Obama Calls It 'a Cliche' to Say We're 'the Greatest Country on Earth' May 14, 2013 By Craig Bannister

It's "a cliché" to say that America "is the greatest country on Earth," Pres. Obama told a DNC event in New York City on Monday.

"And more than anything, what I will be striving for over the next three and a half years is to see if that spirit that I saw in Boston and West, Texas, if we can institutionalize that, if we can create a framework where everybody is working together and moving this country forward.

"Now, the good news is that if we do that, we've got the best cards of any country on Earth -- and that's the truth. Look, there's no American politician, much less American President, who's not going to say that we're not the greatest country on Earth. So that's a cliché. On the other hand, objectively, when you look at where we are right now, we are poised for a 21st century that is as much the American century as the 20th century was."

Earlier in his remarks, Obama said that Americans all have "the same sense" that their country is the greatest:

What I find even more insidious than the cliche comment is this:

if that spirit that I saw in Boston and West, Texas, if we can institutionalize that, if we can create a framework where everybody is working together and moving this country forward,

In other words, he wants to take the unique, amazing American spirit and "institutionalize" it in a framework working for the "common good" which would, of course, utterly destroy it (which is clearly his intent).

Come on, cut the guy some slack. All he wants is the Workers of the World to Unite in a 5-year Plan to give America a Great Leap Forward into a New Deal that Fundamentally Transform the United States of America.

More likely Barry will spend the next 3.5 years trying to stay out of Leavenworth prison.

This guy pisses me off daily; I just hope this is all of today’s quota!

Same here. In fact, I've honestly had to deal with clinical depression ever since this illigitimate a-hole has usurped the office.

Well, there’s NO question, that under his own “Leadership/Stewardship”, we are rapidly losing our status as
“the greatest nation on Earth”. So he’s right. His hidden message is inextricable with his Agenda: our only way to “move forward” is to ROLL OVER for his Agenda. Once we do that, we’ll be “back on the road” to being the “greatest Nation on
Earth”. Can you BELIEVE what has happened to this country with
this pathetic creature in charge of it?

I reckon Obama is pretty cocky that he has succeeded in his fundamental transformation of America into another third world socialist craphole.

I was looking for the semi-sarcastic John Semmons byline. But alas IT’S REAL!

>>>It’s “a cliché” to say that America “is the greatest country on Earth,” Pres. Obama told a DNC event in New York City on Monday.<<<

And since January 20, 2009 it’s been true.

It used to be an obvious truth. Now it’s just a cliche.

Just impeach the bastard, convict him for his many crimes and send him to prison.

You mean to institutionalize the lock down of a major city? Make it more routine perhaps or even permanent?

It’s factual that Obozo is the biggest traitor this nation has ever had foisted upon the people.

In the future, Obama will be the cliche for Evil Personified.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A cliché or cliche (UK /ˈkliːʃeɪ/ or US /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning, or effect, and even, to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.[1
