I'm always proud to be an American, and the luckiest day of my life was the day I was born here, and I'm very greatful that my grandparents saw fit to emigrate here, so I could be born here.

I was an “expat” for 15 years, and met many such condescending wankers.

They actually are the reason I am now a Conservative.

What right do THEY have to be proud of us? Did they have a black leader I’m unaware of?

I had to deal with expats when we lived in Germany- they were usually at the head of protest marches after 9-11. I told one that he was the reason that euros hated Americans, but it was ok- I wanted him to stay in Germany. We had enough anti-Americans running around at home....made him mad.

It doesn’t surprise me that these awful people are “proud” of an incompetent boob.

Walter Williams made a brilliant point.

If God said you had to live your life as a poor person, but you got to pick which country live in, where would you decide to go?

Joe, Joe, Joe - they’re expats. They’ve self-selected to live somewhere other than the USA. And that somewhere is France. Why waste your breath?

I’m all for non-whites being President, if they’re qualified, believe in the nation’s principles, and have the nation’s best interest at heart.

Comment seen on another website:

"In 2008 we proved that we're not racists; in 2012 let's prove we're not idiots. Vote Obama out in 2012."

... the Americans who make me most proud are Louis Armstrong and Willie Mays and Elvis Presley and Mae West.

Mae West? Really? Out of all the Americans that ever lived, there aren't any others to round out the top 4?
