Pelted, are you ignoring the study of history? And I don’t mean the variety written 30 years after the fact. I mean the kind written contemporaneously when the acts were taken. So many keep insisting the world is going to love America when X or Y happens, regardless of the facts never coming to fruition. When has the election of any American President led to world favor? You think the socialists and communists of Europe loved JFK? Did Clinton’s election lead to more favor for America? Hell no. They liked Clinton, not America. And they only liked Clinton as a foil to Americans. Now that Obama is on the scene, the same will apply to him and just how much love will there be for Clinton? Not much.

The world envies America. That leads to jealousy of America, regardless of our leader. And jealousy ultimately leads to expressions of hate. The only time America is appreciated is when a nation needs to beg for her assistance and even then America will be criticized relentlessly.

I do love the hypocrisy of the legions on the left who so love to lecture America and what our President should not do and should not be. Now, Obama is President-elect of the World (if some of these folks are to be believed) and everything has flipped. My, my, my.
