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.

Obama has managed to insult the leaders of just about every country that actually matters to us and then throws us under the bus to those that don’t.

The masses will not wake up unless and until they get off the Vicodin, Benzos and Prozac. I had my bout of depression a few years ago, and was prescribed an anti-depressant. It made me fat, lazy and stupid. Best thing I did was discontinue it. I deal with a lot of people who have been addicted to pain killers. Once they get off of them, they can’t believe how they lived life in a fog for so long.

People need to get a grip on themselves, take responsibility for their lives, impose self-discipline and turn to the Lord. I tell my sons that in order to be a well-rounded person, you need to learn a second language, play a musical instrument, play or compete in athletic competition, and study am intellectual subject for its own sake.

Until more people do this, we are screwed.

congratulate ME. When I read this I managed BARELY to NOT destroy my computer.
THIS absolute POS, our President, has got the absolute stupidity to APOLOGIZE to and BEG the world for its forgivness? What in the hell has the American VOTER done??
THIS country, that has shed the blood of its sons TWICE in world wars, in Northern ASIA, in Southern ASIA, and in the MIDDLE EAST, for the sole purpose of freeing and keeping free the downtrodden peoples of the entire world.
He want to EMULATE the peoples who had CAUSED those wars?
GOD help the peoples of the world if the United States of America EVER acted like the countries HE (won’t say it) so admires.
I have to say that I APOLOGIZE, ME, to schoolmates, friends, relatives, children of friends, killed and buried around the world, for the idiocy of this XXXXXX.
Once there was a saying,”The sun NEVER sets on the British Empire”.
When you consider the burial site of American servicemen you could well say, “The sun NEVER sets on the USA.”

President Bush had his shortcomings and failures, and he deserves his share of criticism. However, he should not be the focal point of the problem.

Until conservatives wake up and start fighting back and not pulling their punches like a bunch of pussies, the Republicans will stay out of power, more than likely permanently now that the deck is stacked so heavily against them in so many different ways.

I believe the republic can be declared dead when there is NO CHANCE of reviving it. Though I do believe that the republic is on life support with FUBO playing Michael (the POS) Shiavo, I still have hope that it can be saved. If however the Republicans do not change the face of Congress in 2012 significantly, I too will believe that the republic is lost.

After you save your buddy's ass in a couple of bar fights you lose your appreciation for his pugilistic skills.

As if any President, candidate, or human being is perfect or agreed with all the time...that is a straw man.

The issues are still the same no matter who is Pres or who has Congress.

The problem with Hussein are not his flaws, it is his heart, and where it stands.....imo, its not with America.

The other problem that remains is the MSM/Hollywood/DNC/Academia war room.

THIS is the group that protects him, this is our enemy, this war room has control over our Reps in Congress and our candidates with blackmail (ie PR), intimidation, and the American people, thru their monopoly on information and facts.

With a State-run, Soviet style media and their threats, how can we prevail?

Without Europe’s lead in 1914 and 1939, neither World War I or World War II would have happened. We need to appreciate that.

When the Dixie Chicks and certain American movie stars mouthed off, I had the freedom to boycott their products and none of my hard earned dollars went into their bank accounts.

Unfortunately, I can't boycott Obama the same way cause I can't choose where my tax dollars are spent.

Europe’s leading role? They’d either be speaking German or Russian now if we hadn’t protected their rear ends for the past 60 years.

Was that said today? Yesterday he was pointing an accusative finger at the 'previous administration' for the way the world views us, which he promises to change asap. He made my blood boil to such a point I got horse screaming at the TV. I knew it would be a disaster if he got elected but never ever imagined it would be this bad in such a short time span.

BTW thanks for the map. Gave me chills to see all the tea parties planned.
