Please provide me some examples where I've accused Obama of delivering a "hate speech", unless you're lumping me to be on the "right"...which, in that case, you know what happens when you a$$ume.

Could you please post an example of the president apologizing to the world?

I see this meme repeated ad nauseum, but there are no cases I've been able to find of a presidential apology. A google search yields LOTS of biased political opinion pieces loudly claiming the apologies, but no substantive evidence of an apology.
1) when he recenlty sent the republicans to the back seat

2) The President's Apology Tour - WSJ.com

This thread (and other similar threads about Obama and the Right) give a revealing glimpse into how screwed-up the society of the self-proclaimed world's greatest nation is. And this is what other nations should emulate?
America is hollow.
Americans are superficial, anti-intellectual, gullible chumps with violent tendencies. But they believe themselves to be the crowning glory of the human race.

Some of the posts are disappointing. But they aren't representative of all of America. And it's the ideals we espouse that are our crowning glory. We the people are flawed and imperfect. We say terrible things, we do terrible things. But we aspire to be better.

I'm an optimist, I believe that we can be defined by our aspirations.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia on June 13th 2008.

** Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”

** Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”

** Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Punch Back Twice As Hard”

** Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose a** to kick.“

** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”

** Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”

** Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”

** Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

** “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

** "Punish your enemies." Obama to Latino supporters.

Not the most violent stuff out there, but as president, he should not be speaking this way to people he is under oath to protect. This is no worse than a bullseye or a target on a map.

Again - any rhetoric is free speech and should not be regulated.

A lot of your quotes are excerpts from campaigns, and campaigns are contests, so the "fight" metaphors in my opinion are not completely inappropriate. Also, as campaign comments, they do not apply to the President's leadership, only comments after he became President would apply. But that's my opinion, I respect yours as well.

And hopefully, we can all look to the future, and try to be better about the words we choose to speak, and about how we look at the people who we disagree with, not as enemies, but simply as people that we are trying to persuade.

Awesome post.

Guess you proved your point.

He is the leader of the party of hate.

They kinda forgot just how hateful and arrogant their failed leader really is.

New word for him should be troublemaker.

We know who the enemy of America is and you know who their leader is. We just saw him do another "Hey it's me again" photo op.
