How much do you have in common with these Ukrainian peasants
One of President Obama’s most grating platitudes is the one that says that the world is a community of nations with more in common than that which divides us. Blah-blah-blah.
Chalk up another Obama-ism that the American people aren’t buying. At least that’s what a new Rasmussen Reports poll says:
But just 32% of U.S. voters agree with the idea that the world is a community of nations, more alike than different in outlook and interest. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% disagree and 24% are not sure.
A solid plurality of Democrats (47%) share Obama’s global perspective, but 60% of Republicans and 49% of voters of voters not affiliated with either party don’t think the president’s right.
You really can’t blame the American people for blowing off the President on this one. The concept sounds like it was written by a United Nations bureaucrat in search of a million dollar grant. The words sound noble as well as Nobel, but they’re completely empty. It’s just another case of Obama ignoring – or forgetting – America’s exceptionalism.
What the hell do we have in common with Saudi Arabia other than their oil? With China other than their cheap labor? With Tonga other than, well, we don’t know what the hell we have in common with Tonga? Foreign aid, maybe.

Well we know Obama is a communist and we know Obama encouraged mediocrity…
So why would Obama have a grip on reality?
OK, here’s the plan: kick Obama up to the U.N. where his “glittering generalities” and “useless platitudes” can be soaked up by the community.
Sounds like an excuse to redistribute wealth to poorer nations – wait that has been going on for decades – the result – two bit dictatorships ruled by kleptocrats – wait that sounds like what America is becoming under the Democrats and the neocons in the Republican party.
What is truly sad is the fact that nations ruled by adults – like China and India and Russia – dont think that way. They think solely in terms of what is good for their nation state. So they will keep polluting, dumping goods manufactured by – hey lets call a spade a spade – slave labor – on the US and do whatever they want while the US destroys itself through healthcare for the whole world, Cap and Trade – labor union bs etc etc
Also, what do I as a real American have in common with some third or fourth world Muslim? What does a culture like the one the US once had under Reagan – with an interest in personal rights private property a constitutional limited government – with some theocracy or sub saharan dictatorship?
F you Obama F you.
I can tell you what I have in common with those two ukrainian peasants – A desire for freedom and to give my kids a better life. As the descendent of ukrainians, I’ll tell you right now that I’ll trade all the commies in america (including Barak the Red) for every ukrainian peasant. Give them half a chance ( where they can worry about making a buck and not just surviving the commie rat bastards) and they will build a great nation over there or over here.
Obama feels so under-appreciated at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He may be considering a move to the U.N. where he can rub elbows with the world’s community organizers, aka dictators.
