One of the major problems we face these days "what will so and so think" well km_. Do the right thing for the country you represent and to dogs and dandelions with whatever any one else thinks. We can all get along, but we have to want to.

I myself am tired to death of it being our problem. Let some of the others lead for awhile. When will we let the other countries learn what we have. It is never fast enough or good enough. Ob is just living proof of it. You can not hire leadership, nor is it offered in school. You have to earn it.

One more thing, Fran, I hope most Americans have a mind to reason and determine honesty over lies. But I will never follow a leader that is leading us to destruction! God Bless!

Fran stated: It would seem that no matter what President Obama says or does, it will never be good enough for many who write for and follow this organization. What happen to supporting the leader of the United States during difficult times. HONESTY AND SOUND REASONING WOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH!

Fran, this is a man who has said nothing good about America. Who lies through his teeth, even in matters of the security of this country! Who insistently pins skin colors against one skin color. His agenda is clear to be the opposite of what this country has established for all in the world to take on if chosen. How the world perceives us, is total government leadership… we can't control the actions of members of government as the government continues to misrepresent us.

To Fran30096 — I always enjoy comments like yours, they make me laugh out loud.

You ask, "What happened to supporting the leader of the UNited States during difficult times?" You mean just like you and your friends supported George Bush during his difficult times in office?

You say, "Look at how we sabatoged other governments and countries in the name of making money we will never need to live on and what they need to survive and perhaps payoff their debt." You must be thinking about how the evil USA took over all of Europe after WW I and II and about thow we rebuilt these countries through the Marshall Plan after WWII, or about how we took over Japan after we rebuilt it following WWII, or perhaps how we took over Iraq after driving them out of Kuwait. Perhaps you are thinking of all the money the USA made when we forgave all of the war debt of the nations that depended on us during WWII. God only knows how much money we took out of south Korea and Vietnam and how we are controlling those countries today.

America is evil and greedy. Yes, Fran you make an excellent case for your criticisms. You belong to that special class of people that enjoy the freedoms to criticize our country and the countless sacrifices of others that allow you to do this. I do have one question though, have you ever served your country in the military?

I defend your right to say what you like, even though your comments disgust me.

Before discussion about freedom, American leadership, freedom of speech, Heritage should start to read adequate critics from citizens of other countries.

Why you have deleted my comment which shows Russian view on this matter??

It would seem that no matter what President Obama says or does, it will never be good enough for many who write for and follow this organization. What happen to supporting the leader of the United States during difficult times. We have had those times throughout history more recenlty at least for the last six years, they just crest in the last two. Under Presdent Bush we lost the honor of being call the Leader of the Free World. If anyone (American mostly) would do a little research or read about how our country has profited on the backs of groups and countries. Look at how we have sabotaged other govrements and countries in the name of making more money that we will never need to live on and that they need to survive and perhaps pay off their debt. This is not what our founding fathers had in mind. Or is it?

I've known Obama types all of my life! They are the types who say,"If you do not play by my rules, I'll just take all my marbles and go home."

recently obama stated " its what we do that defines us as a people."

Ahh, no Mr. President. Our existence defines us as a people. What WE DO DEFINES US AS AMERICANS!

Mr. President is very reluctant to use the title of this country when it comes to something positive.

Mr. Obama gave himself a strong B+ because he is not through destroying the United States of America. When he finishes he can give himself an A+. We need to stop him NOW!!!!!! Vote him and his cronies OUT!!!!

This article is so right that it is sad. I grew up being proud of the USA. America needs a real leader to whom respect is utmost, rather than being liked, himself, personally. Obama has Reverend Wright in his DNA where America, the all powerful, dropped the bomb on Japan to kill rather than end a war and saves American lives and attacked Iraq to harm their citizens instead of save them from a brutal dictator and sons. I cannot see Obama being a real leader of America in the next 3 years and therefore someone the rest of the world can count on to support in times of strife, beyond a natural disaster. And someone other countries will follow into a war zone. This country needs to hold on to liberty for its own people, equality for all, despite campaign donations, elect a Republican congress in November, to hold onto liberty and tell the MSM to go try and work in Cuba or Venezuela, as they give the one side of the news and tell TV hosts that tea party goers should not be allowed to have their opinion.
