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.
