Jesse Watters Says Obama Doesn't Look At Things 'From An American Perspective'

Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday accused former President Barack Obama of “never really looking at things from an American perspective.” (Watch the video below.)

Watters was named Tucker Carlson’s permanent replacement in the channel’s 8 p. m. time slot, but held his usual spot on “The Five” when he criticized Obama’s take on the Titan submersible tragedy.

Obama told CNN that news coverage of the Titan implosion that killed all five aboard dwarfed that of a shipwreck of migrants off Greece that killed hundreds. “In some ways it’s indicative of the degree to which people’s life chances have grown so disparate,” Obama said after noting that “obscene inequality” was threatening democracy.

Watters didn’t mention false far-right claims that Obama was not born in the United States, but he seemed to dance around them.

“When you are a citizen of the world, you always think about the world instead of the United States,” Watters said. “Remember, this is a guy whose father has roots in Africa. This is a guy who spent a lot of his childhood in Southeast Asia … and then spent a lot of time in Hawaii.” He noted that Hawaii, Obama’s place of birth, was the last to earn statehood.

“He’s never really looking at things from an American perspective,” Watters continued. “He’s always speaking to the world. Even when he’s speaking to us, he’s appealing to the world.”

Watters said the intense interest in the submersible stemmed from the Titanic angle, the perceived suspense when those aboard were thought to be running out of oxygen, and the drama’s proximity to the United States.

Whenever the subject of climate change arises, invariable young people will say that scientists must be trusted. Unfortunately, scientists sometimes lie. Maybe they are lazy and simply fabricate research "results;" maybe they have some unspoken pressures to produce certain results; or maybe they simply have a personal bias that they want to support with "research" results.

Research studies are published in journals that are read by other researchers in the field, and others rely on the published research when they design and analyze their own research. Errors or lies in one study can be perpetuated and infect subsequent research, so the validity of data should always be open to scrutiny instead of the question being shouted down.

Here's a current example of apparently completely fabricated research. . . AT HARVARD UNVERSITY!

So, do you think research should be blindly accepted or should it be carefully scrutinized and examined for bias or intentional error?

I’m black and I recently took a trip to Paris with a few of my black friends. I posted a story of us at the top of the Eiffel Tower with the song “Ni**as in Paris” by Jay-Z and Kanye West. One of my Asian followers replied to my story questioning my song choice. I told her that I know she sings the n-word when she’s in the car by herself. She sent the laughing emoji. Then she DMed me 3 hours later saying that she’s upset that I accused her of singing the n-word.
