Actually, he said:

I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen - a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

He did not solely refer to himself as a citizen of the world and he specifically referred to himself also as a proud citizen of the US. How is that demeaning to the US or in any way suggestive of disdain for America?
