It continues....

The Obama campaign slammed the comments.

“It’s hard to tell what is more outrageous — Representative Davis’ condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America,” said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman.

Davis and his office did not dispute the accuracy of the quote. In his letter to Obama, Davis, a former Army ranger first elected to Congress in 2004, wrote that he “used a poor choice of words when discussing the national security positions of the Presidential candidates.”

“My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or the your integrity,” Davis wrote. “I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness.”

According to a Davis spokesman, Davis hand-delivered the letter to Obama’s Senate office after returning to Washington on Monday.

Nice job, Davis. Put the spotlight on yourself. IDIOT!

When your enemy is destroying himself, get the hell out of the way.

With the Revrum Wrong and all of the other racist BLT and comments, I couldn’t care less what the Congressman said. I’m sick and tired of backing up every time a black person squeals about racism. It is they who have cultivated an industry around fake harm and injury.

what happened to the non-apology apology: “I regret if anyone was offended?” or “I regret if my remarks offended anyone.” This is an actual apology.

“My poor choice of words is regrettable..”

In other words, Davis “misspoke” and didn’t say it “as well as he should have.”

The Obama camp wants forgiveness for O’s blunder, let’s see them give an example of the behavior they themselves demand from others.

I’d say it wasn’t absurd at all to question whether Obama would defend this country.

I’m sure that I’ve heard him take the position that he wouldn’t use nuclear weapons in any case.

When it comes to political experience, Hussein still IS a boy.
