The President of the United States does not believe in American Exceptionalism, or sovereignty.
The following proves that he opposes it for other nations, as well.
1. The term sovereignty was rarely used before the 17th century, the time that people first came to think of representative assemblies as legislatures, reflecting the modern emphasis on law as an act of governing, i.e. government by consent.
a. This was also the time when professional armies came into being, serving distinct governments, and a seriousness about defense.
b. And during this period, discussions began about international law, the relations of sovereign nations. In fact, the Declaration of Independence refers to such a law, in its first sentence: necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station thus assuming that nations, like individuals, have rights.
Jeremy Rabkin, professor of law, George Mason School of Law, June 5, 2009
2. For Obama, and for Progressives, there are no unalienable rights, only those granted by government. If ' nations ...have rights,' one must ask from what source? For Leftists of any stripe, it is a necessity to remove those rights.
a. Since the dawn of politics, men have envisioned some global authority that would bring peace and harmony .Utopia. During the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant argued in favor of a united power and law-governed decisions of a united will to create perpetual peace.
Cosmopolitan citizenship and postmodernity
b. Global governance, the idea of all humankind united under one common political authority, has not existed so far in human history. This is not to say that it hasnt been debated, called for, fought for and as recently as the 20th century, the usual method of the Left, enforced on large swaths of the planet .called communism. And 100 million deaths.
Fonte, "Sovereignty or Submission."
3. The next attempt was the European Union. One can see that it is possible to lose sovereignty quickly. Consider the European Union. It began in 1957 when six countries signed a treaty agreeing that they would cooperate on certain economic matters. They established the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg to interpret disputes about the treaty.
a. In the 1960s the Court decreed that if acts of national parliaments acts came into conflict with the treaty, the treaty would take precedence!
b. In the 1970s the Court stated that it had precedence over national constitutions!
c. Today, whatever regulations are cranked out by the bureaucrats at the European Commission supersede both parliamentary statutes and national constitutions. This includes any questions about basic rights.
Rabkin, Op. Cit.
4. But sometimes, the people demand a return to sovereignty: "Twenty Conservative MPs today step up pressure on David Cameron to hold an EU referendum before the next general election.... Mr Cameron has so far pledged only to renegotiate Britain's relationship with Europe and then hold an in-out referendum on the new deal by 2017 − meaning todays expression of support for a new plan puts him under pressure to fast-track a referendum, risking a Coalition split with the Liberal Democrats." Twenty Tory MPs demand Europe referendum bill - Telegraph
5. Now....watch the response of petty tyrant Obama to this shocking demand for liberty:
a. " So much scandal is swirling around President Obama that it was hard to spot what must be the biggest strategic error of the week his warning to Prime Minister Cameron that if Britain leaves the European Union it could lose clout in Washington. London Financial Times: Obama warns Cameron that Britain would lose influence in the US if it pulls out of EU.
b.... thats an intervention by Mr. Obama into Britains domestic political situation, where a fast-growing political party is challenging Mr. Camerons government over the issue of Europe.... So when did it become American policy to set itself against the British voters?" Obamas British Blunder - The New York Sun
One more blunder by Obama in an ever-growing string of foreign policy missteps.
Compare this one to ignoring the pleas of the opposition to the Iranian election. Did Obama ignore plea for help from Iranian opposition in 2009? « Hot Air
This President is oblivious to people's demands for liberty and freedom.
One more of the dreams from his socialist father.
Will the public understand that they've placed their fate in the hands of one who doesn't understand American values??
