I am in my 40's and have never had any devisive or derisive feelings toward Europe, but Obama spoke for me and all Americans, saying we have had those feelings. To be fair, he did mention that Europeans (who have rioted in the streets against America) have held anti-American views as well.
I'm no historian, but didn't America help Europe to stop Hitler? Aren't we now "friends" with Germany and Japan (who attacked Pearl Harbor)? I think most Americans would consider a European trip their "vacation of a lifetime", not someplace to ridicule. But there was my president on European soil, making apologies for who I am not sure, and growing closer to a one world governing body than ever before.
