Actually, just being the elected president of the U.S. makes his gesture an official representation of the U.S. and as it happens, his opinion is indeed a reflection of millions of Americans, not to mention billions of people around the world
How embarrassing that in the wake of this international moment, Americans would be screaming for censure because their pride was hurt by a humanist gesture.
Actually, Obama is not a law unto himself by virtue of his election and if we think his rogue act has crossed the line, we are perfectly able to use the legislative branch to slap him back down to size. Will of the people and all that. As for the billions around the world part of your comment, Oblahblah was not elected to be president of the world. He was elected to represent the American interests and SERVE our needs. He is very much in need of censure and should in fact be forced to state that his words did not reflect the general sentiment of the people of this nation. Especially, at a time when, we are preparing to honor those who have fallen in battle for this nation.
So, if you find our attitude embarrassing, we find yours to be as despicable as your Comrade-In-Chief's.
