WestVirginiaRebel Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The Hill: President Obama on Friday said social media and the nightly news are partly to blame for the sense that “the world is falling apart.” "I can see why a lot of folks are troubled," Obama told a group of donors gathered at a Democratic National Committee barbecue in Purchase, N.Y. But the president said that current foreign policy crises across the world are not comparable to the challenges the U.S. faced during the Cold War. Acknowledging "the barbarity" of Islamist militants and Russia "reasserting the notion that might means right," Obama, though, dismissed the notion that he was facing unprecedented challenges. “The world’s always been messy ... we’re just noticing now in part because of social media,” he said, according to a White House pool report. “If you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart,” said Obama. The president acknowledged that conflicts in the Middle East posed difficulties, “but it’s been challenging for quite a while,” he said. “We will get through these challenging times just like we have in the past,” Obama added. ________ Everything falls apart, the center does not hold-party on!
