I've lived overseas.... (5.00 / 1) (#64)

Quite near his childhood location, too. Papua New Guinea (on the border with Indonesia), Saudi Arabia, and Australia. There was a huge difference between what we came to understand about the culture in the countries we lived vs. those we simply vacationed in for a few weeks. He shows no understanding of any cultures. But, my favorite of his comments is:

"When Senator Clinton brags 'I've met leaders from eighty countries'--I know what those trips are like! I've been on them. You go from the airport to the embassy. There's a group of children who do native dance..."

You suppose a junior senator gets the same treatment as a First Lady? The trips she made were not the routine, especially not when she traveled with her husband. Obama really talks to us like we are stupid.

Although, the dignity comment...I lost my job in February, it's hard to hold onto dignity after that, but not impossible.
