The “Apology” Lie
President Obama has never apologized for America, but his detractors have been pushing this lie since the beginning of his presidency.
It goes back to 2009, when Obama spoke in Cairo, calling for “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.” Karl Rove responded in a Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled “The President’s Apology Tour.” Almost instantly, the right-wing blogosphere began savaging the president’s attempt at diplomacy…
Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post fact-checker explains the whole thing. Not only was there no apology when the president spoke in Paris, he chastised Europe and other parts of the world for their treatment of America:
“…in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual, but can also be insidious. Instead of recognizing the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what’s bad.”

Alan stop serving the Kool Aid!!!
Liberals are ignorant at best. And I am not a
Republican nor a big Romney supporter. But you sound
stupid. Romney said no political slams on 9-11 but FOUR
Americans getting murdered is a totally different situation!
STOP TWISTING NEWS TO FIT YOUR BIAS – PLEASE
Obama blasted Bush on Foreign Policy all the time during their
election. Double standards as usual for you people.
Take the blinders off for once and look around. You may have
money to spend still but a large majority of us do not!

he apologized to the mob that attacked the Egyptian Embassy. Hours later The Lybian Embassy was attacked and Americans were murdered senselessly. Then the apology came down. Your President is a coward, he's going to send those two destroyers simply to posture.

I have never in my life, as a former bleeding heart liberal, seen so much lying out of our White House. I became an Independent after Clinton lied under oath about Monica, in the Oval Office. His dishonesty is nothing compared to our current Administration, and all the media that covers for him. This White House should be called the 'Duck and Cover' Administration. Has everyone forgot about two weeks of "It's the video"? The paid for apology in Pakistan, on the television. And what President that gives a ____ about murdered American heroes, goes to Las Vegas on September 12, to campaign? He is counting on people believing everything he says, and not questioning it. He is counting on scaring women and minorities. Today the ‘new spin’ starts by twisting his words in the Rose Garden (that Candy just so happened to have in front of her)? AND… I still want to know who REFUSED Chris Stevens’ request for extra security, that ended up with four Americans murdered! The economy speaks for itself every time we fill up our vehicles, and as we check out at the grocery store. He can not spin out of his economic problems.
