Minority viewpoint? You all in Europe, still think that you have all the answers. You live in France and pretend to know what is representative of the US? Good Luck! You think because Obama is elected that America supports him? Check his ratings, biggest discrepancy in support in the last 60 years!I hope Europe enjoys him now , because the 56 million who didn't vote for him, and 20 million who did ,won't make the same mistake again! Americans do not like a President who does not stand up for them, but as a European you are used to that! It is not an old fashioned viewpoint! I am not retired, I work for a living and not sit and wait for the Obama government to pay my mortgage or get my welfare check! And ,above all I do not need to be taught manners, by someone who obviously is lacking in them!
