Over the last week or so, we’ve seen a common criticism leveled against President Obama that is likely to become a prominent theme of the 2012 elections- the question of President Barack Obama’s hostility towards the notion of American exceptionalism and his eagerness to side with our ideological adversaries rather than our historic allies.
Obama’s anti-American rhetoric and posturing is explicitly being held to account by several of the Republican presidential candidates. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney both questioned Obama’s ‘worldliness,’ during their respective campaign stops in South Florida.
Gingrich got some major press for his remark that, “unlike the President, I study American History.” At today’s campaign stop in Miami, Romney said that, “I think he (Obama) takes his inspiration from the Europeans.”

Michele Bachmann has also hit Obama on this front, explaining that “President Obama has the wrong view of America’s role in the world. When the President goes abroad apologizing for the United States, it is clear that he doesn’t understand America’s essential leadership in the world and the values this country holds dear…It is those values that make our country unique and make us the most powerful force for good on this planet,” Bachmann told the Shark Tank.
Will this be one of the major lines of attack in the upcoming Presidential election?
