Obama to UN: U.S. Must 'Accept Constraints' on Sovereignty in Order to Accomplish UN Goals
2016-09-22
[TheNewAmerican] A Taste: In what is likely his final address to the United Nations General Assembly,
...one can only hope...
President Barack Obama (shown at UN) offered what he described as the "broad strokes" of a "course correction" necessary to achieve "global integration."

In order to "to carry this progress forward," the president said that he is "convinced that in the long run, giving up some freedom of action ... binding ourselves to international rules over the long term -- enhances our security."

Next, although not mentioning Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by name, Obama warned of the dangers of pursuing an Americanist agenda. Speaking of the need for "global integration," Obama warned that "aggressive nationalism" and "a crude populism" -- a vision promoted by the "far right" -- fails to embrace "our common humanity."

"Today, a nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself," the president added, in case it wasn’t crystal clear whose proposals he was attacking.

#17  No Trump, No country.

That's where we're at. That's why I'm so angry at any alleged "R" that pretends they're too "principled" to vote for Trump. The bastards that say that deserve the worst--they no longer believe in this country, and instead are nothing other than *grifters*.

No Trump, No country.

#14  He then crowed that during his administration, the United States has “worked with many nations to curb the excesses of capitalism.”

So where is his offshore account?

#4  His getting the SecGen posting might just be the impetus needed to drop our membership and kick the UN out of the United States.

#3  Sincerely hope that this POS doesn't get the SecGen post; think of the fun the LSM would have w/ Pres Trump while he works to defund the entire UN. New SecGen needs to be some other third worlder potentate.
