point: Obama’s Remarks In Europe Prove He Hates America
Far Right’s New Talking Point: Obama’s Remarks In Europe Prove He Hates America
Speaking in Strasbourg, France, last Friday, President Obama sought to turn the page on the American-Europe relationship. He admitted that in the past, America had “shown arrogance” and had “been dismissive, even derisive” of Europe. He also said that Europe’s rampant anti-Americanism was “insidious.” Neither attitude, he said, was “wise,” nor do they “represent the truth.”
Apparently, maturity and nuance from a U.S. President gets interpreted as anti-American hatred to the radical right. On Friday night, Fox News’ Sean Hannity said Obama’s speech was evidence that “he harbors deep resentment” of America. The right wing continued its hysteria over the weekend and today:
KARL ROVE: There are ways to make the point that he made without running down America.
SEAN HANNITY: I am tired of Obama pandering to what I consider to be the worst instincts of those who hate this country.
NICOLE WALLACE: I think at his core he does not seem to believe in American exceptionalism, the way more Republicans define it.
Watch a compilation:
Not surprisingly, Hannity tied Obama’s comments back to his favorite topic: Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “Where did he get these ideas?” Hannity asked on Fox & Friends this morning. “Could it be that he sat in Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years? Could it be that he hung out with Father Pfleger? Could it be that he was hanging out with his buddy Tony Rezko?”
For months, the far right has sought to peg Obama as some sort of anti-American “Manchurian candidate.” In October, Michael Goldfarb said that “Obama has a long track record of being around…anti-American rhetoric.” Rep. Steve King (R-IA) warned that an Obama presidency would turn America into a “totalitarian dictatorship,” while Tom Delay prided himself on being among the first to declare Obama a Marxist. Dispensing with nuance, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) proclaimed flatly last fall, “Barack Obama’s views are against America.”

No logical, feeling person can be proud of what has been done in the name of this country over the past decade. It’s hardly anti-American to want your country to do better and be the best it can be.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:33 pmOMFG, those clowns are batshit crazy.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:36 pmMy apologies to all the bats I may have offended.
Kevin Drum had a great post on Mother Jones over the weekend wherein he pondered why, exactly, so many on the far-right are feeling besieged and panicky. Why is it they feel the need to lash out at, demonize and obstruct Obama.
“Who, exactly, is their enemy these days?” Kevin asked. “I’m not sure they know themselves. But maybe that makes it worse…. like a horror movie where you’re surrounded on all sides by something you can never quite make out, I guess it seems to them like there’s something horrible going on, but it’s something so insidious that they’re only allowed to catch occasional foggy glimpses of it.”
Steve Bennen at the Washington Monthly takes this thought another step, too.
“I think this also helps explain why truly batty conservatives like Bachmann and Glenn Beck fabricate dire threats that don’t exist in our reality. They’re struggling to deal with legitimate progressive policy ideas, so they’re stuck manufacturing make-believe policy ideas that suit their worldview. Obama wants to adopt a global currency! He wants young people in government-sponsored re-education camps! He wants to take medical decisions away from doctors and give them to bureaucrats! He’s going to impose a tax on every time we flip a light switch!
“These ideas are clearly delusional, but for those who need to see a political apocalypse, they apparently don’t have a choice. Debating real ideas on the merits is proving too difficult, so they’re creating their own reality and hoping their supporters play along.”

April 6th, 2009 at 1:39 pmAren’t these comments by on air personalities about the duly elected Preisent anti-American?
April 6th, 2009 at 1:40 pmWell well well…the truth hurts the repubs.
There must be an end to the American fantasy of American exceptionalism if the world is to continue without wars of an imperialist nature.
If Americans were really taught the history of our country, this fantasy wouldn’t be so easy to perpetuate.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:40 pmNor do most people with a functioning cerebral cortex.
We’ve managed to prove that we’re anything but exceptional.

What about the rest of the insects?
Our TP moderators seem to have caught “the bug”. (snicker… ow!…. wadja hit me for?….)
April 6th, 2009 at 1:41 pmI love my country. I’d like it back from our corrupt gutless politicians, their big money sponsors, and the smattering of media lackeys.
I’d like an order of investigative journalism as well. Rove, Hannity, and Bolton are laughable in content.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pmPresident Obama, and we to the left of center, loves this country enough to acknowledge it’s flaws and try to make this a better place for all of us.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pmelecting obama was not a magic ticket to getting the country back.
people like hannity need to be beaten back. if that entails an actual beating then so be it.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pmHannity, Rove, Bolton et al. are talking out against the President during a time of war. Why that’s…that’s…unpatriotic.
Why do the wingnuts hate America?
April 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pmHere is the difference between some on the right and those on the left that critique our country. Rove, Hannity, etc. see America as a six year-old tee-ball player, you applaud him no matter what. He hits the ball and runs to third instead of first will solicit a, “Good job!” The left views America as a team in the NFL. You always look to improve, always review what you did and improve on mistakes you identify—because the other team damn well is, and it’s a cut throat league.
Criticism makes our country stronger by identifying and removing the deficiencies, head in the sand does not.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:46 pmIt is just this kind of paranoia by that let to the persecution of Bill Clinton. From day one they were looking for something to attack him with and all they could come up with was Monica Lewinski in the end.

My apologies to all the bats I may have offended.
these people aren’t crazy, they know exactly what they’re doing. These people are McVieists who want to incite others to armed insurrection. They don’t care how many people die, they want blood in the streets so they can claim that President Obama can’t govern.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:46 pmThey are terrified of people who are respectful of others and can speak intelligently, and hold their own. Anyone who has those qualities clearly hates America. Look at George W Bush, who was inarticulate and insulting – he obviously loves America more, by the way he trashed the economy and our international standing.
See? Screw America in the ass and obviously you “love” it more than someone who tries to heal and protect America.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:47 pmOh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of –
April 6th, 2009 at 1:47 pmWingers, find yourself another country to be part of!
If those remarks are hate,
then what is it
when Righties shoot Unitarians and Policemen here at home?
April 6th, 2009 at 1:49 pmTypical conservative hypocracy: tough-love applies to individual Americans who need to be called-out and admit that they have problems (drugs, alcoholism, unemployed).
But try to state the America as a country is imperfect and you are no longer American.
Here I thought part of the Protestant/Christian value system INCLUDED admitting that you are IMPERFECT
April 6th, 2009 at 1:49 pmIs it just my imagination, or are the wingnuts sounding more and more like Trajan? You know — take a remark out of context, hype it as “evidence” of something dark and sinister, and scream your “theory” as loud as you can — hoping that nobody will insist you back it up with anything solid.
Obama speaks the truth about our past relationship with Europe (and the rest of the world, for that matter) — relationships that are in tatters because of the past eight years. And while Obama is mending fences, he’s considered anti-American, an “America hater”, a “Manchurian candidate”, totalitarian, Marxist, etc. etc.
Perhaps the right just doesn’t know what to do with a President who’s more than a rah-rah sock puppet.

April 6th, 2009 at 1:53 pmThe concept of American exceptionalism is morally repugnant because at its base it is the EXCUSE why WE can demand other countries comply with standards we would NEVER accept for ourselves and why WE are allowed to do things we would never allow other countries to do. If you are not holding yourself, your allies and your enemies to the same standard you arent even pretending to have a moral standard

As near as I can tell, when a Muslim extremist straps a bomb to himself and detonates it in a crowded marketplace, hoping to kill as many people as possible because he opposes a particular political ideology, that’s terrorism.
When a right-wing extremist bursts into a church and starts firing a gun randomly, hoping to kill as many people as possible because he opposes a particular political ideology, he’s merely a “misguided individual.”
April 6th, 2009 at 1:55 pm“Where did he get these ideas?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gee, I dunno, ya think his HIGH I.Q. has anything to do with his ability to THINK for himself?
But here ya go dropout, Hannity, here’s your IDIOT and HIS NEOCON war, you remember, Bubble, the uniter not the divider:
“You’re either with us or against us . . .”
April 6th, 2009 at 1:57 pmNICOLE WALLACE: I think at his core he does not seem to believe in American exceptionalism, the way more Republicans define it.
Also known as “we can do whatever the hell we want, because WE’RE AMERICANS, F*** YEAH! And if you don’t like it, we’ll bomb you back to the stone age”
April 6th, 2009 at 2:00 pmwags said it before me, but…
The idea that anyone can sincerely believe in “American exceptionalism” the way Republicans do is just absurd. And “American exceptionalism” is the reason our standing in the world has plummeted so precipitously over the past decade.
Whenever anyone expresses the belief that they are exceptional and should be treated differently because of it, it’s bound to cause resentment and disgust among those whom you’re calling unexceptional.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:02 pmAnd we heard from the same people that liberals and Democrats were unAmerican for speaking out against President Bush. My, how times have changed
April 6th, 2009 at 2:03 pmFake News Network and their rightwingnut fools never quit. The fact remains that they have nothing on President Obama. This is just another lame attempt to destroy the President’s reputation. They need to give up because it’s not going to work. They’re anti-American!

Exceptionalism is the perception that a country, society, institution, movement, or time period is “” (ie. unusual or extraordinary) in some way, and thus does not conform to normal rules, general principles, or the like.
An excuse to not have to abide by the rules that everyone else is expected to abide by. Can anyone say “torture, renditions, pre-emptive war, incarceration without trial, oversight, transparency, rule of law, …” shall I go on? I can…..
Countries of all kinds, including the modern United States, Great Britain at the height of the British Empire, Imperial Japan, Iran, Venezuela, Israel, the USSR and Nazi Germany have claimed manifest exceptionality, as have many historic empires such as Ancient Rome and China, and a wide range of minor kingdoms and tribes in history. In each case a basis has been presented as to why the country is exceptional compared to all other countries, drawing upon circumstance, cultural background and mythos, and self-perceived national aims.
Nice company we are in there…. how many of these countries listed that claimed exceptionalism were countries that, in thoeir period of “exceptionalism” were actually considered to be positive and productive — “good” countries?
It is interesting to observe that the attitude of exceptionalism is also the PRIMARY factor in bigotry in any of its shades — the ‘darkie’, or woman, or what have you is always perceived as “lesser” “weaker” “Not as important or significant” etc..
It is the bigot who operates from and argues for exceptionalism. For a nation to make the same argument it is really the same priciple: “We are better than you, so we don’t have to follow those rules, but you do.”
Talk about “elitism” as a dysphemism.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:05 pmNICOLE WALLACE: I think at his core he does not seem to believe in American exceptionalism, the way more Republicans define it.
Ya think? He doesn’t believe in torture or unregulated greed or the idea that just because some bonehead pundit thinks America can do no wrong we are the equivalent to the second coming of Jebus?
When are Republicans going to realize the rest of the world really does see the sh*t stains on their shirt?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:06 pmThey are liars. Plain and simple.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pmThis is driving me crazy. What about a daily digest of the disgusting crap spewing from the mouths of these crooks and liars?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pmIf you line it all up it’s so obviously the output of sick individuals.
After 8 years of hate, torture, lies and murder one might well question President Obama’s comment. We still hear hate and racism from our Media and Law Makers again all the Muslim people. Bush labled them Axis of Evil and Americans followed that. Hate was showed for even American people of color as we watched Black Americans beg for help as the Bush Administration turned a blind eye. We hear TV Host still attack President Obama with racism and hate remarks. So why on earth would the Middle East think the US has changed. The US Civil Rights Bill was passed as Blacks were still being murdered. Bush has spent 8 years drilling hate in the mines of the American people and McCain/Palin did their best to continue the mission. The GOP shows not respect for President Obama and the TV Journalist fake/real do their best to continue the Bush mission. We have to first deal with ourselves and clean our own house. I know President Obama is talking from his heart but the US has a long way to go before we can say we don’t hate. We saw thousands of Katrina victims dead because our country didn’t think they were worth living.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pmWhen I went to school, the kind of exceptionalism Republicans claim was called ’special’.
Today they just drug the crap out of you for it.

April 6th, 2009 at 2:17 pmFor sure, the previous administration was single-minded to the point of arrogance and most European states are full of anti-American sentiment. I thought Rove was right that it could have been expressed a bit better – Was alienating the other half of the country necessary ?
Actions speak louder !
April 6th, 2009 at 2:17 pmAnything that hints of regulation and examination will be attacked by the corporate culture.
The Corporations do not want Obama to succeed since his presidency ushers in the possibility of oversight and actual regulation to the point of investigation and laws with teeth. The revamping of the bush-corrupted regulatory agencies, the discovery and investigation of increasing salmonella cases and continuous reports of malfeasance practices by corporations threaten the hold and gains they established during the bush years.
The best antidote to that is to pay integrity-free mouthpieces in the noise machine to cast doubt and try to distort and discredit those who would seek to shed light on what corporations have been up to these past 8-10 years. Such stellar behavior as Pfizer in Kano, Nigeria–testing their drug on unknowing children, just as bush’s FDA tried in their horrific “CHEERS” program.
This is the fear that is being disseminated, and why it’s being sown amongst the country’s populace. For no other reason but to make aggressive profits at the expense of human lives.

There are delusional people out there who will completely believe this bulls_ _ t. Look at what happend in Pittsburgh. These so called religious people don’t care about how many American will be killed or injured, all they care about is getting back into POWER. They are greedy sobs, and I hope for the sake of our beloved country we can overcome this crap.
I mean these right wing nuts have spread so many lies in the name of their God. It’s shameful. I thought it was one God and I know the God I praise would never do what the right has done.
I’m glad the Pres. O won. Can you even imagine if McCain & Palin got into office? It would be the runner up to World War III. Seems like all these people want to do is go to war and take from third world countries, at the expense of one of our most cherished, the military.
The right want total control over America, one party, that’s it, then control what we read, view, eat, and even learn. And they are the first to cry freedom of speech, yeah right, their paranoid version.
Anyways, rant over.

April 6th, 2009 at 2:19 pmUndecided – what? Who alienated half the country?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:21 pmIt still lingers of course, but the remedy for British exceptionalism was perhaps the 1970’s when we had deflation, inflation, general strikes, shortages, and half of the 80’s (11% unemployment, more strikes, an increase in racism).
(I speak from personal experience).
When your country is falling apart around you, whatever admirable qualities that had existed in your society or no bloody use and the sane tend to abandon the idea—they simply can’t afford to live on nostalgia and fantasy any longer.
And is is always the case when you face up to the truth, you’re ultimately better-off for it.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:22 pmAgree.
They don’t want any consideration made by on any issue by the American public.
Their goal is to keep you either afraid, uninformed or in debt and by the looks of it, preferably all three.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:23 pmThe most hilarious thing about this video is that in all of these reactions they actually prove President Obama’s point. “How dare he say that, we’re the GREATEST country in the world”
April 6th, 2009 at 2:23 pmYou see, what the right-wing nuts thing we’re SUPPOSED to do vis-a-vis Europe is:
1. Tell them what to do and if they don’t like it, tough!
2. Remind the world that we’re the biggest, baddest country in the world and they’d better go along with us, or else!
3. Threaten every country that doesn’t allow us to steamroll them.
Because God has blessed this country and we are the chosen ones!
April 6th, 2009 at 2:25 pmIs there any chance that this is proof that fox is going down in a ball of flames ?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:25 pmRead this and tell me if we are not in the midst of Republican Fascism???
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:26 pm5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed
to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

As defined by President Obama: “America tries to lead by example.”
April 6th, 2009 at 2:30 pmI’m always shocked by the neocon idea that something is either all good or all bad.
That is a stage of moral development around 5 years old. Like the poem: When she was good she was all so good. When she was bad, she was all so bad.

Rather than the republican/Nixon definition: America is a leader, so whatever we do is right.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:35 pmIs it an accident that the word “arrogant” in the picture is under a really, really ugly walrus with an even uglier mustache ?
And are you telling me that when previous presidents (many of them the darlings of the far right) said, in one way or another, that America hasn’t fully lived up to its promise, that these presidents were anti-American ?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:37 pmThere are two groundswells building.
One is from the children of the Right who will act out in fear and cause grief and destruction.
The other is from that too long Silent majority who want America back.
The righty weirdos are firecrackers, noise and damage when used by idiots.
The others are the folk who built the America that defeated Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:38 pmThis station hates Obama to the fullest, I have never even seen anything like this before in my life. OMG and they say this crap with a straight face LOL… Sean Hannity is the last person somebody should be listening to. He only have people on his show with his views. I don’t even watch Fox News.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:39 pmOk, this is past being annoying and entering into the realm of dangerous. It should pop up here soon, but Michele Bachman is now saying that Obama wants to put our kids in “re-education camps and brainwash them into liberal think”. After she said that the populace should be “armed and dangerous” and all the other right wingers saying things like “strap it on” or “we have to get rid of him”, and now calling him Anti-American… all this is doing is making the right wing nut jobs more full of fear and hate and more liable to commit crimes like killing three cops with an assault weapon.
I really do fear for our country if the right keeps this up.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:41 pmIs the United States of America equivalent to God?
I mean, are we not supposed to look at it’s past with a critical eye, to improve upon itself?
Or, is the country so high and mighty that whatever it does is right?
Because, no offense, but it was only 60 years ago that minorities could not play professional sports.
Was that right?
Hell, it was 40 years ago that “colored” people couldn’t even drink out of the same water fountain as “whites”.
Was that right?
Or am I just un-American for being critical of her past?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:41 pmOh really? They were “alienated” by that one line?
They weren’t “alienated” by any of the President’s previous actions or words?
You are right, though — the reaction of the “right world” is utterly predictable. Perhaps the President has decided to ignore the histrionics and bad-faith whining of that “half of the country” and simply do his job?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:42 pmRupert Murdoch has these stooges working for him and he’s not even American. Maybe it’s not in the best interest of the country to have a foreigner running a propaganda machine and pretending it’s a news outlet. Maybe his mission is to destroy this country.

April 6th, 2009 at 2:42 pmI was surprised by the phrase “American exceptionalism”.
Apparently, I *do* live a sheltered life… didn’t know people out there openly talked in these terms. I also don’t watch Fixed News – maybe that’s my problem.
I was also a surprised that a fictional character on Law & Order, CI was being quoted in TP.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Wallace)
I wanted to see who this lady was.
Now I don’t feel so bad :-> She is as made up as the idea of American exceptionalism.
OTOH, if Ali was talking about the nut who worked for Sarah Palin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolle_Wallace), then I still don’t feel bad.
She also is fictional – or at least living in a fictional world.
(as you can tell, I *also* live in a fictional world … using wikipedia as I do)
April 6th, 2009 at 2:43 pmUndecided, Bush alienated more than half the country when he authorized torture in our name. Now we are no more exceptional than Iran is as was shown on 60 Minutes last night.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:45 pmIf my president and his new administration want to demonstrate who really loves America, release all the documents from the previous administration, and begin investigations into their illegal activities.
Only by doing exactly that will the Roves and Boltons and Cheneys of the world be silenced once and for all.
Notice how quiet Bush has been. Never thought I’d say it, but perhaps he’s the only one who realizes just how much trouble the lot of them could be in for. Either that or he’s stoned drunk every day.

I’m fairly certain that the 67% of the American public who think President Obama is doing a good job will see the remark for what it is. We have been arrogant and it’s time for it to stop. Also,
April 6th, 2009 at 2:47 pmThis is just another way of saying “NO” because they have been marginalized and irrelevant and yet a few Reich Wings Nuts will agree and fight for their Reich Wing ideology and dogma.These people will never understand 70 percent or more of America completely disagrees with their SPIN.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:48 pmOops…
Also, I certainly hope that our President doesn’t start measuring his words for fear of how the right wing is going to distort them. Because they will find a way no matter what he says.

I truly do believe that they will do this, just not right now. We already have the right declaring war on Obama for the things he wants to do to fix our economy, now is not the time to add investigating the Bush Crime Family. I don’t understand why people insist that this be done right now. I would rather see President Obama fix our economy and come up with universal health care right now and take care of prosecuting the Bush Crime Family after he has accomplished those two goals.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:50 pmDon’t any of you people work for fux sakes? Obama needs your tax dollars for the betterment of the world right now…….DO SOMETHING!
April 6th, 2009 at 2:52 pmWho will arrest these people for treason and sedition?
Here’s another statement from Bachman in MN on Obama:
Rep. Michele Bachmann, who has levied the most bizarre and outlandish critiques against President Obama since before he came into office, did not disappoint this weekend.
Appearing on Minnesota radio station KTLK-AM, the Republican congresswoman expressed her concern that White House was trying to put in place “re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward.” Furthering the Obama-as-autocrat theme, Bachmann said the youngsters would “then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.”

April 6th, 2009 at 2:54 pmI haven’t followed all the threads and all the comments, but have any of the hysterical righties gone so far as to accuse President Obama of “scheduling” the G20 Summit and his European tour to coincide with Holy Week?
That would feed into their messianic notions quite nicely, dontcha think?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:55 pmYou’re right. I had not consedered things in those terms. Thats why I’m Undecided :)
April 6th, 2009 at 2:56 pmTo me this shows how much disarray the Reich Wing really is in when Shameless Sean Hannity is whining about Mrs.Obama`s outfits and how they spin a comment from President Obama that makes us look at our attitude towards Europe.

April 6th, 2009 at 2:57 pmAnd the reason you’re not DOing SOMETHING is?
They just don’t get it. American exceptionalism includes a sense of right and wrong, and it includes self reflection.
I keep concluding that the republicans are a collective of diverse individuals, with a common developmental problem. Specifically, they seem to lack or be ‘light’ in the final stages of social interactions.
I think somehow the Republican party has a natual tendancy to concentrate such individuals to the point that the party becomes unstable.
I think we need psychologists to speak out about republican behavior. now!

Obama cannot limit what he needs to say and do based on what the rightwing demands or what might offend their delicate sensabilities. Obama was right. There is no argument that our foriegn policy HAS been arrogant. He also said the European knee jerk anti-Americanism is wrong. He was doing what NEEDS to be done. Repairing the fences with out traditional allies. The fact the right cannot stand the idea that it is even HINTED that we are less than perfect is THEIR cross to bear. They dont like it TOUGH. If the truth is their enemy then the problem is THEIRS. They need to cowboy up and let America get on with doing what needs to be done.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:02 pmObama’s mythical disdain for the USA must be why a Syrian guy and 3 accomplices were arrested for trying to assassinate him in Turkey.
SO, according to Righty: “They hate him because he hates the U.S., which they hate”. (note: don’t try inputting this formula into a computing device – it will break)

I would settle for a subtle hint of what’s coming to shut some of these folks up. Right now, they’re acting like mob bosses but without the knowledge that the Feds are always behind the scenes working on a case against them.

April 6th, 2009 at 3:05 pmAlready got my 10 hrs in for the day……time to go to Walmart and buy some more crap….got to keep the money Obama needs to hand out flowing into the county.

“Always deal the mark a few good hands first.”
April 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pmI can’t think of one enemy that we have ever had who was more against anything the president does than the reichwingnut fringe. They are worse than the Taliban or Al Queda.

April 6th, 2009 at 3:31 pmWow! Anyone who’s been paying the least bit of attention to the pants wetting, ultra-shrill, snot-nosed temper tantrums of the Family Values Christian Right Republicans knows that they are messing their diapers over Obama and the wonderful win for Dems in Nov.
Add to their misery the fact they are totally out of power, led by a drug addled talk show bigot gassass, bereft of ideas & that their Jesus -as portrayed by Fox news- is losing followers coast to coast and one can see why they are having a full-blown gonzo whopper of a hissy fit.
But honestly! even the most tolerant parent will put a sniveling brat in time-out when needed. And boy! Do they need it!
Sadly, their tantrums are dangerous. They scream daily the code words of hate yet never take responsibility when one of their own commits a tragic act in their name. “It Wasn’t Me” they sneer. How utterly pathetic the party of Lincoln has become.

This little talking point won’t stick either…because the repugs are idiots and everything they touch or look at is toxic.
Everybody but these ignorant repugs believe President Obama when he states his first priority is with the US and its citizens. I know it “unsettling”\troublesome for the teabags,on life support repugs. IDIOTS!
It’s hurt when you repugs can’t shake stupid.
when a landslide in the US and tons abroad understands our very best, smartest, US choice, President Obama, making things a little better for us.
AND he sounds and look damn good delivering his sensible messages. We are proud he is working for us. rubbersuits.
The only thing that is sticking on the repug club is their willingness to accept stupid as their foundation.

Maybe it’s because when there was an invasion of Kuwait, it didn’t lift a finger until America led.
Since it was George Bush Sr.’s fault in the first place, it would be only right for him to fix his own mistake.
Or didn’t you know it was Bush’s envoy to Iraq, April Glaspie, who told Saddam that America wouldn’t interfere if Iraq invaded Kuwait?
If not, you should keep quiet, and not reveal your historical ignorance.

I don’t know about you guys, but for me the Honey moon is OVER! Obama is doing a Pelosi on everybody!!!
April 6th, 2009 at 4:52 pmNo, no, sacopenapa, it’s all a ploy. We need to be able to listen in on rebubliscums to get the goods on them. Then we’ll make them vote for Obama’s agenda. Or maybe the repugs will want to change the law to protect themselves.
What do you think?
April 6th, 2009 at 5:19 pmPete,
Glad to hear your limited.
April 6th, 2009 at 5:32 pmWhat exactly is the Obama agenda? Shouldn’t Obama’s agenda be the promotion of the American Dream. Isn’t that why so many people are trying to get to America, even illegally? Or should his dream be the dream of a free ride and lack of personal responsibility for all?
Obama is a disappointment. Yes, he did win the election with his buddies from Acorn(voter frauid indictments in 12 states). Where’s the outrage? Where’s the outrage of passing on trillions of dollars of debt to generations to come? These are just two examples of non-partisan issues that every American should be outraged about.
He will go down in history as one of the worst President’s (next to Jimmy Carter). What happens when the money runs out? Reasonable people will be prepared.
April 6th, 2009 at 7:10 pmTypical RepubliCons! They cause the problem, then try to blame others. Some of these crooks, like Tom Delay, belong in prison.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:23 pmThe GOP has nothing substantial to offer the American public regarding economic or foreign policy, so instead they resort to the same juvenile name-calling that failed them during the 2008 election campaign. All they can do is point their finger at Obama, sneer, and smugly proclaim “Don’t trust him. He is not one of us. He is un-American. He is a socialist….or a communist…..or a fascist…..or a Muslim…or the son of Satan.”
And their right-wing base jumps up and down and gets their blood boiling.
And the other 85% of the American public shake their heads, give a heavy sigh, and go about their business trying to help Obama make the world a healthier, safer, more economically vibrant place to live.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:36 pmHannity et al are no doubt unwatchable bores but I agree that I found O’s America-bashing a little bit dispiriting coming from our President speaking in a foreign country. Then again, I found it upsetting that he actually went on Leno as if he’s promoting a new film. What happened to fiscal responsibility, restoring Habeus, ending illegal wiretapping and investigating any other illegal activity of Bush, etc? He needs to get back home now and get to work.
April 7th, 2009 at 1:16 amNope, just stating the obvious truth about the mentality of the ruling class of the government for the last eight years. The Prez just forgot to add the term stupid into the mix.
April 7th, 2009 at 7:37 amAs neither a radical right, or radical left American, I found the President’s remarks typical of a president who wanted to appear humble, although very studied humility, before worshiping, curious, European audience. When in fact his entire career has been self-promotion (I’m from Chicago)and a lot of arrogance thrown into the mix. You don’t “write” two autobiographies with a very thin resume without just a little arrogance. I believe the right has got this man’s character spot on this go-a-round. The left refuses to study it, because they are still punch-drunk in love with, uh, words…”…words, just words.” Those words not his words.
April 7th, 2009 at 3:54 pmTHIS SO CALLED PRESIDENT IS WEAK.IT’S ONE THING TO BE HUMBLE,AND ANOTHER TO BE A JACKA….
April 7th, 2009 at 4:16 pmI agree totally with bumpfister, as I said, the humble part is “studied.”
April 7th, 2009 at 4:27 pmNo person ever maintains everyone’s approval. On the other hand, we cannot oversimplify the problems facing the president. To say he is a “jacka” for addressing a critical issue in American-European diplomacy is just that, an oversimplification. I am a patriot. I have been in Europe and the trip I took made me love my country more because I had an opportunity to compare it with the rest of the world. Let’s make no mistake, an Englishman loves his country as much as we do; a German loves hers as much as we do–they are all patriots, as we are. Obama is humble, yes, because too often Americans and Europeans scream at each other and that hinders progress. To deny that we have been arrogant as a country and as a culture is not a mistake. Obama is not doing that. But he is not therefor saying that Europe is not arrogant as well–a look in a history book will tell you they have had a tendency towards snobbery. Obama is offering hand, folks, a hand to these people in an attempt to end this bickering between the two halves of western culture. As to some of the other complaints against Obama, he is not perfect, and there is much more that I wish he would do. But I am not going to make a snap judgment now, only three months into his presidency. To those disappointed with him, I say, grow up and get some patience. It takes time to get things done. If in four years he’s screwed up, then we judge him, then we vote him out of office. Until then, take a deep breath and wait to see how the game plays out.
April 7th, 2009 at 4:56 pmThe Kool-aid Preachers preaching to an ever shrinking choir.
I don’t see as ironic that these commments come the heels of the lastest approval rating for Obama at 66. And those that are informed of such ratings, understand that’s a high approval rating.
It seems the more hate that these Kool-aid Preachers preach, the higher Obama’s rating goes.
April 7th, 2009 at 5:14 pmAfter watching him and observing the crooks he’s installing as his cabinet,Obama sure feels like the anti-Christ.Several people I know also tell me that they feel Obama is the anti-Christ and there’s a big chance that he is.I’m still waiting to see his birth certificate as are many thousands of people.
