Hannity manipulates Strasbourg speech to claim ‘Obama attacks America’

Obama’s ‘town-hall’ speech yesterday in Strasbourg before 2,000 French and German students had an immense impact in different ways all around the globe. The White House announced today that NATO is committing to 5,000 more troops in Afghanistan, following Obama’s call for a greater alliance role in that war. A full-scale riot in Strasbourg by anti-military and anti-globalization protesters has led to a violent reaction from thousands of armed riot police, and the situation remains unstable.

But unlike NATO and the anti-military rioters, Sean Hannity didn’t think that Obama’s real speech was spicy enough for his television news broadcast.

Last night, on Fox News’ Hannity, a truncated clip of President Obama’s Strasbourg speech was aired, making it appear that Obama was “blam[ing] America first.” The clip of Obama delivered to the audience by Hannity emphasized America’s failures in global policy in the last eight years. “In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America’s shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” Before airing the video clip, Sean Hannity announced, “And that is our headline this Friday night…Obama attacks America.”
