This is right out of Jeremiah Wright’s playbook.

I guess he WAS listening these past 20 years.

I am sick of this Bastard in Chief. Hell, I miss Bill Clinton after this clown.

He is working toward an impeachment. If hussein obama continues along this dangerous path, apology and getting in bed with the enemy, I bet the over/under on his presidency will be 7 months. I can pray can't I?

Who cares if we played a role in the overthrow of of their government in the 1953? It happened before many of us, including Obama, were even born. I am rather skeptical if it happened they way Obama said it did though.

In the bigger picture, however, this development doesn’t really surprise me. Libs have an apologetic syndrome. They apologized to Blacks for slavery, to Hawaii for overthrow of their monarchy, to Indians for putting them on reservations, etc... They also have no problem throwing tax payer money to everyone they apologize to. It’s sick.

So, be ready for Obama to open up the treasury to the Iranians.

He said it.

Mosaddeq (ruler prior to Pahlavi) was a strange character, Westernized in some ways but very tied in with the left and with friends on the fanatical Muzzie side, and the British were also very much involved in his removal because he had nationalized some British oil facility and in addition was sort of a loose cannon. (You have to remember that this happened many years ago, under Eisenhower.)

Mosaddegh was a good friend of Moqri, who was a good friend of Khomeni, and the latter two returned to together to Iran from exile in Paris in 1979.

The Shah was actually, compared to their earlier rulers, pretty good; he kept a lid on Islamic extremism, allowed the education of women and in fact was excellent in encouraging the progress of women, and was well on his way to turning Iran into a fairly functional country until a bizarre leftist/Islamist alliance was enabled by Jimmy Carter and attacked him (non-democratically, may I add).

Ahmanutjob demanded this 1953 admission/apology right after Obama was sworn in. It seems he got it...

Not only that, but we overthrew the German government in 1944 ...

Wasn't that particular German government also democratically elected as well?

Since one of the most offensive things a person can do in the Middle East is to pass gas then why doesn’t Obama apologize for every American who has ever done it?

I’ve got a brother and several others in my family that are liberal. They don’t know and they don’t want to know.

So the '53 action by the US is the root of all their troubles, eh?

Hostage taking, etc. all comes from what we did wrong in the first place?

This guy was taught well by Frank Marshall Davis...the world's evils are all a result of the US having done the wrong thing.

"This is the first time I've felt proud of my country" are not just Michelle's feelings...it's how her disgusting husband feels too.

It’s like he sits around the WH late at night, trying to think up new ways to apologize. He had to go back to ‘53 for this one.

While he’s apologizing to the world, the only apologies I want to hear from him are for stealing the election through ACORN, stealing tax payer money for the next several generations, lying to the American people, and running our country into the ground.

Obama also said: "For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is in fact a tumultuous history between us.

He lost me at "my country"...
