11/23/10	Sarah Palin	Out of Context	Book	America By Heart, pg 69	Barack Obama
	Palin deliberately misquotes Obama in her recent book, "America by Heart." Cropping out context of the statement and using it against him. "They don't believe we have a special message for the world or a special mission to preserve our greatness for the betterment of not just ourselves but all of humanity. Astonishingly, President Obama even said that he believes in American exceptionalism in the same way the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. Which is to say, he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism at all. He seems to think it is just a kind of irrational prejudice in favor of our way of life. To me, that is appalling."

The idea that Obama's grandfather's torture 60 years ago would have triggered a deep-seated hatred of the British just doesn't make a lot of sense.Second, Beck's evidence that Obama hates Britain"

General Petraeus was successful in Iraq. Barack Obama opposed it. Joe Biden attacked it. OK? Here is Barack Obama attacking General Petraeus. [Edited Video Clip] He actually used the term at one point in this, disastrous. He said no good option -- this is after the surge has been successful. Bad or worse in terms of the options available.
