THE real climax of President Obama's Spring Apologies Tour wasn't his photo op with our troops in Baghdad or even his "American Guilt" concerts in Western Europe.
While fans in the press cheered wildly at every venue, the real performance came in Turkey. And it was a turkey.
Obama means well. Just as Jimmy Carter, his policy godfather, meant well. But the road to embassy takeovers and strategic humiliation is paved with good intentions -- coupled with distressing naivete.
On every stage, Obama draped Lady Liberty in sackcloth and ashes, drawing plentiful applause but no serious economic or security cooperation in return. Then, in Turkey, he surrendered our national pride, undercut our interests and interfered in matters that aren't his business.
On the latter point: Suppose the European Union president went to Cuba and insisted that the world's sunniest concentration camp should be welcomed into NAFTA? That's the equivalent of what our president did in Ankara on Monday when he declared that he supports Turkey's bid for EU membership.
The Europeans don't want Turkey in their club. Because Turkey isn't a European state, nor is its culture European. And it isn't our business to press Europe to embrace a huge, truculent Muslim country suffering a creeping Islamist coup.

Well, after sitting through “Rev”Wrong’s weekly anti-American Racist diatribes for 20 years, I don’t know why anyone would be surprised...of course, WE all KNEW what was coming and what this clown was all about!All we can do now is hope the Gelding Old Party gets a testicle & spine implant before next year so that they can begin to take back the Senate and/or the House and hope that we still have a country left in 2012 to vote this guy out of office!!!
I still think we will see B. Hussein, give a speech in Tehran.........he brings nothing but ruin in his wake.
