US President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned against succumbing to "crude" nationalism in the aftermath of populist shocks in the Brexit referendum and the American vote, and with a wave of European elections looming.

"We are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an ´us´ and a ´them´," Obama said in Athens as he embarked on a farewell trip to Europe.

"We know what happens when Europeans start dividing themselves up...the 20th century was a bloodbath," Obama said, adding that the United States was also painfully aware of how "dangerous" it was to "(divide) ourselves along lines of race or religion or ethnicity."

After 30 years of Bush-Clinton-Obama Interventionism, perhaps some “crude Nationalism” in the mode of Reagan is exactly what this country needs

Haven’t we been told by the world for years that the US ‘needs to fix it’s own problems’ before trying to fix other nations’ problems? Sounds to me like a little nationalism (ie. lets get our own @&$% in order) is needed.

He thinks crude tribalism is A-OK, as log as it is anti-white or anti-American or anti-Israeli.

Obama, why don’t you go on “Dancing With The Stars” to get the attention you so crave?

Start your own talent show, “Kenyan Karaoke”.

So, what does that make me, deplorably crude or crudely deplorable?

New meaning of patriotic=crude.

What a moron.

“We know what happens when Europeans start dividing themselves up...the 20th century was a bloodbath,”

Dumbest a-hole ever. Europe has been divided long before the Roman Empire rose and remained so after it fell.

Boy the cocaine must really be loosening Bama’s lips. Everywhere I look he’s making some crazy claim in the news about how bad the uprising of voting majority is. Exactly what you’d epect to hear that from a drunk or high tyrant who just lost his chokehold on the People....

Gotta watch out for “crude” nationalism. Because “crude” nationalism is “dark.” “Crude” and “dark,” yes sir. That’d what it is.

This from a guy who has frequently been photographed flipping the bird at the camera.

But of course he meant it in a very sophisticated, Martha's Vineyard way.
