Watch What Happens Immediately After Obama Emerges From Private Jet... He Never Expected This Barack Obama and his supporters have attempted to portray him as one of the most popular leaders in the world. So it must have been shocking when he landed in Greece this month and didnt get the warm-hearted reception he was expecting. According to reports from RT, more than 5,000 people in the Greek capital of Athens took to the streets to riot as Obama arrived in the debt-ridden nation. According to Greek journalist Aris Chatzistefanou, the people rioted in part because Obama has been unable to tackle Islamic extremists and the Greek debt crisis. While the Greek government is trying to present the visit of Obama as a visit of a peacemaker, thousands of demonstrators came onto the streets to protest US policy in parts of the world from Latin America to the Middle East, Afghanistan and Syria, Chatzistefanou reportedly said. The protesters then burned the American flag in protest of the United States. The government was trying to present to the Greek public that Barack Obama will come and help with the austerity policy that was imposed by the Troika, he continued. International papers called the protesters anarchists, claiming they threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at police who were trying to calm them down. Protests also broke out in other cities through Greece, including Thessaloniki, the countrys second-largest city. Chris Avramidis (@Chris_Avramidis) November 15, 2016
