LOL you know you are detached when you defend spidey... Nice. After reading some of your posts in this thread I can see you have stuck your head full into the Kool Aid trough...By being part of the dimocratic party you do live in a fantasy world.
How about a top 10I'm curious to read these apologies. Please link to them.
Jesus Christ, that's language that makes you upset? Do you expect the President to be delusional enough to believe that the United States is and has always been perfect, or just lie about it to other people in order to piss them off more? Or are you so delusional as to believe America hasn't done lots of shitty things to other countries in our history? We've also done plenty of good, but it's absolutely absurd to act like we're perfect and golden and everyone owes us everything.2. Apology to the Muslim World: We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.
You are a pompous ass if you think any of those statements are out of line. No country is perfect, and there are times where we have often not made the best decisions when it comes to our relationships with the rest of the world.How about a top 10
http://blog.heritage.org/2009/06/03/morning-bell-president-obamas-top-ten-apologies/
10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington: There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is Americas strongest currency in the world. Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies.
9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: So dont be discouraged by whats happened in the last few weeks. Dont be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially weve made some mistakes.
8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.
7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament: The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: I dont believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.
5. Apology for the War on Terror: Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. In other words, we went off course.
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that weve made, that youre starting to see some restoration of Americas standing in the world.
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. So Im here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration. The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.
2. Apology to the Muslim World: We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.
1. Apology to France and Europe: Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.
Geez, ProJo; downgrading your already abysmal reputation to Spidey level...LOL at the Democrat fanboiz with their programmed spin on this thread.
Romney's statement was fine. Just what you should expect from an in-tune Presidential candidate.
We all have to remember that the press is absolutely not on Romney's side here. They are still drooling over Obama's Cairo speech, even as the world has turned.
When you see their spin to be about style and not substance, that is our Democrat Party press failing at their jobs. When you see them leveling criticism on Romney for taking the lead on criticizing the piss poor Administration statements, that is just press partisanship rearing its ugly head again.
The criticism that Romney shouldn't make statements as a candidate for the Presidency is simply absurd. He needs to express his positions and can contrast them to the jellyfish government statements without reservation. That the Obama administration walked back its early statements and issued statements saying the same things as Romney did shows that Romney was right first and Obama is following.
Oh yeah, where was Obama as these events were breaking? Raising money for himself in Las Vegas. Too busy to pay attention. Too busy to attend daily security briefs. Too busy to meet with Netanyahu. Real presidential, huh?
The posters that are spinning the same ol' talking points from Media Don't Matters are so far in the bag for Obama that they simply can't distinguish a proper response from a poor one.
I believe the non-apologetic way is to sayJesus Christ, that's language that makes you upset? Do you expect the President to be delusional enough to believe that the United States is and has always been perfect, or just lie about it to other people in order to piss them off more? Or are you so delusional as to believe America hasn't done lots of shitty things to other countries in our history? We've also done plenty of good, but it's absolutely absurd to act like we're perfect and golden and everyone owes us everything.
The argument has shifted from "our dear leader doesn't apologize" to "well of course this is a horrible country and we have a lot to apologize for".
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.
That's diplomacy through words rather than at gunpoint....How about a top 10

Most people that I know IRL who pull the R lever.Also - what kind of mental midget thinks that acknowledging a mistake = apologizing?
Aren't you and the rest of the occupy wall street movement suppose to be at a flag burning right now?That's diplomacy through words rather than at gunpoint....
The Bush doctrine was absolutely horrible and only a very select few even went along with it. You can't invade a country, find out it was bullshit, and continue saying fuck you we are America.
I did not read "America is sorry" anywhere in there. You probably are retarded enough to believe respect comes from kicking the shit out of countries who simply disagree with us rather than actually being humble and building alliances through diplomacy.
News flash dumb ass, America can barely deal with insurgents in a third world country. We don't need to go fucking up even more countries. Thankfully McCain got crushed and a war with Iran, Syria, Russia and probably France was prevented.
This is the statement.
No apology found. A statement about guantanomo's effects was made. An apology would have said, "Sorry about opening guantanamo, please forgive us"How about a top 10

10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington: “There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world. … Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies.”
The CIA never does anything wrong, they are fkin perfect in everything they do! ALL HAIL CIA!9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: “So don’t be discouraged by what’s happened in the last few weeks. Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”
He's saying we've been busy elsewhere (middle east, asia) to prioritize relations with the Americas. So he's sorry about not paying enough attention, but that's reality. It's still that way now.8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: “Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
It's better to just ignore those parts of american history... nothing good happened then.7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament: “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. … Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”
Interesting that the party of values, worship of our freedoms, and adherence to judeo-christian values would criticize this.6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: “I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
Without knowing the context of this speech, how does Iraq NOT fit this?5. Apology for the War on Terror: “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. … In other words, we went off course.”
.... lol how is this even considered an apology?4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: “I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we’ve made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.”
He should have said "You should thank us for the help in starting wars and toppling governments in your region biaches. WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKES SO FK YOU ALL."3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. … So I’m here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration. The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.”
WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKES SO FK YOU ALL. AMERICA FK YEHA!2. Apology to the Muslim World: “We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
Fkin pansies for now wanting to join Poland and the rest of the coalition of the willing to fight a unnecessary war in IRAQ.1. Apology to France and Europe: “Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
Issued prior to the attacks out of the Cairo embassy and not authorized by the administration.This is the statement.
Dont presume you know how I vote or what my political affiliation is.By being part of the dimocratic party you do live in a fantasy world.
