Obama on Trump's election: We 'have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism'

President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned of a need to "guard" against a rise in nationalism both at home and abroad during a press conference in Greece one week after the election of Donald Trump.

Alongside Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Obama said that "separate and apart from any particular election or movement," that "guard" is a necessity.

"We are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an 'us' and a them,'" he said. "And, I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity, the future of the world, is going to be defined by what we have in common, [not] those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict," he said.

Spoken from a true One Worlder - America is not and has never been a great country! He had to go to Germany to give his first big speech and that was followed by a world-wide apology tour.

GOD I will be overjoyed when the worst President EVER leave on Jan 20, 2017

Hey Obama! Go f@ck up the UN. Your work is done in the US.....

Only problem is we don’t see how you can f@ck up the UN any worse than it already is.

Would somebody explain to this abject failure of a psychologically damaged juvenile that he is about to land on the trash heap of history?

The CTRL-Left was the cause of the WWII and the killing of over 200,000,000. That is what needs to be stopped.

After about 30 years of Interventionism under the Bush-Clinton-Obama regimes, maybe some “Crude nationalism” in the mold of Reagan is what the country needs.

Right. I suppose what he would really want to see is a rise in a crude sort of United-Nations-alism. Now that would be just great wouldn't it?

We are lucky to have survived 8 years with this bozo at the helm of this great country.

And his philosophy of preferential black nationalistic racism is better? He has put the various races in America at each other's throats and he has the temerity to suggest the other side is crude?

This guy is one special cupcake. No wonder liberals are avid voter fraud proponents and open borders advocates. Otherwise they would never, could never, win an election.

Are the Chinese nationalistic? How about the Russians, Mexicans, Japanese, etc.? How about Muslims being religionists? Point made.

When did Nationalism and Nationalist become bad words? I love my nation and the people in it (even the #Triggered ones) and will defend it from the rest of the world if necessary. That’s bad?

Silly peasants. We need to guard against the idea that the federal leviathan should serve you instead of the global elite.

Yeah, the kind that wins world wars and unifies a nation. To globalists, America is a beast that must be controlled.

Obama is talking about the “Rent-a-Riot” he, Soros and Clinton are hiring across the country, right?
