President Apologizes to Europe
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 4 April 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 04/04/2009 10:15:03 PM PDT by John Semmens

A contrite President Barack Obama apologized to Europeans for what he called “a history of American arrogance.”

“I am told by my advisors that the United States’ Army twice invaded the European continent during the 20th century, obliterating many cities by aerial bombardment, and destroying many precious artifacts” Obama said. “For this, let me express my sincere regrets on behalf of the American people.”

The President said he was shocked and appalled to learn that the US still has troops and weapons stationed in Europe. “The continued occupation of what should be sovereign nations is, indeed, a stain I will endeavor to scrub clean,” Obama promised. “We have bullied these people for far too long. It is time to make amends.”

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called Obama “my new comrade” and praised the US President’s remarks as “long overdue, but welcome, nonetheless.” “While I think Mr. Obama may have gone a bit overboard apologizing for the initial invasions of American troops, I think he is right on target regarding the continued presence of both American troops and missiles in Europe,” Medvedev observed. “We eagerly anticipate the remedying of this continuing unwelcome intrusion into European affairs.”

Why don’t we apologize to the world that he was elected?

"Reparations" to the Euro-peons for what we did to them in WWI and WWII? Sounds like a plan.

Too funny John. Really laughing at that one.

I can imagine someone not up on their history, or say not a political junkie doing a Goldie Hawn.

The stupidity of this guy is astounding.

John, may I be the first to congratulate/curse you for being the most enlightened dimbulb to brighten my dreary days; with startled wonder I watch with shielded eyes as sleep overcomes my shaded nether stays and my toothpick store dwindles with each new post with which you play.

Have you ever wondered why it is that enjoying humor sometimes hurts more than suffering silence?

Could I take the world and with it play

As with a top I would spin it gay

I’d spin it long and let it stray

And only bring it back

When it was fit to stay

Another great one, John. Obama probably will next apologize for us co-opting French soil at Normandy as a cemetery for fallen U.S. soldiers.

How dare us be so arrogant as to bury U.S. soldiers on French soil.

"Why don't we apologize to the world that he was elected"

The world owes us an apology - for funding Obamunism! It certainly wasn't citizens of the USA who funneled almost $1 billion into his campaign...

NOTE to Euro-peons: This American does not apologize for continually saving your sorry arses from yourselves.

While this of course is a joke, it's not too far from the truth.

Obama is essentially calling our role as a leader in the West arrogant, belittling what we have done, and asking for help from people that won't help us because they have no interest in doing so despite sitting in the same boat with us and reaping the benefits from our every action.

Obama’s approach shows his naivete and ideology, nothing else.

Not to mention people that don't understand satire when they see it.

You're right, I didn't check the source.

These days there isn't much difference between the truth and satire.

Don’t you usually post satire? From the clip I heard, the title, at least, is close.
