You people at Mediaite need to put down the crack pipes.  I’m not sure where you were looking that you didn’t find Obama’s numerous apologies for previous America actions or policies, but it’s stunning that you didn’t find them because they were plentiful.

Here’s just one that I found with a simple google search.  Maybe Abrams can’t afford google, or sumthin’.

Now John, you apologize.

Why Is Obama Apologizing for America?
Apr 8, 2009 5:05 PM EDT

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2009/04/08/why-is-obama-apologizing-for-america.html

Romney’s right, we’re never going to win the Cold War with this administration’s policies.  Obama needs to stop killing all these terrorists and starting spending more money on battleships so we can stand up to the Soviet Union.

LOL this has to be sarcasm…

The Jester is calling out John King for calling out Mitt Romney for calling out Barack Obama !!

Now that was called for!

Oh, so Obama didn’t make a ‘full throated apology’, which simply means that the Pres didn’t literally say, ‘I apologize’, even though that’s essentially what he did. King is playing semantics while covering Obama’s butt and doing a disservice to actual truth and his audience. 

King ignored the huge Solyndra doc dump tonight to spend a long time on the preacher calling Mormonism a cult .

He is very adversarial to any non liberals and is really not worth watching .

Politifact in reading their rating focused on specific insertions in Romney’s book which cited specific speeches according to politifact that was “pants on fire”. Since i didn’t read the specific speeches I’ll defer to politifact, they got a Pulitzer for their research so they must be doing something right

I personally never thought calling america “arrogant” was some giant cat out of the bag, whether we as a country like it or not the rest of the world didn’t respect us that much for alot of the past decade and we’ve done stuff that is pretty horrific in our past, trying to wipe out the native americans, dropping nuclear bombs that killed thousands of civilians, slavery, just to name a few. 

Now I think, personally, there is a difference between saying we can improve our behavior then saying “we we’re wrong”, one admits liability the other is speaking in generalities, its a fine line but it wasn’t crossed, and since i haven’t found that full text of the Obama speech in 2009, I’m not going to say it was an apology tour and I’m certainly not going to take anything a politician like Mitt Romney or Karl Rove says at face value. Rove’s motivation is to win elections for republicans which by definition means hes not going to be objective because the truth is never as controversial then the spin you can put on things, same for Romney.
More controversy =more press which can=more votes for your side.

Its a fun game to watch but it is a little disturbing if anyone takes what any politician or pundit for that matter says at face value.  

So did ABC, NBC, and ABC.

Or GordonBloyer

King’s a “Hack.” Not a true journo. Sold out.

Obama’s approval rating has hit an all-time low.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

But this is hardly surprising.  Americans are seeing a collapse on the Left — as it abandons policy and persuasion and embraces a mob mentality.   Face it, this Occupy Wall Street movement is turning into a huge mistake for the Left – perhaps the biggest political blunder of the decade.

If the liberal media wants to score points on Mitt Romney, they will need to come up with something better than this.  

The President of Mexico, a country with a horrible
record of abuse to illegal immigrants entering their
country from the south, criticuzes the USA on the
steps of the White House and Obama JUST STANDS THERE!!!

Your right as lying is so commonplace among Romney and the GOP it hardly gets any notice.

He did it on the congressional floor to a standing ovation… Demings..  you have to love em!

Obama doesn’t need to raise a single dime for his 2012 campaign. He has all but Fox News doing his campaigning for him.

Thanks CNN for backing your candidate. :)

The nerve!  I bet if Romney was president, he would have ran over and cold-cocked him right in the face.

One man’s “deferential language, conceding America’s mistakes, flaws and even arrogance”… is another mans “apology”.

And I would rate John King’s assessment a “suck-up”.

Romney is way off base!
Prostrating yourself before world leaders is not apologizing!

Romney is such an utterly empty GOPster.   Embarrassing – like the others.  Another “Christian Patriot.”  Yup!
Nation-killers.

Even if he WAS apologizing for America, why doesn’t anyone on the right acknowledge the many, many, many, many times Obama has praised American idealism and the opportunity of America? He has spoken highly of America so many more times than the instances in which those on the right feel is derision of America. But, if you are a liberal, you don’t see it as derision of America. If you are a conservative, you do.

Gotta love partisanship!

call me crazy, but was that a bow?  Any ring kissing happening?  

I also think it was an apology.  However, do republicans seriously not know the value of a strategic apology?  These apologies created enormous goodwill towards America and a true conservative, of course, thinks that the US does not need the rest of the world.   That would be arrogance.  America has done nothing but benefit from Obama’s willingness to concede error in the acts and attitudes that were generating ill will, in the arab world and amongst arab populations especially but not exclusively.  When that kind of feeling is widespread it is going to be used for political advantage even in countries with US friendly governments.  

Oops, did you even bother to read it?

But he sought to use the mea culpa as leverage to alter European views
of America and secure more troops for the war in Afghanistan.

He then balanced this striking admission with a tough message to Europeans
that blaming America was foolish.

“But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual, but can
also be insidious. Instead of recognising the good that America so often
does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame
America for much of what is bad.

As Nancypollositarysomthinoroter would say

F$ck the rest of the world

He shows his LOVE for America when he wants something.

I don’t have a problem for someone, especially the President, apologizing for the United States’ decision to infect thousands of Guatamaleans with syphilis 

Actually, it’s the smears and mud-slinging from the Left that have become so common that sensible people have started to ignore it.

Mediaite, at what point does the truth enter in…. where?

Did anyone other than the mediaite staffer who did watch, watch ithis show?  CNN has frew to no viewres anymore, and after reading this, it is no wonder.  A network that claims it does straight journalism, then puts out this garbage…it is no wonder no one watches.  Pure trash John, trash.  GIGO

Whats new? King, your not the only one or the first to say conservative are accusing pres. Obama for anything. ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR & CNN are accusing anybody that disagree with pres. Obama racist and unamerican. Go paint something and watch it dry.  

In speaking about how Obama feels at being correctly being branded an apologist, John King moans, “I can tell you firsthand…”

Something lovers would say about each other.

Tell king to remove his kneepads.

Yeah that’s oranges and tangerines right there… you nailed it.  His wife had never been proud to be an American until her husband won the nomination…. He’s flown all over the world and capitulated with every statist pig, and fist bumped all the despots. 

Regardless of your ideology you have to dig really deep and keep your eyes closed really tight to keep propping up this guy.

Now you say something about Bush and we all yawn

I see your kneepads are riding up.

Is that you, lotion man?

 “He has, though, on several occasions…used very deferential language, conceding America’s mistakes, flaws and even arrogance’  -John King.

Mr. King…Conceding mistakes and flaws is the definition of an apology.

Good Gawd…

Who is John King and why does anyone care what he’s lying about.  Obviously he a member in good standing of the presstitutes.  These people ahve a lot at stake.  How long will they be able to keep the lid on fast and Furious?

I’ve called out Romney before about leadership abilities and thinking things through and  not saying anything when the crowd booed a gay soldier, so here I am again! Romney didn’t address the leadership role the president has played: Romney is trying to paint President Obama as weak to combat the leadership Obama has shown as he authorized the taking out of extremist like Osama Bin Ladin as well as authorizin­­­g assistance to the European Union to help remove Moammar Khaddafy while passing the great legislation in last Congress. The president authorized the number two leader of Al Qaeda, Atiyah abd al-Rahman, to be killed on August 22 in Pakistan, a senior U.S. official said. There have been 3 or 4 more high level hits authorized to cut the head off of this scourge to the Middle East! Leadership is the president’­­s! Unmanned drones are used more often to exact retributio­­n for the damages done to our country and service personnel! And the Health Care Act! Republican Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona said Thursday that despite opposition from legislator­s from within her own party, she’s seeking money from the federal government to implement a key part of the health care overhaul she opposes in order to prepare her state in case the law is upheld.

So the “Clinton News Network” goes to bat for one of its own — no surprise there.

Only in right winger-land does the guy who killed Bin Laden get questioned for his patriotism.

It will be a great day when someone who thinks America is the greatest nation on earth occupies the White House again.  January, 2013 can’t come soon enough. 

Barry is a member of Seal Team 6?  Who knew!

Amazing, isn’t it?  The Obama haters should be the ones called called unpatriotic by rooting for the enemy. Sad also. I and  I bet over 95 percent of the population supported W. when he went into Tora Bora to get the real guy responsible for 9-11. They had bin Laden boxed in at Tora Bora and this is confirmed my many speciall  ops and CIA officers that were there. Instead he……….well everyone knows one of the biggest blunders in military history if they admit it or not they know. And I remember Hannity and McCaine making fun of Obama because he thiks he is in Pakistan and will go there to capture or kill bin Laden. And he proved them all of them wrong.

Thank you again, John King, for reminding me of what mindless bull artists you are in defense of Obama. You do nothing to vet this criminal president but you make stuff up against those who oppose him.

The cadets cheered Romney talking about how he would be different than Barry:

This morning, Mitt Romney used his foreign policy address
at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina to criticize what he
called the Obama administration’s “feckless policies of the last three
years.”
“I believe we are an exceptional country with a unique destiny and
role in the world,” Romney said, with an audience of cadets sitting
behind him. “Not exceptional, as the president has derisively said, in
the way that the British think Great Britain is exceptional or the
Greeks think Greece is exceptional. In Barack Obama’s profoundly
mistaken view, there is nothing unique about the United States.”
Romney criticized the president on cutting the defense budget, as
well. “I will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts,” he said.
“I will begin reversing Obama-era cuts to national missile defense and
prioritize the full deployment of a multilayered national ballistic
missile defense system.”
In his closing argument, Romney contrasted his vision of America’s
role in the world with that of Obama. “I will not surrender America’s
role in the world,” he said. “This is very simple. If you do not want
America to be the strongest nation on Earth, I am not your president.
You have that president today.” The cadets applauded.I mean really, who wants to be part of an Army when your Commander in Chief is running around apologizing for your hard work?   I think most soldiers join because they think this is the greatest country on earth.  How are you supposed to serve under someone you don’t think holds that same basic view?  It can’t be easy. 

John King and that new coporitist Eron Burnett on CNN, are acting as the propaganda of the GOP, just not as obvious. Typical plutocrats.. excellent article of Burnett’s past involvement with wall Stree. http://open.salon.com/blog/ramonas_voices/2011/10/05/no_surprise_erin_burnett_doesnt_get_the_wall_street_protesters   

I wonder if Hollyweird will release Obama’s movie next October, “I Spiked The Football?”

This comes of course after Obama admonishes the true heroes not to spike the football, while he has no such restraint.

Michelle, you are so right on everything may I have the pleasure to thank you like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d5Q6BWfDzk&feature=related

It is ridiculous to even bringing the cold war in 2011. The days were we could piss on the world and get away with it are long gone. I believe we should apologize for a lot of crap we have done. Augusto Pinochet in Chili, The Sha in Iran, assassination of Lumumba in the Congo, predator drones killing civilians in collateral damages in the Middle East… the list is fucking long!!! We destabilized so many countries in also every continents.  You know… it is always easy to say we don’t need to apologize when shit happens to other people. If i was in those countries and shit like that happened to me…. I would want more than just an apology. Sometimes i am ashamed to be an American. We are supposed to be the beacon of hope, the good guys… right?  I love my country, but i think the people who run it are assholes!

Pathetic indeed.  But really, what did you expect?

ops…. I just got the sarcasm there hahaha

but I am a hell of alot nicer looking that that guy. and younger too.

i think you mean china ;)

Has anyone seen Romney’s list of foreign policy advisors? It reads like a who’s who of israeli 5th columnist. America is doomed.

Too many religious nuts think Israel is our 51st state, and I’m not talking about American Jews. I’m talking about Conservative Christians.

And in all honesty that was a discusting low blow to say that in front of our future military officers who may be used in foreign affairs. If he was to say that on the campaign trail is one thing. To say it in front of a future servicemen shows you the class Romney has.. And criticize Obama for what? Taking out bin Laden, the terrorist last week and the hundres of others taken out by Obama’s drone program. He was criticized deeply by even Republicans for pulling a stunt like that. I had some respect for that plutocrat. Not anymore. And Mitt has the bio to be a Commander and Chief http://www.nhgazette.com/display/?id=87

yup, the greatest nation on earth when we go into the wrong country, get our guys killed and maimed for life. By a Republican President.

Oh, I know! I couldn’t believe that! The one guy is the one that was the guy that swore by the bible that Saddam had wmd’s and the other guy is a lobbyiest for the private contractors..

Why?

You do know that those “cadets” are not official, right? VIM is a private boarding school college. Some graduates of VMI don’t ever become active officers. People can also get commissions in the military out of many other colleges but they aren’t military officers until they do graduate and become commissioned.
The real military academies are different. They do not allow politicians to “speak to the cadets.” Presidents can address them at graduation time, but not candidates at any time. 

see my comments above. VMI is a private school with a military theme.

You have no idea on Earth what you’re talking about. Solyndra is a small failed business. Now you tell me what Halliburton is.

No, but there was full mouth-on-mouth kissing between Dubya and Abdullah.

Oh dear god, don’t be dense.

If Bush gave the signal, your dimwitted little hide would be calling for his face to be added to Mount Rushmore (could probably get rid of Lincoln, not like the south likes him very much anyway)

And you know what, I’d agree with you (minus the Rushmore thing). Whoever was president at the time should get credit. Just like we give credit for Truman for dropping the A-bomb (even though he didn’t fly the plane himself, you nimrod).

Well yes but them too.

Kneepads?  I don’t get it.  I’m just a simple patriot who supports Mitt Romney.

Still open for business

No no, Ronald Reagan defeated the commies, people say so all the time. It’s Hitler and those Nazis, and Hirohito and the Japs. And even those are just front operations for our first oppressors, the British – we should go after the British monarchy and wipe them off the pages of history. And if you go behind them, they were really bastard children of Vikings who had too many mouths to feed, with the Norman Invasion really meaning “Norske men”, rapists and pillagers the lot of them: from Denmark. That’s right: DENMARK is the true enemy. And they’ve got to be as easy as Grenada to take out now, so LET’S GO.

 I guess we know where CNN and John King stand…

Don’t forget boy wonder has us in 5 WARS!!!

Fact: More Obama stunts here;

Liberal whining is the tendency of liberals to immaturely protest when things don’t go their way.

Do these liberals get anything right? John King should have called out Obama for apologizing.

Oooooooooooooooooo! The bogeyman Halliburton! 
Solyndra sucked down half a billion taxpayer dollars for nothing because an Obama money bundler was behind it, and their funding was ridiculous to begin with, which is why the Bush administration turned it down. They were ready to send another quarter billion when the whole thing fell apart.
Halliburton is a services company (that Dick Cheney USED to run) that is one of three that does that type of supply work in the world, and the others are foreign-held.
IDIOT.

Wow.
Crushing rejoinder, Onne.
Yawn.

Better than going down on other world leaders.
Or waving like a 4 year old in a picture.

Mitt can say whatever he wants, the fact remains that the Baptist are not ready for a Mormon President, they’ll have anyone but a Mormon. 

Hilarious! Barry Soweto killed Bin Laden? Personally? 
Just picture it:
As Bin Laden tries to sneak accross a golf course somewhere in America,
Barry fires one off the tee! Headshot! Down goes Bin Laden! Down goes Bin Laden!
Idiot.

Speaking of dimwits and nimrods, some azzhole just compared Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Bin Laden.  I’ll bet that no one on this Earth loves you or even cares that you are alive, which is why you’re free to be a complete dumbarse.

Fact: huh? What did this guy say?

Fact: Tedderman is still reeling too the whoosh sound passing by!

I think Romney is a nice guy but he’s a feckless politician who will do and say anything to appease his critics. I truly wish there were better candidates in the GOP field. 

Romney or Perry is a choice between and worse.

My sister thinks CNN is the only unbiased news source.  She’s proud that she only watches CNN.  My sister, of course, is an idiot.

“I didn’t see him technically say the word sorry. So he hasn’t apoligised.  Just because he went to Cairo and did a musical number called “The Hardest Word” accompanied by Elton John on piano, it doesn’t make it some kind of “apology tour” or something. You lying racists!

Most elections in this country are between the lesser of two evils.  Sad but true.

Another copy/paste.

Absolutely AMAZING…my brother pulls this crap…send you to a site to backup YOUR lie that Obama ‘apologized’ to ANYBODY and there is no there there!  It’s as if you think people are so STUPID that they can’t read.  This AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM garbage is WHY we are in a world of hurt.  We let our corporations go overseas, we don’t fix our infrastructure, we don’t have GREAT education for our kids, we don’t protect our seniors but SOMEHOW we are the best in the world?  Get out of your stupid bubble.  ACTIONS speak louder than words. 

The sooner the Repubs/TPs know this for fact, the better off our country will be…
John King is absolutely right!   The hateful party of no nothings have blasted this nonsense from day one.
It is all lies.  This is all I have heard from my right wing conservatives “friends.”  Friends!  I don’t know if we are really still friends after all the crap they have been dishing out in their hateful emails, but that is another story.
People. please do your research and set this debate once and for all.
It is NOT TRUE!    

The no nothing party is running scared…big time!
They all know that Pres O has done a masterful job, more than the Bushies ever thought of enacting his foreign policy..After all, it is the repub party who knows all about foreign policy. Right.  N O T.   They just make us all believe they know it all.   Haven’t they drilled this nonsense into our heads all these years!  You betcha they have. They are absolutely furious that O is doing a great job with F.P.  The only way they can fire back is with their hate and lies.   What is this doing to America!    They want to bring down our country’s standings t/o the world.  Given the chance, our country will go back to the dark ages…no more progression for us..we the people! 
It is time to take our stand.   Vote out the repubs!

A B I G  bravo for John King!   Y E S.

Where have you been on this?.   Keep up the good talk,  Show how the repubs lie and hate about our president.  Keep them honest.
You are our voice.   Keep it up Mr. King. 

I think the left is cracking up.  The president can’t give a perfectly Telepromptered speech without a tring of falsehoods.  The left is very up tight because we entire country is seeing the president for what he is – an organizer not a leader.  His vision for the country is European style socialism.  We all know how that is working out. The presstitutes have a lot at stake they backed a man with no experience, who hung around with Marxists, racists, domestic terrorists, and an assortment of other characters bent on the destruction of this country.  This Fast and Furious scandal on top of Solyndra will bring him and his corrupt administration down. 

John King is wrong.  Obama repeatedly apologized for America on more than one foreign tour.

So right no wonder king and CNN have no ratings, they just flat out lie and hope we are idiots and forgot how many times obama apologized. CNN we know you love obama but tell the truth at least.

Sadly, THIS is the reason that Obama may get re-elected (there are so many Kool-Aid drinkers – they don’t give a Rat’s Rear end what the TRUTH is, only that Obama’s got a “D” after his name).

I’m surprised that Kool-Aid hasn’t left a BAD TASTE in your mouths by now…

When you’re TIRED of that bad after-taste, how about a NICE, COOL, Refreshing Iced Tea (Party)?

Obama:  The CHANGE we WARNED YOU ABOUT!

Idiotic statement!  Actually one of the dumbest I ever heard.  Obama has our combat troops or at least most of them out of Iraq. If you remember he voted against going into Iraq when he was a State, Senator. debunked.  Afghanistan, if I recall correctly, we had troops there when he became president. But he did increase the troop level so I’ll give you 1/2 correct on that one. Libya…war? If you want to call that a war that is a U.N. mandated resolution with us assisting NATO and not having one of our troops in Libya and not even one casualty you need to read the definition of war. And he didn’t need the wars powers act to assist  every NATO country including support from the Arab league. Debunked again. The other two I have no idea what you are talking about. In your hatred for Obama you must be having a delusion. 

got it. thanks for the info.

I believe the non-partisan Politifact regarding what Pres. Obama said or didn’t say over the ranting of troll bloggers who are only willing to see the world in red and white.
 
But there is a broader issue afloat here. When I was a child, my parents taught me to apologize, to say “I’m sorry” and mean it when I did something wrong. In fact, the US has a lot to apologize to the world for in the years since 2001.
 
·         We should apologize to the people of Afghanistan for not finishing the job we started when we invaded in 2001, diverting resources to ramp up Bush The Younger’s totally unnecessary and completely illegal war in Iraq, and for ensuring that Afghanistan would still be occupied by foreign powers and run by corrupt local officials ten years later.
·         We should apologize to the people of Iraq for destroying their country in that illegal war, for killing 600,000 of their fellow citizens and for displacing more than 1-million of them from their homes.
·         We should apologize to the more than 8,000 US military personnel killed in the past 10 years, most of them in Iraq.
·         We should apologize to all of the men and women who went off to fight and came back with debilitating and, often, crippling physical problems and mental illnesses.
·         We should apologize to the families of military personnel and National Guard troops for disrupting their lives and the lives of their spouses and children because of Bush’s folly in Iraq.
·         We should apologize to all of the victims of Wall Street greed, avarice and illegal gambling with their pensions, their jobs and their homes, who were destroyed since the 2008 market crash.
·         We should apologize to America for the far right wing and corporate takeover of the Republican Party which has meant that proposed government programs to create jobs is stalled by John Boehner and Eric Cantor for their own political purpose.
·         We should apologise to the 48-million Americans without health insurance, the 50-million living in poverty, the 16-million children in poor families who would go to bed hungry every night if it were not for the government food programs which the GOP wants to cut or kill.
 
Although Pres. Obama never “apologized” about the US actions around the world, as a country we have plenty to apologize for.

Romney is such a weak, shallow individual.  Just another typical GOPster.

I’m..not sure what that has to do with anything but OKAY!

With Obama serving  as the absolute evil….any GOP candidate will suffice.
 

I disagree but it doesn’t matter.
Even a potted plant will beat Obama in 2012.

At least he was man enough to acknowledge the needless damage we did worldwide. Along with the killings of untold thousands of innocents. What right,or even better,reason did we have to destroy the country of Iraq? Or butt in in Pakistan? Afghanistan that we are chasing our tails in while the United States goes broke and the rest of the world is laughing at us as we can’t even take care of our own? 

John King and Bill Maher are two people who have their heads so far up their rectums, they will never see the light of day.  If King doesn’t think Obama’s speeches to the muslims were apologizing for America’s Arrogance, then he must be a Looney Tune Reporter, as most of the Media is, nowdays.  Obama is the Worst President America has ever had and he will be shown the door in 2012.  He and his horribly ugly Skank have acted N*gger Rich on Taxpayer money and it will stop in 2012.  No more money for this Ghetto Trash Family!

GOOD GRIEF!!!!
 

Dear Sir, “In the run-up to the Iraq war, Halliburton was awarded a $7 billion
contract for which ‘unusually’ only Halliburton was allowed to bid” Corbin, Jane (June 10, 2008). “BBC uncovers lost Iraq billions”. BBC. Retrieved January 7, 2011. Such was the artful hand of the Venerable Vice President “Dick”. The same guy who famously said ““Deficits don’t matter”. Suddenly a 0.5 billion failed investment in an economy in turmoils seems like hell all over. Please. Some people have such a sort memory when it comes to their own “mistakes”.
