What do you think about Obama's remarks in France?

He did the same thing about people in Pennsylvania and Ohio with his "clinging to their faith and guns" remark in San Francisco. The Dixie Chicks did the same thing in England with their "embarred to that Bush is from Texas" remark. My thinking is that if you're going to bash me don't go half a country or world away, be man enough to do it to my face or at least in my own front yard. Remarks such as these are either made from lack of character or from a supreme manipulative personality. In either event it displays a weakness and really doesn't matter if the content of the remarks were accurate, i.e., it isn't what was said, but where it was said.
