It's one thing for people in other countries to have an opinion about our foreign policy because that affects them too, but they don't know all the ins and outs of our domestic issues. I don't care how much one might read about other countries and their way of life, it's quite a different thing to be in the middle of it and experience it first hand.
I'm not saying people in foreign countries should shut up, I just think they should always keep in mind that there is a lot that they don't know about the situation.
And one more thing, I agree that a lot of DUers stand for things they should deplore just because they think that it hurts the President for them to do otherwise. Do they have any real principles or do they just stand for whatever is the most expedient? When I see people doing that time after time, I tune out everything else they say because I've lost respect for them. I'm sure plenty of others do the same.
So to all these people who always stand with Obama and the Democratic Party, right or wrong, I'll just say that their strategy isn't working. In fact, it's having the opposite effect.
