I find it a bit interesting that everyone seems quite willing to laugh at and forgive (or at the least, quickly forget) the gaffes the politicians in their own country make... But will drag out those made in other countries and treat them as if they are the feelings of the entire nation, and proclamations from the top.

Politicians are people. People make mistakes, have problems and biases, and are individuals. Obviously, the best case scenario is for a politician to only reflect the country they are serving... But we all know that reality is never that simple. Especially when you`re watched by media every time you leave the house.
