Just to be clear, although I am an Obama supporter, I'm not a blind follower. I haven't agreed with everything he's said and/or done. However, the attempt by his detractors to spin this quote is yet another reach in my opinion. As for what you consider a pet peeve, I'm going to keep doing every time I think someone's being unfair and/or hypocritical.<br /><br />As is often the case, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414290528721230538.post-56350643907148829762010-09-24T14:21:11.780-04:002010-09-24T14:21:11.780-04:00Malcolm:

He can make statements of American exceptionalism without invoking the possible future and past deaths of people at the hand of terrorists. At least he should be. <br /><br />Yes, it was insenstive of the Bush administration to do that. Which I said at the time. And by the way, don't point to someone else's bad behavior to justify more bad behavior. It is a huge pet peeve of mine.Just a conservative girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982406297072353275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414290528721230538.post-3651131119212913322010-09-24T12:34:12.827-04:002010-09-24T12:34:12.827-04:00On one hand you say that President Obama's sta...On one hand you say that President Obama's statement promoted American exceptionalism and that he doesn't say these things enough. Then, you say it shouldn't have been said out loud. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't! One thing I hope President Obama has realized after 19 months is that some people on the right will find a way to spin any positive comment he makes into a negative. <br /><br />By the way, do you think George W. Bush was being insensitive to the wartime casualities (military and civilian) and their survivors when he joked about not finding any WMDs?Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414290528721230538.post-15253599654827756182010-09-23T18:26:21.694-04:002010-09-23T18:26:21.694-04:00Malcolm;

It just shouldn't have been said out loud. It is very insenstive to the families of the victims. He doesn't seem to realize how much his words mean.
