President Obama concluded business in Turkey today and flew off in Air Force One. Before he left, Obama told a group of about 100 international students here in Istanbul that you know, Americans are really not that bad.
“I know that the stereotypes of the United States are out there, and I know that many of them are informed not by direct exchange or dialogue, but by television shows and movies and misinformation,” he said. “Sometimes it suggests that America has become selfish and crass or that we don’t care about the world beyond us. And I’m here to tell you that that’s not the country I know.”
So, wait — National Lampoon’s “European Vacation” isn’t a fair representation of America?? Oh, Obama!
Honey, we’re not normal people. We’re the Griswolds.
