Prior to his first election, for anyone wanting to understand what Obama’s election would mean, one only had to look at his early actions and words to understand what was ahead for America and the world. Obama’s background, education and associations are littered with radicalism from attending Socialist meetings while at Columbia University,his association with American haters Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn to refusing to wear an American flag pin or placing his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem. Moreover, Obama’s words further demonstrated his problem with American power. From seeing the Constitution not for its overall greatness in creating the greatest nation to ever exist but instead seeing it as a flawed document and dwelling on this point. Obama further dismissed the belief by Americans and many around the world of American exceptionalism and how this exceptionalism is used to lead the world. As president Mr. Obama, in numerous speeches here and abroad, apologized to the world for American arrogance and dismissiveness and mistreatment to other countries and their people.
