'If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people.'

During a townhall meeting in Laos, President Barack Obama called Americans “lazy” multiple times.

For one, Obama said Americans’ reluctance to embrace his favored environmental policies is a sign of laziness.

“Usually when you see the environment destroyed, it’s not because it’s necessary for development,” Obama said. “It’s usually because we’re being lazy and we’re not being as creative as we could be about how to do it in a smarter, more sustainable way.”

He also accused Americans of being isolated and ignorant because the United States is such a big country.

“The United States is and can be a great force for good in the world. But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world,” he said. “If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people.”

This isn’t the first time Obama has insulted Americans abroad. During his visit to Malaysia last November, he said Republicans were helping ISIS.

Another effort to find extra fault with Obama, over mild comments that all sorts of people make all the time.

Right, Left, Conservative, Liberal, you pick the subgroup, EVERYONE has said things like this. People who despise Democrats and American unions, repeatedly proclaim that the reason so many companies hire out work to other countries, is because "American Workers are lazy, and want to be paid to much."

Pretending that Obama is alone in this kind of chatter shows bias against Democrats and against Obama, nothing more. Trying to make something out of nothing.

Had the douche canoe in question, simply been
any "everyday" person, his comments might be
somewhat tolerable.

However, the douche canoe in question,
is the national leader of the people he besmirched.

Obonzo's comments were unbecoming of a leadership
role.

Considering the fact that laziness is only another way of saying unmotivated

It does appear that a lot of Americans are unmotivated to learn about and be considerate of others outside their boarders.

It also appears that a lot of Americans like a lot of the rest of the world are unmotivated to consider they may have some responsibility to what happens to the environment.

A lot of Americans along with a lot of others appear to be hyper sensitive to having their lack of motivation pointed out to them and are more motivated to defend their position than consider other possibilities that would be more beneficial to all concerned.

It seems his attempt to motivate has not been successful.

How would have you attempted to motivate people to be more considerate of others and the environment?
