US President Barack Obama said on Monday at a trade fair in Hannover, Germany, that this is the most "peaceful and prosperous era in human history."
Obama's comments came during a visit to Germany where he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and called for Europe and NATO to do more to fight the brutal Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization that has sprung up on his watch, committing mass rapes, beheadings, and genocide.
But according to the president, there's never been a better time for the world, and if someone had to choose a time in history to be born, it would be today.
Even while acknowledging there is suffering and tragedy, he nevertheless called this the "most peaceful era in human history," noting on longer life expectancies and better education, and saying it has been decades since the last time major powers warred against each other.
People should take confidence "in our ability to shape our down destiny," he said.
Ironically, data indicates that Obama's hands-off approach has in fact led to more global war deaths. Under Obama - who was "surprised" when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 just after taking office - global war deaths doubled as compared to George W. Bush's presidency.

No joking or hyperbole, this man is truly crazy. No sane person could utter those two sentences in the same breath, same day, same setting...
Why on earth does he think living longer is a positive? He’s done all he could do to make sure all our lives are cut short by his Islamic friends!
What I can’t understand is that half the voters in the US would vote for him again! As a nation are we really this dumb?

It truly is head scratching time, isn’t it? If an example had to be made for having a ~~ahem~~ black man in the WH, couldn’t the ones pulling the strings have found something better? I don’t think any of us deserve this man.
