Lightbulb Video of CIC calling US arrogant, dismissive and derisive

This Mike Huckabee video interview of Steve Forbes was pulled from the YouTube site and I so far have not been able to locate it even on Fox News where it was recorded first.


A transcript of Charles Krauthammer's commentary:


CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST:

Where does one begin? Obama says in America there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Maybe that's because when there was a civil war in Europe's doorstep in the Balkans and genocide it didn't lift a finger until America led. Maybe it's because there was an invasion in Kuwait it didn't lift a finger until America led. Maybe it's because with America spending over half a trillion a year keeping over the sea lanes and defending the world, Europe is spending pennies on defense. It's hard to appreciate an entity's leading role in the world when it's been sucking on your tit for 60 years as Europe has with regard to the United States, parasitically.

BAIER: Was that a Charles Grassley reference or just a Charles Krauthammer?

(LAUGHTER)

KRAUTHAMMER: It was a turn of phrase which I am sure I will regret.

(LAUGHTER)

And then he goes on and calls America arrogant, dismissive, and derisive regarding Europe. The London Telegraph, a correspondent in Strasburg, said this was the most critical remarks he had ever seen a president give on foreign soil, and I think he's right.

When Kennedy arrived in Paris, he did not attack Eisenhower and the United States. When Obama's elected president, he is president of all of the United States, including Americans who opposed him, and he owns American history, including a past he may not have wanted to engage in. I think what he did is, in order to gain the adoration of the crowd, he denigrated his country in a way that I think is disgraceful.

My question. Does any one of us ever remember the President of the United States, the Commander In Chief of our Armed Forces making such derogatory remarks about us? Yes US. We the people.

"Mabe Jimma Carter, but probably not while he was president. We`re in some deep do-do." ~Griz~

Yes we are. Chapter and verse could be expounded on but I'll just stick to the subject and event at hand. Where is the President's sense of history? He speaks of our arrogant, dismissive and derisive behavior. This should never be. A President of these United States, standing on ground that has received the blood of our sons, shed in the cause of freedom, for the very people listening to him, as he offers up his negative critique on who we are as a nation. I do not exaggerate when I say this mindset is breaking my heart. May we never forget.

WWII
