Whew! I can’t believe it—I agree with Obama for a change. According to AP, Obama told the UN yesterday that it’s time for world leaders to do more for their own problems and not depend on the US to save their necks.
UNITED NATIONS – President Barack Obama challenged world leaders Wednesday to shoulder more of the globe’s critical burdens, promising a newly cooperative partner in America but sternly warning they can no longer castigate the U.S. as a go-it-alone bully while still demanding it cure all ills.
“Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world’s problems alone,” said Obama in put-up-or-shut-up comments before a packed U.N. General Assembly hall. “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.”
I will be anxiously awaiting the letter from Obama to Muslim countries (such as Saudi Arabia) demanding they take care of Muslim refugees—starting with the Palestinians!
