As far as I know, there is no word in English for the opposite of jingoist. But if there were, its entry in the dictionary would belong next to Barack Obama’s photograph. It seems he can’t set foot on foreign soil without apologizing for this country’s past sins and promising that it will sin no more under his leadership. In doing so, of course, he both disses his own country and praises himself by implication.
He apologized to the Arab Middle East in Cairo. He apologized for American carbon dioxide yesterday at the G-8 summit, managing to imply that it is somehow even more damaging to the environment than other people’s greenhouse gases. He has even apologized to the French for American arrogance and dismissiveness. That’s like some weekend duffer apologizing to Tiger Woods for occasionally playing golf.
If Obama has ever had a good word to say about America or any of this country’s myriad accomplishments (like, oh, leading the liberation France in 1944) and uncountable contributions to the betterment of humankind, I must have missed it.

He really needs to be apologizing to America!
If and when you see any Democrat, ask them if they are as embarrassed of America as Obama. Ask them why it is necessary for us to apologize.
BHO - "The Great Apologizer"
"Elections have consequences."
Would that Obama would be so “sorry” for this country as to leave it.
I think the liberal electorate that put this horrid excuse for a President in the White House should be apologizing to the rest of America and the world for what THEY did.
“As far as I know, there is no word in English for the opposite of jingoist.”
Quisling comes close.
And proves himself a liar, once again, by supporting the communist takeover of Honduras.
apologist = one who speaks or writes in defense of someone or something
Obviously, Obama is not an apologist for the USA.
“If Obama has ever had a good word to say about America”
He never has, and he never will.
“I think the liberal electorate that put this horrid excuse for a President in the White House should be apologizing to the rest of America and the world for what THEY did.”
Now you’re talkin!
Ah, but our plants and trees love our home-brewed CO2.
apologizing for america is zero’s way of reinforcing why he usurped power
