The Top 10 Apologies Barack Obama should make to the world

The first year of Barack Obama’s presidency was marked by a series of embarrassing and groveling apologies for his country on the world stage. From his apology to the French for America’s supposed “arrogance”, to his massive mea culpa before the Muslim world in Egypt, President Obama succeeded in elevating national humiliation into an art form.

In his second year, I would strongly encourage the president to stop apologising for his country, and project more pride in his great nation’s past. The United States, together with Great Britain, have done more to advance the cause of liberty and freedom on the world stage than any other nations in history. From defeating the menace of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Empire, to liberating tens of millions of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US and UK have consistently been at the forefront of the defence of the free world in the face of tyranny.

If President Obama does feel the urge to show contrition on the world stage in 2010, he should apologise not for his country but for his administration’s shoddy treatment of its allies as well as political dissidents fighting for freedom across the world. He has also shown extraordinary indifference towards the victims of Communist rule in Europe, as well as the hundreds of thousands who perished in Darfur at the hands of the Sudanese regime. While every dictatorship on earth, from Iran to Venezuela to Sudan has been earmarked for engagement by the Obama White House, some of America’s closest friends and supporters have been shunned, humiliated or left out in the cold.

So here is a list of apologies that Barack Obama should make on behalf of his own administration, for undermining America’s traditional alliances, treating America’s friends with contempt, and refusing to side with the

First and foremost, Barak Obama should apologize to the American people as he resigns from office. How arrogant must someone be who has accomplished nothing in his life on his own to think that he is qualified to be POTUS? Lord help us until we can vote this guy out of office.

Apologize to the British people for insulting the memory of the great Sir Winston Churchill by returning a bust of him to England!

Obama hates defenders of democracy perhaps?....I hate the boy socialist in our White House!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

He SHOULD apologize to America for his reckless turn hard left in trying to destroy this democracy!

During the campaign, he called himself a Jakarta street youth.

He does not see himself of this land and has never spoken very highly of it.
