Alienated America

Obama said (in the article you quoted)

Quote:"If we could form a network of those young leaders, not just in the United States, but around the world, then we got something," "if we can train a million Baracks and Michelles who are running around thinking they can change the world" hope is achievable.

(FTR, a quick search of that phrase to find the rest of the speech leads to pages or right wing sites saying how awful that would be.)

I explained why I don't have a problem with what he said.

You are being narrowly focused here so there's no sense trying to reason with you.  This just falls under the old trope that Obama has a huge ego.

I'd rather people emulate someone who is hopeful and tries to help versus the guy who spends his early mornings tweeting insults at the "haters" and "losers".  Maybe you can't see the difference between the two.  I wonder why you compared the two?  Are they "exactly the same"?  Does Trump say we need a million more "Donald and Melanias"?  And why would he say that?

How about the latest one where you, without any connection to the thread, brought up the Obama's?  Then pointed out they he smokes (the horror) so Obama shouldn't say more people should be like them.  Clearly ODS to even mention him in this thread...but to do it with a link to a story on a speech he gave saying he wants more young people to be hopeful and to challenge the old institutions  like he did when he was young just cements that he still lives rent free in your psyche.

Okay.  If you have a problem with a successful man who rose to POTUS while helping others and did it relatively "scandal" free saying "look at me, I did it you can too.  Be like me and go do it" then maybe that says more about who you think people should emulate than it does what Obama said.

"feeble"

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
