My antipathy to the rest of the world is probably in stark contrast to Obama. Mostly, I'm sick and tired of folks like you continuing to want to spend hard earned American dollars on everyone but Americans. So we've made life better for Iraqis at the cost of misery for millions of Americans. Who gives a shit about Iraqis? I care about the 4,300 dead kids we sent to Iraq and the trillion dollars we've wasted over there. Right now the rest of the world has their hand out to the US, telling us we should shoulder the bulk of the burden of the global recovery. Well, I say to the hell with them. It's about time that the rest of the world start shouldering their share of the burden for EVERYTHING including their own protection and their own recoveries. We're bankrupt. We're not rich anymore. It's time we start acting like the bankrupt country we are. And the first thing that needs to go is all the handouts to other countries. Global trade, yes. US welfare to other countries, no.
