I travel abroad at least 5 times a year and I do get tired of being negatively judged just because I'm an American, but I have to remind myself that we, as a country, deserve negative judgment. Every citizen is not a walking, talking manifestation of their government, but many people will treat us as such because they're so disgusted by our holier-than-thou ethnocentrism.
And for the text in red, are you saying that, because you disagree with Obama's ideology, he is incapable of making ANY correct decisions? Are you frickin' serious? So because he's a democrat, he can do NOTHING right? You, my friend, have just exposed the extent of your one-sided blindness. Congratulations.

Who cares how often and why you travel dude? lol You want to hate on America go right ahead. America thanks you for that. My comment about Obama was tongue-in-cheek, but since you're obviously a big fan of his, your sensitivity level to such comments is what's clearly exposed here. Obama has little to no experience in geopolitics, and is far outside the comfortable surroundings of a "community organizer", and it shows. IMO, showing weakness or thinking that we can simply get N. Korea to do what we want (and what most of the world wants) diplomatically is a joke. And yes, so far Obama's track record for making "correct" decisions for our country gives me a LOT of doubt he'll make the right one in this situation.
