Obama Says US is the 'World Leader', Do You Think So Too?

The American President said that he is most concerned about defending countries interests and he won’t mind losing popularity in doing so. "But make no mistake, how we're viewed in the world has consequences -- for our national security, for your lives." He clarified that security is the prime attention for him.

The President said that many countries and people saw America as a good partner so they showed the willingness to work with them. He said that this was the reason for many countries to join America in Afghanistan and Libya.  “It's why nations like Australia are welcoming our forces, to stand side-by-side with allies and partners in the South Pacific. It's why Uganda and its African neighbors have welcomed our trainers to help defeat a brutal army that slaughters civilians," Obama pointed.

He further added, "I think of the Japanese man in the disaster zone who, upon seeing our airmen delivering relief, said "I never imagined they could help us so much. I think of the Libyans who protected our airman when he ejected over their town, because they knew America was there to protect them. And -- in a region where we've seen the burning of American flags -- I think of all the Libyans who were waving American flags."
