"It was a mistake. It will never happen again." Obama on Wednesday apologizing for the recent Air Force One flyover debacle
"Well, you know, I think this was a mistake. I think I screwed up..., and we're going to make sure we fix it so it doesn't happen again." Obama in an interview with CNN, admitting he had made a mistake in tapping Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services - Feb. 3, 2009
In another interview with Fox News Obama says about the Daschle appointment: "I consider this a mistake on my part and one that I intend to fix and correct and make sure that we're not screwing up again."
"In retrospect if you had asked me I think we probably wouldn't have done it then and we probably wouldn't do it again." Obama expressing remorse for allowing his daughters to be interviewed on "Access Hollywood" - July 9, 2008
"This is obviously an anomaly, but we have apologized and are going to indeed work to ensure that this situation doesnt happen again" Obama campaign spokesman, Bill Burton after two Muslim women were prohibited from sitting behind the podium at an Obama campaign rally in Detroit, apparently so their headscarves would not appear in photographs with him.
In April of 2008, while touring a textile factory in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Obama called a female employee "sweetie". About a month after that incident, Obama addressed a female reporter from WXYZ News as "sweetie". He eventually left a voicemail message on her answering machine, apologizing to her and promising to "make up for it". There's no indication that he redressed the first woman's grievance, but after his heartfelt apology to the second woman, I'm sure "it will never happen again". - YouTube recording of voicemail apology
More Apologies:
Obama apologizes to Nancy Reagan for seance quip
Obama Apologizes to Special Olympics for Bowling Joke
Regret:
It would have been impossible for Obama to apologize to a deceased woman whose life had been cruelly nabbed away from her. He could only express regret - a strange regret, but regret, nevertheless!: "Obama Regrets Intervening to Save Terri Schiavo's Life!"
Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, lambastes Obama for expressing such morbid regret, and says "I wish I could ask Terri about her biggest regret, because as things turned out Im certain that hers would have been that she was born in an America where life is no longer viewed as precious and worthy of protection." Yep! Were Schiavo still alive today, she probably would have said, "this is the first time in my adult lifetime that I am not proud of my country." Ahem.....
Obviously, if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that." No real apology here, only regret. Obama expresses regret for his bitter, gun-clinging remarks
And, last but not least, several doses of sorriness here. Heh!
Only a historical question...but how many times did Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson apologize (for anything)?
If you are a successful CEO or successful football coach or a successful husband or a successful political figure...you get one or two times that you can really say “sorry”...and then after that...it doesn’t matter...you’re finished.
In his entire career...I don’t think Yankee manager Billy Martin ever said sorry. I don’t think that Henry Ford or Thomas Edison ever said “sorry”. I don’t think any of the investment bankers who allowed their operations to sink earlier this year...have yet to say “sorry”.
You can be sorry...but after a while...it really doesn’t matter.
Your right. The media praises Obama as a man who isn’t afraid to apologize for his mistakes, but Obama can’t keep making one mistake after another, and one apology after another, and expect everyone to ignore his ineptness and admire his contrition.
Obama is relying heavily on his charm and slickness. On the face of it, he is a charming speaker (as long as the teleprompter works right) and is an on the surface seemingly nice guy one WANTS to like, but, mercy me, there’s too much sinister reality there to allow for that.
this fiasco was staged for, they say, a group of left-wing Hollywood contributors.
Black Sunday... Scare Force One
Swine Flu is God's punishment for electing Obama.
Chrissy Matthews says...”Love is never having to say you’re sorry”
The guy cant even talk. People made fun of George Bush’s vocabulary? What the hell is “Screwing up”? For an erudite, polished, worldly wise peoples president, he sure isnt fluent with his English.
The REAL thing:

This AWESOME video was made by a New Yorker who lived through it.
This video has been viewed by millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
It should be required viewing by every American.
The religion of these people commands them to do these things; to KILL so that religion is only for Allah.
These are the people that Obama comes from, protects and promotes.
God help us all.
You can’t take the “thug” out of the thug.
These are the people that Obama comes from, protects and promotes.God help us all
The king of evil controls our fates. He’s brazen and too confident when it comes to our national security. Some how I believe he’s Bin Laden’s muzzie brother in arms. Usurper controls when or if we get attacked. When AF1 buzzed Manhattan that act of terrorism solidified my thoughts. He knows when and where.
I saw that. Here is another alarming piece of news. Going to work. Enjoy
