Excellent summation of Obama’s character. In what way do you think Obama sees America's ideals as flawed? Would he agree with America's ideals and which in particular?

I'm apalled that possibly the most arrogant personality to ever appear on the American political scene would feel the need to apologize for American arrogance. This is the same person who dismissed Congressional Republicans with a curt "We won." By rights, we should take that same attitude with europe where, "we won...twice."

I think that he rejects many of the ideals that this country was founded upon, that he rejects the concept of limited government as well as the capitalist system. I’m sure he agrees with the idea that “all men are created equal” and with the idea that all men have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Of course, he doesn’t believe that everyone has the right to life.) But I don’t know if he believes that these rights come from God or if he thinks that they come from the state and, somehow, I suspect it’s the latter.

I think that Obama thinks that American values and institutions are fundamentally flawed because they haven’t solved all of society’s problems or created a perfect society. He thinks that the state can solve all of society’s problems and create a perfect society as long as it is given enough power and is run by the right people. To him the fact that America isn’t perfect yet and hasn’t solved all of its problems is proof that there is something wrong with it when, in reality, the state will never be able to create a perfect society or alleviate human suffering regardless of how big it gets or who’s running it. The problem with liberal fascists like Obama is that their policies will definitely make the federal government bigger and definitely erode our liberties but they won’t be able to solve everybody’s problems or to protect people from the consequences of their actions.

I really don’t know how else to explain the fact that Obama feels so obligated to apologize for the U.S. except that deep down inside, he doesn’t like this country. How else can one explain his willingness to overlook Islam’s bloody, violent history while blaming the U.S. for its lack of sensitivity to Muslims?
