WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America's human rights record is less than perfect while stressing that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.

In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination. Despite progress in reforming past unfair policies and practices, the report said "work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all."

How did Saudi Arabia do on basic human rights like a freedom of religion?

So how many billions do we spend to attain perfection?

We should get down on our KNEES, down on our KNEES, I tell you, down on our KNEES before Libya, Somalia and Iran and APOLOGIZE for our poor human rights record as a nation.

Nevermind. Obama will do it for us.

Obummer needs to learn to keep his friggin mouth shut about America....he will be gone in just over 2 years and he is not the be all and end all....

he needs to speak for himself...and STFU when speaking about the USA.

[Islander7]

....State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination....

Must be talking about Christians, conservatives and the employed.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Why is the US still in the UN?

Now we have Obamolf pandering to the Unpunished Nazis. The UN just protects dictators and Islamic Terrorists

[Carling]

the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination

And all whites are discriminated against, legally, by the use of racial quotas. Did that make the report?

[SunkenCiv]

So, how’s the United Nations’ human rights record? Zero’s just an a-hole. Thanks NormsRevenge.
