So says a Brit. Strange that an American, a US American couldn't say the same thing and make the front page. Ahhh, but...

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.
As has been stated before, when will the US citizenry recognize Barack Obama for what he is, a narcissist?
Frankly, I do not care for his apologizing for me, for my country, for the country which has, and who continues to give more and more, and yet even more to the world at large. I can hardly wait to read/hear of his apologist attitude in Cairo. Pfffffffffffffffffft!
is the the 1 millionth thread of the right wing's made up Obama's apology tour?
No, only the fourth or fifth ...it just seems like the millionth meaningless, boring, trite, shallow, pouty, "Obama is Bad But We Can't Find A Good Reason We Think So." thread from the repubs.

I only know of these that could remotely be construed as apologies:
"We sometimes make mistakes. We are not perfect."
"And so what I told him is start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating -- in the past on some of these issues --and we don't always know all the factors that are involved. So let's listen. He's going to be speaking to all the major parties involved. And he will then report back to me. From there we will formulate a specific response."
Personally, I sometimes apologize even if I don't think I'm wrong just to keep the peace within my family. And none of them have nukes.
Isn't that called being spineless? Seems to me that is exactly what he have been doing for quite a long time and things don't seem to be turning out to well.
