This isn´t an apology, a denial, a retraction, an explanation or anything of the sort. It simply implies that if anyone took his "lyrics" the wrong way, he is deeply sorry. The assumption is that what he said is ambiguous and thus open to several interpretations, at least one of which is acceptable. This is nonsense, and insulting nonsense at that. Does he (actually the publicist who composed this non-anything) think we are fools? He could be right. There are plenty of Americans perfectly prepared o accept these absurd comments and eager to "move on."
"In 2004, Psy rapped on a South Korean metal band’s song, “Dear American,” at a protest concert, The Washington Post reported.
“Kill those f---ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives,” he said.
“Kill those f---ing Yankees who ordered them to torture.”
“Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers.”
“Kill them all slowly and painfully.”
"Psy and several performers were protesting the execution of a Korean missionary who had been captured by Islamists demanding that South Korea not aid the U.S. in the war.
"Two years earlier, after a pair of Korean schoolgirls were mowed down by a U.S.-operated armored vehicle, Psy again expressed vitriol toward America. Onstage, he smashed a plastic model of a U.S. tank into pieces as the crowd cheered, The Korea Herald reported. Psy apologized in a statement to the Daily News, adding that the song in question is from nearly a decade ago, and was "part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls."

This episode highlights the innate intellectual and moral depravity and deeply antisocial nature of so-called rap "music." Violence, hatred, revenge, boasting, dishonesty, lawbreaking, rebellion, pathological egotism and emotional immaturity are characteristic of this wretched genre, which naturally appeals to teenagers(not all of whom are still in their teens).
The news item doesn´t make much sense. It is hard to see how these dreadful hate-filled "lyrics" could be a rational or even an irrational response to the murder(beheading) of a South Korean missionary by Islamists. Then we are told that two S. Korean girls were "mowed down" and killed by an American military vehicle. No mention is made of the findings of the subsequent investigation, which found the American personnel not guilty of negligent homicide. Nor does the "artist" seem to remember or possibly even to know what American military personnel are doing in S.Korea to begin with. Does he think they are on vacation? But it is the barbaric summons to torture and kill as slowly and painfully as possible American military personnel and their families because of alleged torture of terror suspects that takes the cake. These are reprehensible, dishonest, misleading, hateful claims and insinuations that he has not disavowed, merely said that he should have kept to himself. He wants us to think that because he said these things 8 years ago they somehow no longer matter.
But I am glad, though not at all surprised, that Obama plans to forge ahead and attend the scheduled Christmas(!) performance. It is precisely so that Americans can see and learn more about the man they chose as their president that his re-election is a blessing in disguise.

Just imagine if PSY sang "kill those stankin´ (unacceptable term for blacks)"...
Anyone think PSY would be cut any slack?
He would be run out of the country totally destroyed is what.
So he deserves no less by wishing death upon our soldiers.

Psy has accomplished the difficult: apologising just enough to give the Dems some cover, but not so much as to end Dem desire to revel in the guilt and loathing opportunity of his performance for BO.

[Snip] “Patient confidentiality is extremely important in our field and we take it very seriously and we will review how this accident happened so we can steps to minimize the possibilities it could ever happen again.”

RUSH: This afternoon at the White House, President Obama got mad. He got mad at a reporter´s questions on Syria. [Snip] And during the Q&A, a reporter said, "Mr. President, does the United States have a core national security interest in stopping the slaughter in Syria, or merely a strong moral desire to see the violence end.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is withholding bonuses for senior officials who oversee disability claims, citing a failure to meet performance goals for reducing a sizable backlog in claims processing. The backlog has increased dramatically over the past three years, and the department has come under intense criticism from veterans groups and members of Congress who have asked President Obama to try to speed the process. [Snip] In all, records show the department paid its senior executives a total of $2.8 million in bonuses in fiscal year 2011.

AMHERST, NY - It could be the first foul up involving the state´s new gun legislation. Who´s to blame? That´s still being hashed out. [Snip] The Erie County Clerk is now blaming New York State Police for making the mistake that could have cost the 35-year-old librarian his gun collection. "Who messed this up?" [Snip] "I think that first and foremost, it stems from a flawed law that was passed so quickly without forethought."

With $6 trillion down the drain, you might think that wild, drunken spending of other people’s money that we do not have is President Obama’s single greatest talent. Turns out there is something else he is even better at. That would be the hysterical, doom-and-gloom fear mongering we have witnessed these past few weeks over comparatively small cuts to the federal government. [Snip] What is truly astonishing and breathtaking here is that all of this doom and gloom Mr. Obama has predicted is precisely what he wants for this country.

Pedometers track your physical activity, by measuring the steps you take each day. Now, they´re being used in several local schools to track the physical activity of students. Should schools require students to wear them? Several parents tell 2 On Your Side that they´re refusing to have their kids wear them and a prominent local attorney says they´re onto something.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
