Why Am I Not Surprised?
President Obama reportedly sat through a 50-minute long anti-American speech (some would say diatribe-as this report from FOX does and I agree) condemning America, without defending her once. Does the fact that he was silent on the matter (not answering questions about it) means he was just being statesman-like, or does it mean he agrees with it?
I think you know how I feel about that. Since he told reporters and officials in Turkey that America "has been arrogant in the past," I'm inclined to think he does. Either that or when he was asked what he thought about the speech from Nicaraguan President, Daniel Ortega and answered "It was 50 minutes long. That's what I thought," he was covertly saying Ortega was a wind-bag. I'd like to think that was true, but I just don't.

Even if he was implying that Ortega was a windbag that's still not enough in my opinion. He should have gotten up and left. Someone who prepared a 50-minute long anti-American speech isn't interested in a healthy debate/discourse on foreign policy. He was just ragging on the US and he did it because he knew Obama would agree. The world knows how Obama thinks. Every time he goes abroad he trashes the US and its people and history, and politely listens to other speakers who do the same.
Agreed. And what was with the "bro handshake" with Chavez? Not only that, he accepted a book from him about how evil America is?
He won't keep a bust of Churchill given to Bush by Blair, but he'll gladly accept America-trashing literature from Chavez?
Hmm. It kind of solidifies our opinion on him being socialist's best friend, doesn' it?
Yes, it certainly does.
