"Barack loves to tell the story of America as he sees it through his lens. And that is a much different lens then the one Ronald Reagan used."
One of the many things which really bugged me about Barack Hussein Obama when he took office, were his "apology tours". You know, telling the world what a rotten country we are and how we got to be that way. The Loony Left, the America haters of the world were appreciative of that. So much so, they gave Obama a Noble Peace Prize. He received it for doing ..... nothing. But it was given in advance for what we could do at some time.
Barack loves to tell the story of America as he sees it through his lens. And that is a much different lens then the one Ronald Reagan used. Reagan's lens saw America as that "bright city on the hill". How America has always offered hope for the hopeless. Obama's lens quite often showed how we became great by not doing great things. And then he would apologize to the world for our transgressions. Drove me flipping crazy.
Now he is overseas again, trying to explain to the world just why we have a President Elect Donald Trump. You know, he needs to "talk some world leaders off the ledge". I find that fascinating. Trump has not been in office for one second, and Obama is trying to explain how Trump will govern. Well Barack, let me see if I can help on that one.
The country elected Donald Trump because it has been mismanaged for decades. Yes Barack Obama, even (or especially) under you. We have done what Greece has done, only in spades. Promised more that we could deliver, and spent way more than we take in. In short, of all things we have mismanaged, our finances are the worst.
However despite being mismanaged, up until a few years ago, America has always been the world's policeman. We took over where the UN often came up short. And with NATO - President Elect Trump is right. Many of the NATO countries have been "free riders" for decades. Trump wants more equity in NATO with forces provided, as well as monies contributed. The days of the United States being the "sugar daddy" to NATO might be over after January.
My hope is that Donald Trump will tell the same thing to the United Nations. Pay up or shut up. We have been hosed by the United Nations for years. They have no purpose anymore, other than coming up with some goofy crap like Agenda 21.
What is life going to be like in Trump's America? Might be pretty darn good. We should be able to have fair treaties, a strong military, an improving economy, and better finances. And the best part? When our new President travels overseas it will to be to showcase American exceptionalism, not apologize for it.
