I completely agree. I cannot believe this thread got so much flags. All it is, is someone saying "I dont like Obama and Im telling everyone about it!"
Now I know the people of this site are smarter than this, come on guys.

Thanks for the link, I can understand why you wouldn't want to post any, people would try to change your perceptions of what he said.
Okay, so he stated that American's have isolated themselves from the rest of the world and by hosting the Olympics it would show that American's are trying to be better team players on the international stage.
You consider that bashing. I would consider that a break from the previous administraions policy of "going it alone" (with Tony Blair)

This is the stuff that is making ATS tougher to read sometimes.
Obvious opinion trolls with no content do not build on or invigorate the community.

Why? because he takes every opportunity he can get to bash on the American people.
Okay, I'll bite,
when has he bashed Americans?
please quote something from a speech or press release that proves he bashs Americans. his words not a FOX new pundit or Rush or Glen Beck

I agree that you can say whatever the hell you want, but at the same time I wonder if it's really Obama that you dislike or if it's the system itself? I don't think McCain would have been any better, just different.
Our politics are totally screwed up in the US (and most likely other countries) and after all: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". I don't think it's a matter of WHO is in office but rather a matter of WHAT the office has become. With all the money floating around there's no way in hell to get anything done morally--that's just the name of the game.

I think we need to consider your claim there in the past tense.
It was once a very refined group. Now it's a shambles with a few people who keep it coherent.
This thread pertains directly to one small section of ATS. Yet is the biggest thing since god knows what. And there is no god, so no one knows....
