Obama's Apology Tour Was Crafted
By Handful Of Radical Advisors

Investors Business Daily, by Paul Sperry

Original Article

Posted By:Pluperfect, 10/25/2012 5:40:13 AM

President Obama indignantly denied Mitt Romney's charge in Monday's final debate that his foreign policy amounts to "an apology tour" around the world. "This has been probably the biggest whopper that's been told during the course of this campaign," Obama protested. "And every fact-checker and every reporter who's looked at it, governor, has said this is not true." In fact, the president has followed a "doctrine of mea culpa" crafted by a handful of radical advisers who have urged him to, in so many words, apologize for America's war on terror and nuclear superiority.

Here's a cabal of "malignant narcissists" who have an agenda against America, living inside the democratic party, at the top of the inner circle of "doers" who are out to destroy this country.

They are the evil...

I hope America has learned a very dear lesson - vet, vet, vet. While it is impossible to control who the President really listens to, Congress can control who gets paid to talk to him/her if they have offices and budgets.

These are just 4 of the many radical leftists that are driving US domestic and foreign policy. The EPA's Lisa Jackson and her environmental justice claque are just as damaging, as is Eric Holder's DoJ. Hopefully, these political appointees will disappear in January. Key for Romney will be removing several thousand who have been hired as civil service, where termination is almost impossible. Mitt spoke of using attrition to reduce federal workforce, which means that Obama's 25 to 50 year old leftist freaks will be there for years.

Now that these idiots have seen the results of their naivete, I wonder if they've seen that their liberal ideology doesn't work. Personally, I wish all these people who love the communist/islamic ideologieswould just move to these countries and leave us alone!

The most telling comment mr hussein obama made in the apology tour timeframe was his response to a question about American exceptionalism.
He curled his upper lip into that sneer that people mistake as a smile, and said approximately this -
'sure, we think we are exceptional, but so does belgium...'
He really doesn't understand the concept, probably in part because of his formative years spent in indonesia, and in part from his radical mother, and his real father, frank marshall davis.

He could start with every US attorney hired in the ChoomGangsta's administration, then move to the EPA, then work his way through every federal department and agency. This will impact unemployment stats, but it'll be worth it. Let the lawsuits pile up.....

First, show me one "fact checker" or reporter who "checked" on whether or not the POTUS engaged in an "apology tour". Oh, I see. Zero? (Because it's not a "fact" that can be checked, but a pattern of tone and behavior that has been observed.) Well, then I suppose the same zero folks who checked could have called it untrue. I'm sorry Mr. President, but waving your hands and screaming "Get the transcript Candy!" does not undo four years of misery and malfeasance. History--and the American people--will check your performance, not your "facts." And your performance has been a whopper, indeed.

Regarding the post which suggests that the media has learned the importance of vetting, I have NO doubt that Obama was thoroughly vetted by all Old Media press and alphabet colluders. They had to be thoroughly organized in their joined efforts, in order to practice the group propaganda, a crime which became necessary when facts began to surface.

Old Media may be more evil than The Won and his anti-Americas czardom.

Her hands are filthy with the blood of our youthful "treasure". Criminal activities that are applauded in the Harvard faculty lounge. How far our once lauded Universities have fallen.

Mistake #1:

"Instituting a doctrine of mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors."

What sins is Samantha Powers talking about?

Mistake #2:

"The president must ask Americans to acknowledge to ourselves and to the world that we have made serious, even tragic, mistakes in the aftermath of Sept. 11 — in invading Iraq, in condoning torture and flouting international law, and in denying the very existence of global warming," Slaughter said.

Aside from all the pacifist folderol, when did denying the global warming hoax become a crime, something to apologize for?

Mistake #3:

Obama apologized for the war on terror, lamenting "it led us to act contrary to our ideals."

It did? I thought defending ourselves was one of our "ideals"?

Mistake #4:

Rashad Hussain. The White House adviser-turned Mideast envoy helped Obama kick off his apology tour in 2009 with a remorseful speech to Muslims in Cairo that he helped draft...Hussain also helped engineer the Muslim Brotherhood's rise to power in Egypt as Obama's envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a powerful bloc of 57 Muslim governments that some say is a caliphate in the making....Hussain regularly spoke to Brotherhood front groups and defended convicted terrorists.

They laughed at Glenn Beck when he talked about a "caliphate" in America. It appears he was right. Not only are they here, they're in this POTUS' Administration in places of power, easily able to influence this POTUS' Muslim-friendly worldview.

The inmates have taken over the asylum.

Don't stumble over Obama while he is bowing in front of a plethora of foreign leaders. At one point I think he mistakenly bowed in front of a palace door man. And every fact-checker and every reporter who's looked at it are only the reporters and fact checkers on MSNBC. Also, how many of Obama's henchmen are discribed as "RADICAL" in spite of their nefarious backgrounds?

Normal Americans who don't live among these sorts of anti-American, blame America First, Moral Equivalence, radicals don't realize how much sway they hold in media centers and in the Academy. But I have lived among them all my life. I know how they think. To them, an apology tour is the LEAST America could do but because this groveling of the USA is inimical to normal Americans, when the President denies he did it, they are inclined to believe him.

Okay, so we know he did do an apology tour (he even tried to apologize for ending WWII and the JAPANESE THEMSELVES told him not to--Harry Truman would punch him in the nose), we know he bows to foreign leaders and all this is supposed to convey a "new kind of diplomacy and friendship." But it doesn't. It conveys weakness. In the Cairo apology speech, Obama gave the green light to the Iran nuke program by saying America (just another nation, after all) had no right to decide which nations could or could not have nukes. Iran got the message loud and clear: this guy is a liberal wuss, he thinks our "feelings are hurt" we will go nuke ASAP

I hate to phrase it this way, but Romney was right about this. The majority of Obozo's support comes from two sources. The first is a majority of the lower socio-economic class. These are the ones that depend of government hand outs for their existence. For some reason, they have been TAUGHT that they don't have to educate themselves in order to get a job that is capable of supporting themselves. Just vote for me and I'll make sure that the govmint will take care of you.

The second source is those who have been "educated" in some of our ivory towers of higher education. While students, they were properly indoctrinated into the various socialist/communist ideas that their various professors cling to.

It's no wonder that's it's so hard to defeat a Dim. They promise the moon and it won't cost you a dime. We'll just tax "the rich" to raise all the money that will be needed. Or print some more.

Focus-group feedback aside, I really wish Romney took a sledgehammer to Obama's abysmal foreign polic record in that last debate. I was glad to see him hit Obama hard on the apology tour - only wished he'd worked the incessant bowing to other foreign heads of state in there. This President is more than embarassment to our country. He is dangerous, and had presided over the loss of American lives, prestige, interests, and security around the world. It is a strategic and moral imperative we replace this American apologist with Mitt Romney on November 6th.

Sorry GW, but the axis of evil now resides in DC.

There are photos of the bowing from the navel and recordings of his speeches, so he can't duck this one. Even his last speech at the UN was disturbing.

Should we call it bootlicking instead ?

Denver-based CNN journalist Jim Spellman says the total lack of media coverage of the legal travails faced by Fox News reporter Jana Winter for protecting her sources clearly demonstrates an anti-Fox News bias in the press. Spellman claimed in a tweet that if Winter, who faces a subpoena and potential contempt of court charges for protecting her sources, worked for the New York Times instead of Fox News, the case would be garnering far greater exposure. “Observation: If @janawinter, who may go to jail to protect sources, worked for @nytimes instead of @FoxNews the case would be huge,” Spellman tweeted Sunday night.

While politicians talk about expanding background checks for gun owners, I’m starting to think that what we really need are IQ tests for political officeholders.

Secretary of State John Kerry is worth some $200 million, give or take a yacht. So his decision to slap a 5% pay cut on himself in solidarity with government employees squeezed by sequestration won’t likely hurt him much. But he’s saving taxpayers another way, too — if unintentionally. And it’s downright troubling. How else is Kerry saving money? He’s failing to hire folks to fill key spots at his agency. Terrific. Think about it: With the North Koreans threatening nuclear strikes against America — and Kerry himself preparing to visit South Korea this week — wouldn’t it be a tad helpful

In March, the number of Americans who dropped out of the labor force increased by 663,000 which adds up to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer looking for employment. Zero Hedge reported: This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979!But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda

A restaurant where President Obama took winners of his 2012 campaign’s “Dinner with Barack” contest was forced to close this week because it was cited for failing to comply with Washington, D.C.’s health and sanitation regulations. Smith Commons, located in the H Street corridor of Washington, D.C. is a popular dining destination in Washington. According to WUSA9, Smith Commons was cited for “operating without hot water and without a staff member certified in managing food safety.” When WUSA9 asked whether the problems had been remedied, the establishment declined to answer.

Heading backward:
The miserable March jobs report

It would take superspin powers to portray the March jobs report as anything other than a huge step in the wrong direction. The US economy added just 88,000 jobs last month, 95,000 in the private sector as public payrolls fell by 7,000. The official unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a point to 7.6%. 1. That is a paltry number of jobs, more or less matching assumed labor force growth per month. So the economy must add at least that many jobs just to keep the labor market at current depressed levels.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
