Enemies of Arizona
By Andrew Cline, American Spectator
When he was running for president, Barack Obama presented himself as a man who could restore America's reputation in the world. Since becoming president, though, Obama has given the impression that he is working overtime to tarnish it. Let's grant for the sake of argument that Obama was right and President Bush's cowboy swagger made non-Americans dislike our country.
Even if that were 100 percent true, it doesn't follow that the best way to correct that is to have a president badmouth his own country at every possible opportunity. Speaking in Strasbourg in April of last year, Obama said to the people of Europe, "Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."
The Telegraph of London wrote, "His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country's action while standing on foreign soil."

On top of his great world policies, he can apologize to the American people as well. Recent numbers now show that the Private sector accounts for only 42% of income. The lowest in US history.
