Note "victim" expression (left), "meanie" expression (right).
Today's Right-wing Outrage™ stems from "Waaahhh, that mean man is saying mean things about our favorite president." Syndrome.
All this nonsense about how Obama is a coward because he has to go to Europe to badmouth Bush is just full on denial. The man ran his campaign, in part, by knocking the previous president's colossal failures and promising a new direction away from the last disastrous eight years.
That is why he won.
In fact, Obama even cut W down at the inauguration, while the petulant one was sitting just a few feet away. That's someone in possession of gigantic Presidential cajones.
adding: I don't really have to talk about how what was actually being said by Obama in Europe was that there are problems of perception that need to be fixed for relations to improve. That is obvious to any honest person who has been exposed to opinions in both Europe and the United States. "Obama the Anti-American" is just another typically phony conservative talking point design to rile up the party faithful. If America is perfection to them why are we subjected to FOX News and their unstable stable of professional complainers? The irony is that every time a conservative opens their mouth to complain about people who criticize aspects of America, they do so by criticizing aspects of America (the coastal states, progressives, Hollywood, hurricane victims, 9/11 widows, gays, people who enjoy drinking lattes etc. etc. - they are all part of the U.S.A.).
Precisely why so many rational people don't waste their time respecting what these cartoon characters have to say.
