Why Obama's Blame Game Must Eventually Fail
The American Thinker Blog ^ | April 21, 2009 | Lee Cary

Our President is working a list of nations he feels we’ve offended and he’s apologizing. Ultimately, that behavior will bite him back.

Significant apologies drag sea anchors called consequences.

You accidently bump into someone in an elevator and say “I’m sorry.” No consequences, unless they’re psycho.

You accidently run over your neighbor’s cat and say “I’m sorry.” There may or may not be consequences, depending on your relationship with your neighbor.

You drive drunk and cause an accident injuring others. “I’m sorry” doesn’t ease the consequences.

As President Obama apologizes across the globe, eventually some recipients of his apologies will claim retribution as a consequence of his admission of collective American guilt. It’s only a matter of time.

Retribution may be rendered secretly, and the American public will never know.

But, sooner or later, Obama will summon us to accept responsibility as taxpayers, and claim the blame he’s been accepting for us. It’s inevitable.

Correct conclusion, wrong reasoning. As high unemployment and poor business conditions persist, Obama’s domestic and international blame mongering will wear thin with the American public. By this time next year, Obama’s approval rating is likely to be in the low 40’s.

Obama is against our free speech, believing it harmful. Yet his lies and misrepresnting the US yields him a useful idiot Marxoid attitude of apologia eclipsing the denouncing of Jews in a Nazi state.

I’m waiting for the other “suicide by proxy squad” shoe to drop when zero will bow even lower and say:
“they are right we and me are Zeros and we need to be obliterated.”

His chants of denuke and nuke us will become established then in all its racial and Marxist mentaly ill retardedness self-loathing

Every time Odumbnuts apologizes for "failed policies of the past" he's blaming the U.S. Constitution. Policies, until now, have been based on the Constitution. He clearly intends to scrap the Constitution because he believes they are roadblock to policies, that in his mind, have produced something, somewhere greater than the United States.

Rmember, the next time you hear him say, "failed policies of the past" what he's really saying is "failed policies of the U. S. Constitution."

I'm not so sure of that. How many people voted for this moron or stayed at home and didn't vote at all? Too many Americans live their lives for the moment and are on the public dole at that.

I overheard part of a conversation recently where one person was praising zero because that person was going to get an extra $250 on his s.s. check - one time payment.

That kind of happy talk will wear thin with enduring high unemployment, a spurt of inflation, and foreign reverses. Obama looks strong now, but he is on the same path that Jimmy Carter trod.
