During his train wreck commencement speech at West Point today, President Obama told the grads that he totes believes in American exceptionalism … but let him be clear:
"I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being," says POTUS. But US must not "flout intl norms & the rule of law."

PresObama: What makes us exceptional is not our ability to flout international norms and the rule of law; but willingness to affirm them

Um, OK.
America is the exceptional nation because we affirm international law?

And as far as Obama’s being is concerned …
Factcheck: I don't think every fiber of Obama's being believes in American exceptionalism. A lot of fibers, but not all.

Obama: "I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being." BREAKING: Obama has no fibers to his being.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 28, 2014
He definitely needs more fiber.
That's why it must be fundamentally transformed.. RT @EvanMcSan: Obama: "I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being”
