Obama says 'there ain't no country better than America'

Washington, Aug.9 (ANI): President Barack Obama took 'American exceptionalism' to a whole new level, after he suggested that the United States of America was the greatest country on Earth, and every other country would happily 'trade places' with the Western nation.

"...[W]e've still got the best workers in the world. We've got the best entrepreneurs in the world. We've got the best scientists and researchers in the world, the best colleges, and the best universities in the world," Politico quoted Obama, as saying.

While addressing a campaign in Colorado, Obama went on to say that Americans were the 'greatest' on this planet, and that no county could match the United States in any category or field.

"We're still a young nation, and we've got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity, and people want to come here from every corner of the globe," Obama said.

"So no matter what the naysayers tell us, no matter how dark the other side tries to make things look, the fact is there is not another country on earth that would not gladly trade places with the United States of America," he added.

Obama's comments come in stark contrast to the fact that some Muslim countries have a decidedly a negative view of America, the report said.

In a recent Pew survey, disapproval of the United States was above 70 percent in Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan and hit 86 percent in Jordan, it added. (ANI)
