Obama: I've Restored The US As The 'Most Respected Country In The World'
2015-06-03
[BREITBART] Monday while President Barack Obama
If you have a small business, you didn't build that...
was answering questions at a town hall with YSEALI Fellows, an exchange program for community leaders from ASEAN, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, he said his administration has restored the Untied States as the "the most respected country on earth."

Obama said, "People don't remember, but when I came into office, the Untied States in world opinion ranked below China and just barley above Russia, and today once again, the Untied States is the most respected country on earth. Part of that I think is because of the work we did to reengage the world and say we want to work with you as partners with mutual interests and mutual respect. It was on that basis we were able to end two wars while still focusing on the very real threat of terrorism and try to work with our partners in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's the reason why we are moving in the direction to normalize relations with Cuba and the nuclear deal that we are trying to negotiate with Iran."

#11  Fortunately I don't base my deep respect for America on US politicians. I'd be horribly lost.

#6  Well you have to consider that he gets all his news from the likes of the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC.

#5  Survey says 78% of Americans want Congresscritters to pee in cups - I wonder what a poll of the Executive would show. Stuff like this sure suggests some drug abuse.

#1  As everything this guy says, the exact opposite is absolutely true.

Frequent speaking engagements are used to demonize your opponents - to be harpy, to accuse them exactly of doing what your tactics are.
Always defensive and petty and defensive.

Why is it true? because barak said its true. And why should we do what he says? because barak said so.

But of Course!

GENIUS.
