Once again he bashes us in a foreign country. Classic projection. He’s a lazy bum so he complains that we’re lazy bums. Remember that Barbara Walters interview when she asked him what his negatives are? He said he was lazy. Yeah, well we’ve seen that he’d rather play golf than work, we know that. But he can stop pointing a finger, say the people who work hard enough to pay for his freaking $7M dollar vacations.
He’s a jerk and a bully, plain and simple.
Speaking at a town hall held Wednesday in Luang Prabang, Laos, President Barack Obama twice suggested that Americans are “lazy” when it comes to the environment and learning other cultures.
“Usually, if you see the environment destroyed, it’s not because that’s necessary for development,” Obama told the Laotian audience. “It’s usually because we are being lazy, and we’re not being as creative as we could be about how to do it in the smarter, sustainable way.”
Later Obama used similar language when discussing American culture. “I believe that the United States is and can be a force for good in the world,” he said. “But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world.”
“If you are in Laos, you need to know about Thailand and China and Cambodia, because you’re a small country and they’re right next-door and you need to know who they are. If you’re [in] the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people,” he concluded.

Fantasist socialist view of the world. 1) A conference held between China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam will be held in English. 2) China knew its neighbors and built a Great Wall. 3) China was conquered in the 20th century by a country that had to cross a sea. 4) Communist Vietnam would rather be aligned with USA than China.
The USA has a federal government that is supposed to handle most of our interfaces with other countries. Obama saying that every citizen needs to consider other countries in your day to day lives says that the federal gov’t can’t do its job and that there is no border. Answer then is do away with federal gov’t and let average citizen enforce borders.
