(23,736 posts)Obama's 'apology' complex
By Joe Sterling, CNN

The contention that President Obama apologized to other nations for American behavior has been mentioned repeatedly by his critics, including Mitt Romney.
During his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in August, Romney said, "I will begin my presidency with the jobs tour. President Obama began his with an apology tour. America, he said, had dictated to other nations. No, Mr. President America has freed other nations from dictators."
At last week's debate that "President Obama's policies throughout the Middle East began with an apology tour."
Romney made the claim again during the Monday night debate.
"The president began what I have called an apology tour, of going to various nations in the Middle East and criticizing America."

(9,115 posts)about exactly that kind of thing, starting in '09. I remember when Michelle said she was proud of our country, and they spun the statement to 'how dare she say she wasn't proud of the US before?'
They're the fake grievance industry, really good at inventing fake things that they're outraged about, then really good at telling us how upset they are, very good at demanding that normal Americans listen to their fake gripes and whines. Cause they have rights!

(63,220 posts)Trump has know awareness nor standing to make that claim with any authority, and he's only saying it out of subservience to his master.

(39,405 posts)If a president who might act on that statement did the same, those who profit from our foreign policy would act on a much shorter timeline.

But a president is so high visibility, those might not be up to the task.
