Speaking as somebody living outside the US - the term "God Bless America" sounds offensive and arrogant.
If there is a god, why would he/she/it treat the US and its people better. Does it deserve better treatment? Are people still equal regardless? Should countries without god's blessing get equal votes in the UN?
I suppose this is just another case though of speeches mean for local political purposes (and audiences) being offensive when shown externally. I guess it happens with all democratic countries in some form.
