So thanks MobyCat for at least saying that Obama is spot on for stating that we cannot expect other countries to not have the resources we demand and not get pissed off at us. That's not a fair attitude. It's arrogant. And that is why we, as Americans, have a bad reputation in this world. As a society, we are arrogant and believe that with our money we can tell anyone else how they should live. If that means they have to suffer at our expense, too bad. We come first.
Let's get past useless debating about opinions and what not. Let's get to the red meat here.
Obama is not spot on. What countries are mad at us for demanding resources from them? Are these supposed countries not selling those resources on the open market? Are we forcing these so-called countries to only sell to us at lower than market value prices, therefore somehow exploiting these countries?
You say American come first. Can you name any country on earth that doesn't act in their own interests?
Can you name any other country on earth that does more for it's fellow man than the United States of America?
