Excerpts:
“Our welling has been set back by a historic economic crisis.”
“Our safety is endangered by a broad range of threats.”
“...we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. But I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership.”
“There is no senior partner and junior partner in our relations; there is simply engagement based on mutual respect and common interests and shared values.”
“We joined with our G20 partners to set aside over a trillion dollars for countries going through difficult times, recognizing that we have to provide assistance to those countries that are most vulnerable.”
“We're also committed to combating inequality and creating prosperity from the bottom up.”
“I've asked Congress for $448 million in immediate assistance for those who have been hit hardest by the crisis beyond our borders.”
“The dangers of climate change are part of a broad range of threats to our citizens...”
“...the United States is a friend of every nation...”
“The United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba.”
“The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.”
“the American people have to get some positive reinforcement if they are to be engaged in the efforts to lift other countries out of the poverty that they're experiencing.” (my comment - WTF!!!!!!!!!!!)
“...I pledge to you that the United States will be there as a friend...”

Dont worry, the Japanese are hep. They are even running a story tonight in major Yomiuri news, the upshot is "Obama is a weakling President closely resembling and as bad as Jimmy Carter"

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth after reading that treasonous romp it could have come from the very pulpit of rev Wright and probably did.
For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be an American.
