If you didn't get a chance to see it, you should read it. The entire text is online, multiple sources I'm sure. There were alot of things that bothered me in his 54 minute grand stand, but I don't think this is going to get enough play. So, I thought I would give my shiny 2 cents worth of intelligent commentary. This comes straight from his speech and no it is not out of content. His words not mine, read below!!
"For we have learned from recent experience that when a financial system weakens in one country, prosperity is hurt everywhere. When a new flu infects one human being, all are at risk. When one nation pursues a nuclear weapon, the risk of nuclear attack rises for all nations. When violent extremists operate in one stretch of mountains, people are endangered across an ocean.
And when innocents in Bosnia and Darfur are slaughtered, that is a stain on our collective conscience. That is what it means to share this world in the 21st century. That is the responsibility we have to one another as human beings.
This is a difficult responsibility to embrace. For human history has often been a record of nations and tribes subjugating one another to serve their own interests. Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating. Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared."
OK, go back and read it again.
Did you read it again, cool. Sit down now, I want you to be ready for this!!!
People I was wrong, I know, I know, that's why I told you to sit!!! If you fell over, it's your fault.
People this genius doesn't want to turn the Greatest Country on earth into a socialist nation, but I really believe he wants a one world socialist government. I did a paper last year for my US History class. It was on US Foreign Aid. We spend about 8 billion a year in aid to other countries. That's just US Government spending, we as a society spend billions more through different churches and organizations. Ya think it's time we pull back alittle and feed our own first? Any one ever been to the hills in SE KY, TN, or WV? I have, grew up there. I've never been to the inner city of Chicago but I'm sure it is just as bad.
He reminds me of Oprah, let's spend millions to build a school in Africa, but leave 1000's of starving kids in her home town, or what she calls home. He just told the world that we would give Pakistan 7.5 billion to build roads and school, etc..... Last month I picked my daughter up from school. She was limping because she got a splinter in her foot from the play ground equipment (though her shoe). Think we can fix this stuff first???
No that's right, we can't do that. He might look bad in front of his buddies. We wouldn't want that when he runs for president of the world!!!
