Does having a PRESIDENT who considers himself a "World Citizen" before an American citizen pose problems?

SHouldn't a leader of any nation owe sole allegiance to that nation? If you want to be a "World Citizen" then join the UN.

    It should result in automatic disqualification from the ticket of an y major party.

    Who the hell would vote for someone who renounces his American citizenship in that way?

    Your question is hilarious. You should get on craigslist and start a raves & rants topic with that instead of wasting everyone's time here.

    1.) Which President are you talking about, ours?

    2.) If it were ours: I got new for you: we ARE a member of the U.N. In fact Roosevelt came up with the term U.N. not only that but we are one of the FOUNDING members of the U.N. (1)

    3.) Just because Obama might have called himself a world citizen, doesn't mean he would equally put being a world citizen BEFORE being an American citizen.

    4.) Having only an eye for ones own nation would be politically, economically and militarily negligent, irresponsible and dangerous. We had huge difficulties fighting a few countries 70 years ago that had exactly your perspective.

    It seems to me, that some circuits here were shorted....

    The President has never said he considers himself a world citizen over being an American citizen. Question fail.

    As somebody that has lived by extremely some those activities on the different area of the international it variety of feels that in spite of human beings do all law enforcement officers are going to have their quotes overturned from Rodney King by to Amandou Diallo and now to Sean Bell. It does not look to remember no remember if we could insurrection or petition or carry marches or in spite of. i glance at it extra from a Political attitude as my Brother is extremely energetic in Human Rights & Environmental Activism yet what do you pay attention out the mouths of maximum human beings our a while. those Tree Hugging Hippies and Left Wing Loonies turning out to be havoc. maximum fools have faith what Politicians tell them and what they examine interior the papers and human beings who're rich build their total lives around exploiting others. except you additionally could make human beings supply up their time and take hazards like dropping their properties, jobs etc to combat the combat for Freedom and Equality it quite is in simple terms gonna worsen. CCTV, Patriot Acts, Globalisation and conflict on Terror are in simple terms element of the commencing up of suppression of unfastened Speech. I even see followers in this section hating on artists like Immortal technique by way of fact they call them crackpot conspiracy theorists yet extremely some what they say is authentic and we are too scared to admit maximum persons are pawns to the interest.
