Is this irony or what?
President Barack H. Obama went to the U.N. to announce it is time for the U.S. to stop being smug, arrogant and condescending about its international role, in a preachment he delivered with a tone and manner that could only be described as smug, arrogant, and condescending. He hardly came across as a humble penitent confessing the conclusion of his agonizing soul-searching, especially since the only souls he searched were those of previous occupants of his office. He was content to filet the soul of George W. Bush and serve it up in a bowl of homily grits.
It bothers me some that our President sees in our history a greater source of regret than of pride, but that bother I could shirk with a shrug. What is truly nettlesome is that every word in every sentence in every paragraph in every speech is trite, hackneyed boilerplate Leftism 101 available at a university near you

That is all he knows. Straight from Saul Alynski.

There are going to be a ton of sorry ass countries when, thanks to Zero, America is no longer taking care of the world.
The US military is the greatest human force for peace and freedom the world has ever known.
F ‘em.
Let the semi-civilized ChiComs and new Soviets have their way with them.
