He told the world how bad we are and how we are going to be better rather than working on making us better.

He did?
When?
Unlike you, I'm in the world (as the world is not America) and I didn't get that message.
What I did see was man trying his best to help the USA internally, and be more measured on the international stage after the cowboy show that was Bush, and having some fairly noble intentions pissed all over by people just because they could.
Barack Obama's Top 10 Apologies: How the President Has Humiliated a Superpower June 2, 2009
By Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. and Morgan Lorraine Roach Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign and National Security Policy
A common theme that runs through President Obama's statements is the idea the United States must atone for its past policies, whether it is America's application of the war against Islamist terrorism or its overall foreign policy. At the core of this message is the concept that the U.S. is a flawed nation that must seek redemption by apologizing for its past "sins."
On several occasions, President Obama has sought to apologize for the actions of his own country when addressing a foreign audience--including seven of the 10 apologies listed below. The President has already apologized for his country to nearly 3 billion people across Europe, the Muslim world, and the Americas.
The Obama Administration's strategy of unconditional engagement with America's enemies combined with a relentless penchant for apology-making is a dangerous recipe for failure. The overall effect of this approach has been to weaken American power on the world stage rather than strengthen it.
President Obama's personal approval ratings across much of the world may be sky high, but that has not translated into greater support for U.S.-led initiatives, such as the NATO mission in Afghanistan, which is heavily dependent on American and British troops. The U.S. is increasingly viewed as a soft touch internationally, which has encouraged rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran to accelerate their nuclear and missile programs.
As President Obama embarks this week on his second major overseas tour, which will take him to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Germany, and France, the world does not need yet another apology from the President. Rather, it is looking for strong and principled leadership from the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. American leadership is not a popularity contest, nor should it be an exercise in self-loathing. Rather, it is about taking tough positions that will be met with hostility in many parts of the globe. Above all, it demands the assertive projection of American power, both to secure the homeland and to protect America's allies.

Obama was just before his time as Jimmy Carter was. My only hope is that he makes use of his ideas effectively as Jimmy Carter did. No Ill will to either...the WORLD and HuMANITY are not ready for their dreams at this time. Their high but blinded ideas ended up causing more distress than needed. Simply dreamers out of time.
I am positive that one day history will look back and acknowledge their idea isms positively, but unfortunately, we all will have passed on. Experts will agree that it was just not humanities time to evolve. We all, every human being on this planet, have to evolve consciously before understanding and trusting any one world order. Truly, are only hope is some outside alien influence forces us to recognize that we are only human and it is a us vs them!

a reply to: DarkvsLight29 You could build a 10000 foot wall around USA and we would be fine. No one in no one out. US is a bread Basket and we do not need the world to have a great life for all.
It is the truth and the government has fleeced us to pay their donors.
