Barack Obama should stop apologising for America
Telegraph ^ | June 03, 2009 | Nile Gardiner

Posted on 06/04/2009 5:41:35 AM PDT by RobinMasters

It is time for President Obama to recognise that his strategy is weakening his country and making the United States more vulnerable to attack, says Nile Gardiner.

No leader in American history has gone to greater lengths than Barack Obama to make amends for his own country. From condemnation of American “arrogance” in a speech in Strasbourg to acknowledging U.S. “mistakes” before millions of Muslims on Arab television, Obama has rarely missed an opportunity to apologise for the actions of the American people.

President Obama has elevated the art of national self-loathing to new heights, and seems to delight in prostrating the most powerful nation on the face of the earth before its critics and rivals, especially on foreign soil. The Obama worldview revolves around the central premise that the United States must be humble and “engage” and work with its enemies through the application of “smart power”. There is nothing smart, however, in appeasing rogue states such as North Korea or Iran.

He wants to be the “world’s leader” not POTUS. He will sacrifice this country to do that.

I still think we do not have any terrorist attacks because the Muslims know we are having our own silent terrorist attack by Obama.

"The world today is considerably more dangerous than it was in the days of the Bush Administration, and the Obama White House has nothing to show for its weak-kneed efforts. The brutal truth is that the United States is increasingly viewed as a soft touch by its enemies, increasingly jeered rather than feared. "

Once again, leave it to the foreign press to give an objective assessment of the Apologizer-in-Chief.

I guess the British press did not get the message from the TOTUS’s Baghdad Bob.
What a shame one needs to read papers across the pond to find material criticial of the TOTUS.

Absolutely correct and Muslim's do not respect weakness and will simply see it as an invitation to more attacks. Obama is an idiot who's in way over his head.

This guy nailed it. Why does the American press fail to see the light? The MSM should take a cue from the Brittish press and even the Canadian press. Our media prefers to suppress the truth.

The U.S. is the new World Trade Center and Obama is flying right into it.

It’s to be expected. Muslims hate America.

I saw a CNBC caption on Obama's speech that said something like the muslim world is angry at the West because of "colonialism" (I suppose that includes Israel) and "the Cold War". Did he mention anything at all about radical islam, jihad, the desire to force the entire world to submit to islam? ... I didn't think so.

Misidentification of your enemy is a surefire way to help him hurt you.

First of all, he’s nort apologizing for “the American people.”. If anything, he’s apologizing for the decisions of the American government.

Secondly, I am not ashamed of the decisions made by the previous administration vis-a-vis the War on Terror. There is nothing for which we owe the barbarians or the world an apology.

No surprise that the media keep quiet. They are practically an arm of the Demo party and the administration. I want to start hearing some criticism like this from Republicans. Guys like Gingrich talk about it in speeches but it does not stick. Time for McConnell, Boehner, Steele et al to start hitting on this. Though the elites would just dismiss them as kooks. But it might just rally the base.

"It is time for President Obama to recognise that his strategy is weakening his country"

Actually, I think that's the plan.

Muslims don’t see Israel as a second United States. They see the United States as a second Israel.
