Moscow/Washington, September 12, Interfax - Russian President Vladimir Putin considers dangerous U.S. President Barack Obama's conviction that the U.S. nation is exceptional in some way.
"I carefully studied [Obama's] address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is 'what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional'. It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation," Putin said in an article published in the Wednesday issue of The New York Times.
"There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal," Putin said.
At the same time, Putin acknowledged that his "working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust," which the Russian leader says he appreciates.
The not so slouchy bored schoolboy is schooling the man-child.
Obama is America’s pet rock.
American’s bought a pet rock because it seemed so cool at the time.
Putin is letting everyone know only an idiot would buy a pet rock.
How did the US become a great nation? Is it only past tense?
Guess we will see.
Remember, in the beginning it was a minority that fought for our freedom from England. They paid a dear price for it too.
It was a small number of people in Texas who fought Santa Anna's army. And an even smaller number who defeated him.
Did they do this by their exceptional-ism? Or by the grace of God.
Lets never remember who is actually in control.
Putin is treating Obama like a dog he rescued from a shelter and is now in the process of training.
Because we(most of us) care more about professional “Sport” scores than future of our own kids.
“Do smart phones make dumb kids?”
The government of America- under Obama is a communist and full of Eugenics.
The concept of America is still great. It is God’s design and very good. We are a REPUBLIC- rights for the individual.
Obama is using social engineering to form us into a collective borg- a democracy where groups have power.
That is what Common Core is about. Taking power away from citizens- giving it to whatever group pleases him.
We ARE a blessed country.
Many times the Lord’s blessing is something that crushes us and takes us to our knees(but doesn’t kill us), so we can rebuild.
It is very Biblical. Victories on the battlefield always happen with small groups
So, friend, what are YOU doing today to push back on the people who have stolen our exceptional system?
We have to get it together. Wake up. Look at what has happened to us.
He hates the United States of America.
Vlad, the US citizens are exceptional. Obama is NOT.
*******
Well said. Obama does not speake for Americans.
Total Exposure of Benghazi will totally destroy Obozo.

If you knew the number of "bad boy" lists I was on, you would have your answer.
I do not state that from paranoia but from the number of times that I am targeted on the web for stating my opinions. The flack is always the heaviest when directly over the target.
Locally, I am know for what I am.
:) Excellent. So now- we have to go out and stir up some more people. That is how Paul Revere did it, right?
From Putin's point of view, the US is a homo-promo paradise, while Russia still has some standards. The only success enjoyed the USA is the result of God's grace. It appears God has given this country up to depravity.
Sam Houston “chose the moment” correctly.
We need to do the same.
I can’t believe that so many conservatives are siding with Putin. Let’s not forget he’s a socialist dictator, with an awful human rights record, who despises the United States regardless of who the president is, Democrat or Republican. Russia is trying to regain it’s status as a world superpower, so Putin will say anything and will prop any dictator to undermine the United States. Right now, you all sound like a bunch of traitors. Shame on you!
Are you talking about putin or the marxist monkey with a grenade?
