Barack Obama: 'arrogant US has been dismissive' to allies (Hurl)
Telegraph ^ | April, 3, 3009 | Toby Harnden

President Barack Obama has offered an apology for the Bush era, declaring that America had “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” towards its allies.

President Obama said the US had “failed to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world”.

His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country’s action while standing on foreign soil.

That POS Obama is a sniveling coward.

Reminder to self: Remember those who enabled this travesty and make sure they get their comeuppance.

Maybe Bush will apologize to the people of the United States for leaving such a shambles behind him that the election of a Democrat was inevitable?

Exactly what “leading role” was that, Mr. TOTUS?

Up to now, I really haven’t been ready or willing to accept this. I hate to admit it, but I think you’re spot on. The lunatics are running the insane asylum, and no one is in charge. I do believe with all my heart that it’s time we took our country back — the question is what will it take for the masses to wake up?

Would that be their leading WWI or leading WWII role? Ya know...the ones where WE saved the world?

“Maybe Bush will apologize to the people of the United States for leaving such a shambles behind him that the election of a Democrat was inevitable?”

Another moronic point of view. Taking into account the way the media and Dems hounded Mr. Bush in order to secure their 2008 victory (they came awful close in 04 as well) along with the pitiful excuse for Republican leadership that could not field a viable winner and allowed the left to choose McCain for them, it isn't difficult to see the result that was coming.

Pinning this to Mr. Bush seems to me to be leaving oneself directly in the cross-hairs of the lefts never ending propaganda while letting them do your thinking for you.

Let us analyze the composition of the 53% who voted for this socialist.

Many of them are living on government handouts in different shape or form directly or indirectly. Many of them have been living on absolute Welfare for generations. Many of them wake up everyday and ask what the government can do for them. Many of them are union workers who consider the business owner who give them money so they can live as their mortal enemy. Many of them are stupid young people who never worked in their lives. Few of them are the so called "limousine liberals" the symbol of human hypocrisy and the most dangerous of all liberals.

Here is the good future news. At least 10% of his voters were Republicans or Conservatives who voted for him only for one reasons to spite John McCain, President Bush, and the Republican Party. For certain they did not vote for his socialism, his defeatism, or his left wing liberalism. By now these 10% are horrified with what he did. If they decide to stay home or vote Republican in 2012 then he will lose re-election.

Once a community organizer always a community organizer.

Elections matter, and since conservatism didn’t even show up in 2008 we’re becoming Denmark.

We had a similar “American Apology” tour back in 1992, didn’t we?

Let’s start a pool to see who will be the first U.S. Congress-person to chastise Zero. Senate RINOs don’t count. I can’t wait to read what Ann Coulter has to say about this. It should be priceless.
