Obama tried to apologize to Japan over WW2.
Investors ^ | October 12, 2011 | Editorial Board

Leadership: Leaked cables show Japan nixed a presidential apology to Hiroshima and Nagasaki for using nukes to end the overseas contingency operation known as World War II. Will the next president apologize for the current one?

The obsessive need of this president to apologize for American exceptionalism and our defense of freedom continued recently when Barack Obama's State Department (run by Hillary Clinton) contacted the family of al-Qaida propagandist and recruiter Samir Khan to "express its condolences" to his family.

Khan, a right-hand man to Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed along with Awlaki in an airstrike in Yemen on Sept. 30. We apologized for killing a terrorist before he could help kill any more of us.

It's yet another part of the world apology tour that began with Obama taking the oath of office to protect and defend the United States and its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, something he immediately felt sorry for.

One stop on his tour was Prague in August 2009. There he spoke of "America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons," ignoring that before 1945 we lived in such a world and it was neither peaceful nor secure.

Another stop on the tour was in Japan, where Obama in November 2009 bowed to the emperor, something no American president had ever done. It could have been worse if plans to visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima to apologize for winning the war with the atom bombs had come to pass.

As Rush said this morning Rev. Wright spoke of this so he was listening to him.

The Japs wanted nothing to do with this stupid stuff. Sadly, they are now wiser than an American president.

Apparently you don't know about Alger Hiss and his relation to FDR

There is hardly a person on the planet who isn't wiser than the American president. And you can find all of them in those "occupy" protests.

He's not only stupid, he's a A-hole.

Obama tried to apologize to Japan over WW2

...and the JAPANESE told him it was NOT a good idea!

Is there any POSSIBLE way he could become an even larger turd floating in the punch bowl of foreign relations than he already is?

All of SPENDAHOLIC Obama’s behavior is consistent with the behavior of a foreigner, not a native of America.

BTW, does anyone have an image, that you wouldn’t mind posting here, of Obama looking directly at the camera lens during one of his speeches?

Seems to me that he is trying to lie to his audience - - - .

I would not perpendicularly pass over a paved travel way to micturate upon him were I to ascertain that he was rapidly combining with oxygen.

“He is a sleeper cell marxist potus”

Make that a contortionist sleeper cell Marxist potus.

Don’t know anyone who can drag his ass lower and his chin higher - he practically does triple axels with that chin.
