Obama Warns Americans About Too Much Patriotism — On July 4th Weekend!
The American Mirror ^ | 07/02/17 | Kyle Olson

While most Americans are gathering with family and community this weekend to celebrate the most exceptional country in the history of the world, Mr. Hope and Change is halfway around the world talking doom and gloom — and criticizing his successor.

 

Barack Obama visited Indonesia this weekend, and in a series of appearances, attacked love of country and the policies of Donald Trump.

The Guardian reports:

The former US president said some countries had adopted “an aggressive kind of nationalism” and “increased resentment of minority groups”, in a speech in Indonesia on Saturday that could be seen as a commentary on the US as well as Indonesia.

“It’s been clear for a while that the world is at a crossroads. At an inflection point,” Obama said, telling a Jakarta crowd stories of how much the capital had improved since he lived there as a child.

But he said that increased prosperity had been accompanied by new global problems, adding that as the world confronts issues ranging from inequality to terrorism, some countries – both developed and less developed – had adopted a more aggressive and isolationist stance.

“If we don’t stand up for tolerance and moderation and respect for others, if we begin to doubt ourselves and all that we have accomplished, then much of the progress that we have made will not continue,” he said.

“What we will see is more and more people arguing against democracy, we will see more and more people who are looking to restrict freedom of the press, and we’ll see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions, and religious divisions and more violence,” Obama asserted.

While former presidents rarely criticize their successors at home, Obama took the unusual step of going to a foreign country to do it.

From the other post about this subject I put this:

The oath I took in ‘67 (administered by my Dad who was an O-6) still holds today. Apparently the lyin’ king had his fingers crossed when he took the oath the first time around. The oath means something to a LOT of folks. To others, not so much.

“If we don’t stand up for tolerance and moderation and respect for others

I give him a little credit. It takes balls for a homosexual to say that in a country where they throw homosexuals off of tall buildings.

Tiny little shrivelled up balls, but balls nonetheless.

I told my wife the other day that BHO is up to something. Not sure what yet but we the citizens of this great country have not seen the last of him, he is hell bent on destroying us one way or another. He tried while being President and now as a private citizen he is going around the world trying to do the same thing. No, I am afraid we have not seen or heard the last from this traitor.

Thank God Obama wasn't the leader of the Revolutionaries during our Revolutionary War or we'd still be under British Rule?

It’s way past time for that SOB to leave the stage.

I think FreeRepublic should ban all Obama posts. Eight years of the POS is enough. He’s done. Finished. And this site should be finished with him too.

No more Obama posts!

Well said and thank you for your service.

I guess your Dad was a full bird Colonel unless he was in the Navy which is a Captain.

"What we will see is more and more people arguing against democracy, we will see more and more people who are looking to restrict freedom of the press, and we’ll see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions, and religious divisions and more violence,” [Mister] Obama asserted.

Here Mister Obama complains about the true and undeniable legacy of the alleged presidency of Mister Obama.
