Obama Apologizes for Saying Troops' Lives 'Wasted'
ABC news ^ | Feb.13, 2007 | by JAKE TAPPER

Posted on 04/26/2008 4:49:09 PM PDT by Selmore

Obama has twice apologized since implying that U.S. troops had died in vain, telling a rally crowd in Ames, Iowa, on Sunday, "We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should never been waged, and on which we have now spent $400 billion, and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

He's been using his sorry, lame excuses from the outset.

Little wonder given those who have mentored, nutured, and supported him.

ENEMIES TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA



ARE LINED UP BEHIND CANDIDATE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA


I AM THE ONE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR


And, if that is not enough, just ask yourself, why Che Guevara, who was a radical, murderous Marxist revolutionary in Argentina, Cuba, and Bolivia, and who became Fidel Castro's chiefexecutioner...why is his picture proudly diplayed proudly at Obama election Headquarters?



All of this ties together and any American of any stripe who values their individual liberty should study these things out for themselves, throw off the chains of the governmental dole and public largess, of the indoctinration and propoganda dealt out by liberal academia, and then act and vote accordingly.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

IMO, you can’t post stuff such as this too much.

O’Bama is dead wrong on this. The US is patrolling the main oil production region of the world which would otherwise be out of control altogether. It’s expensive, but not doing this would be unbelieveably expensive.

“The US is patrolling the main oil production region of the world which would otherwise be out of control altogether. It’s expensive, but not doing this would be unbelievably expensive.”

Unless, America starts doing what Brazil did...
"becoming independent of foreign oil”...
then we could tell the camel jockeys & tin horn dictators to shove their crude where the sun don't shine...

If we started building more nuclear power plants, clean coal technology and expanding oil production off ALL coasts, ANWR and federal lands; America could be independent of foreign oil within a decade.

We put a man on the moon; the only thing stopping us is our desire and telling the “tree huggers” to “go pound sand!” LOL And even my Liberal relatives are starting to complain about the price of gasoline...so it's not a matter of "if" but "when" we "get off the dime" and start making America " independent of foreign oil."

Have you heard Rush's parody of a phone message you get when you call Obama headquarters, of Obama reeling off press one for this apology, press two for that apology, and so on. It turns out it is Bill Klintoon calling while he is talking to I think Carville nearby, as I recall. It is hilarious.

Yeh, that was a bit of a shock, when I saw the Feb 13 date, and thought, I remember BHO saying that but it sure seems like it was longer ago than 9 or 10 weeks ago. Now I’m reminded it was actually SIXTY weeks ago!

The Federal tax dollars we pay Obama are a waste.

This is great. Of course we want Obama to be the nominee.

We know what he is and we can compete against him in the ballpark of ideas.

Hillary is a snake. She will lie, steal, cheat and do or say anything she can to win.

McCain will rout Obama.
Hillary will steal it from McCain.

Have you noticed this man is always apoligizing for everything he says and does. Either he is a wimp or one bad liar. Which one is it Barry?
