Stop Apologizing, Obama

April 7, 2009 RSS Feed Print

Does the president know a) that leverage at European banks was far higher than at American banks, b) that Europe also had a property bubble, c) that Europe has terrible long-run financial problems related to its demographics, 4) that Europe has been able to build a massive (though now unsustainable) welfare state, in part, because it skimped on defense spending thanks to the American defense umbrella. I think these things are worth pointing out.

I wonder do you think when this Hostage Negotiation with the ships captain off of the coast of Somalia ends do you think he will apologize for that too. I mean if I follow our fearless leader's reasoning why definitely caused this and we should apologize and obviously send more of our hard earned tax money. It's only fair, them poor Palestinian terrorists launch missles against another country, we should help. LOL

El Presidente, why don't you quit bowing before a foreign leader, acting like you are ready to sign the deed to the United states over to any Tom that couldn't give a rat's behind about us. Stand up for America, and bring about the change you promised to bring.

Don from Pa, please tell me that you expect the president to apologize for slavery. That is a joke. You need to get real, the emancipation was signed over a hundred years ago. The civil rights movement happened almost 50 years ago. There is a reason why you are down, your government helps keep you there! The do this in the form of free medical care, food stamps, rent payments, etc. They destroy the desire to prosper for your own benefit. Think about it!

Why is it that American Presidents can apologize to every other nationality except for African Americans and provide all types of federally funded programs to get other nationalities on their feet in this country? Is it that if an Ameriacn President does this it will open the door for TRUE RESTORATION for African Americans that they could really count on and really get the assistance they are truly entitled to. I challenge the President of the United States to apologize for the 400 years of slavery in this country and the systematic destruction of African Americans to turn on one another because of skin color and internal status of the culture in field slaves and house slaves and then interacial sex among men and women to keep the hate going on even to this day. I served this country in the military and it really makes me ILL to see that we as a country DO NOT TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN.I am talking about people actually born and raised in this country, pay taxes etc. every time I read about the adminstration, every other foreign national can get all type of aid and assistance and if you were born here and fall on hard times then it appears to be WELL TO BAD.Our President is apologizing for everything else, why not these subjects. Do this on national and world television and then I would feel you are true for CHANGE in America. Stop with all of the smoking mirrors of hope and change when that is not your true intention. To be a leader you can not win respect by trying to please every country in the world. Do not disarm our country in the hopes that the other superpowers/nations will do the same. Get your head out of the sand.Time will tell how effective you are in helping the American people or destroying the American people. Please read your history on past civilizations and their rise and fall because it appears you are out of touch with the past as you are trying to lead the country into the future. Think before you open your mouth because you are not really in touch with people as you think you are and you only say the things you know people want to hear but it will come a time when those people will open their eyes and see you for who you are. God Speed to you sir.

Obama is revealing the many chips that he has on his shoulders. He just can't resist taking swipes at his own country and his predecessors. His arrogance, measured or a scale of 1-10, is probably a 12, and he his moralizing reminds me of Jimmy Carter on speed.

I really fear for the country. Obama is revealing quite quickly that he is ill-prepared for this job.
