As someone said above, I think we are going to have to respectfully agree to disagree on this one.

We agree that an American president should not have to apologize for every sleight.

We disagree that this comment was a sleight.

I and many others do NOT believe he misspoke. Rather his little weasel way of underhand insult.

You are probably right.

Like it or not he is the President and when he speaks he speaks for the USA and when he apologizes he apologizes for the USA. I understand how some see this as more than a slight. I am more offended by an American president apologizing than anything he said in this case..
