I am the first one that  criticizes when necessary and acknowledges positive actions if called for.

This video speech of Obama made in Germany was completely taken out of context and doctored up to discredit him.

The prez has enough strikes against him and many of them justified. That is apparent by his popularity standings. I want to “tell it like it is” and try to keep the record straight.

Listen to the doctored up speech and then read what he actually said.

“Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build.

Throughout human history, societies have grappled with fundamental questions of how to organize themselves, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. And it was here in Europe, through centuries of struggle — through war and Enlightenment, repression and revolution — that a particular set of ideals began to emerge: The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose.”…..

The belief that power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding. And those ideas eventually inspired a band of colonialists across an ocean, and they wrote them into the founding documents that still guide America today, including the simple truth that all men & women are created equal.

But those ideals have also been tested — here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. Often, this alternative vision roots itself in the notion that by virtue of race or faith or ethnicity, some are inherently superior to others, and that individual identity must be defined by “us” versus “them,” or that national greatness must flow not by what a people stand for, but by what they are against.

When if initially listen to the video I could not believe my ears that anyone in Obama’s position could be that ignorant or bold to make a speech like that. I went to Mr. Google to find out the real story.

Let’s support the guy when he is right and tell it like it is when he is wrong. Criticize when necessary and acknowledge positive facts as well.
