“So it is worth reminding ourselves of how lucky we are to be living in the most peaceful, most prosperous, most progressive era in human history,” Obama said in the speech.
“Because the world has never been less violent, healthier, better educated, more tolerant, with more opportunity for more people, and more connected than it is today,” he also said.
Here are excerpts from the president’s speech as transcribed on the White House website:
Obviously, this has been a tough couple of weeks, not just here in the United States but around the world. And that’s being amplified to some degree during political season. So I think maybe it’s worth stepping back for a moment. This is a challenging time--with threats of terrorism, an international order that is buffeted by all different kinds of events, a sense that globalization is leaving too many people behind and expanding inequality within countries, even if we are seeing progress in the aggregate.

Zero is devoid of reality. I suggest that Zero take his rear to any ME hell hole and walk around without his security team to prove how safe it is. Everyone agree? Oh, and he can take Hillary along so they can both prove that Liberalism is a mental disease.

Did anyone remind him that president of the world is a little outside of his job scope? He is president of America and it’s territories.

As a general rule, you take the opposite of what he says, and you’ve got the truth.
