Ooes Obama hate American acceptionalism??

Wow. The spelling and slaughter of the English language sure did not help our right wing cause.

But yes. Obama has never liked American exceptionalism. And he intends to stop it.

Depends on what you mean by "exceptionalism".

Liberals tend to take it to mean:

- We are "exceptional" because we are a nation of immigrants, where an immigrant can arrive, and become a real American. One that can become fully vested into the system and become as successful as that persons drive, imagination and determination allows that person to be.

-We are "exceptional" because we are a nation of laws. That for the most part, corruption isn't tolerated and we can expect our system of justice to be fair, balanced and objective.

-We are "exceptional" because we are a nation of individual freedom and liberty. And that we are able to question our government when we percieve injustice. And our press acts as a watchdog to power.

Conservatives tend to take it to mean:

-We are "exceptional" because we have the most powerful military in the world. What we say..goes.

-We are "exceptional" because we can do things that we would condemn other countries for doing. Like invading and conquering another nation.

-We are "exceptional" because we have the richest people in the world. And the private sector thrives on unbridled greed and corruption.

Those are the differences.

good post.
 
Hilarious.

Funny thing it's not liberals smashing unions, calling the wages of Average Americans "to high", hiring in other countries, encouraging hiring in other countries through pretty terrible economic polices like Bush's tax holidays, changing overtime rules that allow companies not to pay overtime, cutting taxes on the wealthy (which takes money OUT of the economy and puts into their overseas bank accounts), privatizing ports, prisons and the military, gutting regulations meant to keep corruption to a minimum, our air clean and our food and products safe.

It's conservatives.

In other words..they are fast tracking our rush to the bottom.
 
The OPs horrible grasp of the English language notwithstanding...he's wrong about the President and his views on American Exceptionalism.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. I’m enormously proud of my country and its role and history in the world. If you think about the site of this summit and what it means, I don’t think America should be embarrassed to see evidence of the sacrifices of our troops, the enormous amount of resources that were put into Europe postwar, and our leadership in crafting an Alliance that ultimately led to the unification of Europe. We should take great pride in that.

And if you think of our current situation, the United States remains the largest economy in the world. We have unmatched military capability. And I think that we have a core set of values that are enshrined in our Constitution, in our body of law, in our democratic practices, in our belief in free speech and equality, that, though imperfect, are exceptional.

Now, the fact that I am very proud of my country and I think that we’ve got a whole lot to offer the world does not lessen my interest in recognizing the value and wonderful qualities of other countries, or recognizing that we’re not always going to be right, or that other people may have good ideas, or that in order for us to work collectively, all parties have to compromise and that includes us.

And so I see no contradiction between believing that America has a continued extraordinary role in leading the world towards peace and prosperity and recognizing that that leadership is incumbent, depends on, our ability to create partnerships because we create partnerships because we can’t solve these problems alone.



Obama Too Is An American Exceptionalist

Obama and American exceptionalism

Let us know when his actions match his pretty words.

You really should learn to think instead of just posting bullshit. If I took him at his word, I'd have voted for him. Unfortunately, for him, I looked at his actions BEFORE he became President.... the man is a liar. And anyone who quotes his words to back up their support for him is an ass.

What is it that you believe he has "lied" about? I believe his actions HAVE matched his words. In what way do you believe they have not? Try giving some specifics and not just ODS fueled platitudes.
 
Yeah
or cutting secret deals with Big Pharma to increase their profits

oh never mind, that was Papa Obama

That's the diff between Deomocrats and Republicans. Democrats make deals on Health Care and stimulus fixing the infrustruture of help America that is used by all Americans and Republicans make deals for War that desatroys America and stimulus for bankers that benefit a few.

His stance on Israel, Chrysler has "repaid" the loans, Gitmo, Obamacare will not increase the deficit, no federal funds for abortion, "we have run out of places to drill for oil", "Cut Deficit in Half by end of first term", health care debate will be covered by CSPAN..... the man makes Clinton seem honest.

What hasn't he lied about?

I have to leave for work so I'm afraid I don't have time to address each point, but while I'm toiling away, why don't you provide the EXACT things he has said (not what other people have said) that are contrary to what he has done. Things like how has the affordable care act increased the deficit...what happened when he signed an EO closing Gitmo, what federal funds are used to pay for abortions...etc. You know, actually back up your ODS bullshit.

That's the better question..
 
Yes

Papa Obama's push towards a Left Statism
smells pretty bad

Not to mention it is not doing too much for
the economy

But I am glad to see that you
realize how wasteful gov't programs
are
:eusa_whistle:

perhaps now if you take a look at the US Flag
you will be all better

Chief..that program was Bush's baby. Lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels. He didn't even bother to try and provision funds to pay for it..and it was a big gift to big US pharma.

To lay that at Obama's feet is disingenious at best..and a lie at worst.

Which is it?
 
Which is it is a good question,

the republicans slow march to socialism or

the democrat's head long rush towards it,

and then y'all act like there are no others that believe neither path should be taken.

The "one party system" of DemoRepublicraticans who run the US are fucking it up, end of story.
 
His failing economic policies are just leveling us with rest of the world

You know

Spreading it around.....

Spreding it around is better than spreading it to a few of his rich friends like Bush did.
do you believe in working for anything???do you think that someone who has worked harder,made better decisions,and invested more of their time than you have to become more prosperous than you should also divvy up their money for your sorry ass???....SOUNDS LIKE A LIBERAL FORM OF SLAVERY TO ME.......:cuckoo:
