In Laos, Obama Repeatedly Calls Americans 'Lazy'
That site is so full of shit like many Trump supporters

WHAT'S TRUE: President Obama said that when environmental destruction occurs, it's usually because we've been "lazy" and not tried hard enough to find creative solutions; in a pitch for greater engagement between the U.S. and Southeast Asia, Obama said sometimes you can feel lazy when you live in a big country and think you don't have to learn about other people.

WHAT'S FALSE: Obama didn't describe Americans as (or accuse Americans of being) "lazy."
