Of course he will!!! Sorry it didn't get there sooner. And he'll probably kow-tow away from the money while avoiding direct eye contact. Oh and for the rest of the world the laugh track continues.

Please provide a single example of President Obama apologizing for America.

I get really tired of lying, right-wing hacks.

It's rather comical actually. They hang on every single word.

You guys, all of these posters who are so out of whack w/their right-wing craziness are all on medication. You can't reason w/crazy, you can just make fun of it.

You guys know we did kill all of their pigs back in the early 80s over some African swine fever virus that was there. Of course, pigs were a big deal to them, food, currency, etc. We were going to rebuild their pig population but that never really worked out. I was there in the late 80s and it was a mess then. We put their leader back in the early 90s, but he later left. That was a mess too.

I have a theory though, and it is rather silly, that the US has to clean up the colonial mess. The countries in Europe who colonized nearly all of what we now call the third world were and are supposedly too weak to do it.

So off we go to every place that still isn't able to self-govern (and some that are, but can't do it the way we want them to). Mix in the natural disasters, like this, and there ya go.

They also burned all their own sugar cane during their revolution and the tragic history of Haiti didn't start in the 80's.

China was unloading aid this morning. Latin American countries are already there. Even The Dominican Republic -- not friends and almost as poor -- has sent aid. Of course the rest of the world is sending aid. Why on earth would you suggest otherwise?

Why insult people who take medication?
