Politicians should come to this world with a big sign attached to their tongues:

WARNING:

BEFORE USING, VERIFY THAT YOUR TONGUE IS CONNECTED TO YOUR BRAIN

Unfortunately, they don't, and the man now living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, is a good candidate for winning the world record for shooting himself in the foot.

During the few weeks he has been usurping the power of the American presidency, Mr. Barry Soetoro has uttered a long litany of apologies. Actually, his apologies began early during his political campaign. I have collected some of them, but I cannot claim that the list is complete. You are encouraged to add the ones missing in this list.

Let's see:

On February 13, 2007, just a few days after entering the presidential race (pun intended) Mr. Soetoro had to apologize to the American people after implying that U.S. troops had died in vain, when he told a rally crowd in Ames, Iowa, on Sunday, "We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should never been waged, and on which we have now spent $400 billion, and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

A few days later, during an interview with the Des Moines Register, Mr. Soetoro backpedaled saying, "I was actually upset with myself when I said that, because I never use that term." Then, Mr. Soetoro expanded his explanation, "It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they'd shown."

On 06/18/07. Mr. Soetoro issued a bagful of apologies because a memo generated by his campaign staff referred to Sen. Hillary Clinton as a senator from the Indian region of Punjab and criticized her record on outsourcing.

Soetoro claimed that the memo "not only didn't reflect the complicated issue of outsourcing . . . it also didn't reflect the fact that I have long-standing support and friendships within the Indian American community." He also wrote a letter of apology that was posted on the Web site of the South Asians for Obama (aka Soetoro). "The memo's caustic tone, and its focus on contributions by Indian-Americans to the Clinton campaign, was potentially hurtful, and as such, unacceptable," he wrote.

On 05/15/08 Democratic presidential candidate Barry Soetoro apologized to a television reporter for calling her "sweetie" during a campaign stop yesterday in Michigan.

According to the story posted on the Web site of WXYZ-TV in Detroit, Soetoro was touring a Chrysler plant he had plans to nationalize once he grabbed power, when he brushed off a question from WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar, who asked the senator what would do to help autoworkers.

Instead of telling her the truth, that his plans were to fire al of them, Soetoro replied, "Hold on one second, sweetie." Later, in a voice mail left on her cell phone, Soetoro apologized for not answering her question. "Second apology," he said, "is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front."

On 06/20/08 Soetoro called Aref and Shimaa Abdelfadee, two Muslim women to apologize, one of the women said to the press.

The Muslim women had been barred from sitting behind Soetoro at his Detroit rally by volunteers concerned that they would appear on camera with him while wearing headscarves. Though the women accepted Soetoro's apology, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called for a personal apology from Soetoro to help redress the grievance and also combat growing anti-Islamic sentiment in the United States.

I n a statement to the press, CAIR's national legislative director Corey Saylor said that, "Although we welcome the Obama campaign's apology, we are extremely concerned about the level of Islamophobia in our society that would prompt other minorities to view Muslim supporters as potential liabilities."

On 07/25/08 Mr. Soetoro apologized to the Germans, some of them most likely the children and grandchildren of Nazi Gestapo and SS members, for America's evil deeds.

In a rousing speech in Berlin delivered during a campaign trip overseas to a German crowd (was he expecting to convince white Germans to vote for him?), Mr. Soetoro expressed his apologies:

"People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time. I know my country (Kenya?) has not perfected itself. (cheers and shouts of "Zig Heil") At times we struggle to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people, we've made our share of mistakes , and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions." (I hate those nasty Kenyan imperialists)

Well, well. This is getting good. But, if by this time you may think that Mr. Soetoro may have exhausted his provision of apologies, you are wrong.

Sorry, but this is going to be a veeery looong article.


On 11/07/08 President-elect Barry Soetoro fell compelled to call Nancy Reagan to apologize for joking that she held seances in the White House.

During a news conference held in Chicago, Soetoro said he had asked for advice to all the living presidents as he prepared to take office in January. Then he smiled and added, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."

One of Soetoro's spokesperson later informed the press the president-elect later called Mrs. Reagan "to apologize for the careless and offhanded remark." According to her, Soetoro "expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share, and they had a warm conversation."

(Apparently Mr. Soetoro forgot that it wasn't Nancy Reagan who had conversations with the dead, but first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. But at the time Mr. Soetoro probably was still living in Kenya and he didn't know.)

On 02/02/09 Mr. Soetoro chose Arab television, Al Arabiya, to give his first sit down interview. As I have told you several times, I don't watch TV, but someone who watched it wrote that, "He took the opportunity to confirm the long held Arab view that the real problem is America and President Obama apologized on our behalf." "...America was not born as a colonial power," he told the Arab viewing audience - implying we are now. And he regretfully confessed that "We sometimes make mistakes. We are not perfect."

Unfortunately, however, Mr. Soetoro forgot to tell his select audience that America turned into a colonial power thanks to the efforts of CFR secret agents infiltrated in the U.S. government. This is an omission difficult to explain, because he is virtually surrounded by them. (I am not going to write down all their names, because then this article would become unacceptable long. But I promise that I would do it on a forthcoming article).

On 02/04/09 Mr. Soetoro expressed multiple apologies during a series of TV interviews. It had to do with Mr. Bush's Soetoro's "stimulus package".

According to some observers (I don't watch TV, so I have to trust their story), the TV interviews showcased something they hadn't seen from a president in a while: mea culpas, an "angry," "disappointed," and deeply apologetic president, owning up to missteps that led to the withdrawn nominations of Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer.

"I take responsibility for the situation that we're in," Mr. Soetoro told ABC's Charles Gibson. "The most important thing, from my perspective, is making sure that the American people understand we don't have two sets of rules here, that everybody has responsibilities. In this situation, I take responsibility for it."

"In only his second week in office, Barack Obama is punching the restart button on his presidency," wrote Peter Wallsten in the Los Angeles Times. (I guess this one was not like the red button Hillary brought to Putin, with the word "FIRE" printed in bold, Cyrillic letters)

On 03/19/09, Mr. Soetoro appeared on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno. As I told you before, I don't watch TV. Actually, I don't even own a TV set. So I am copying a transcript of part of the interview as it appeared on the web. What you see is what you get.

This is Soetoro's exchange with Jay Leno:

LENO: Now, are they going to put a basketball -- I imagine the bowling alley has been just burned and closed down.
THE PRESIDENT: No, no. I have been practicing all -- (laughter.)
LENO: Really? Really?
THE PRESIDENT: I bowled a 129. (Laughter and applause.)
LENO: No, that's very good. Yes. That's very good, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something. (Laughter.)

Just a few hours later Mr. Soetoro apologized to the Special Olympics people for his crack on the "Tonight Show" about his bad bowling. Next day, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs issued a re-apology for further damage control, calling his boss' Special Olympics crack a "thoughtless joke." (translation into plan English: "his tongue was not connected to his brain").

On 04/10/09, some conservative media critics accused Soetoro of turning his recent trip to Europe and the Middle East, which included a meeting of the G-20 and the NATO summit, into an "apology tour."

As CNN anchor Tony Harris put it during the April 7 edition of CNN Newsroom: "Day after day, country after country, the president tried to repair America's strained relationships with key allies, but critics say his gestures of reconciliation amounted to apology after apology after apology."

In her April 10 Philadelphia Daily News column titled "The United States of Apology," Christine M. Flowers wrote of Soetoro: "You're now officially Apologizer in Chief, making sure the rest of the world has yet a few more reasons to feel smugly superior to the country you've been elected to lead."

During the April 9 edition of his Fox News program, Glenn Beck asserted that Soetoro "is apologizing to the Frenchy French for our arrogance."

During the April 7 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, radio talk show host Dom Giordano said of Soetoro: "I think he did better in Iraq. I kind of like what he did there better than at other stops, where he was on an apology tour."

During the April 7 edition of CNN Newsroom, Republican strategist and The Hill newspaper columnist Cheri Jacobus said that Soetoro has "been apologetic" and that "he was apologizing for perceived arrogance, of U.S. arrogance in Europe."

During the April 3 edition of Fox News' Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said, "We're a country who went to war six times on behalf of Muslims in the last 20 years, and we're apologizing?"

On 04/16/09, Soetoro wrote (actually, one of his CFR controllers wrote it for him) an op-ed article, "Choosing a Better Future in the Americas," that ran in 15 Caribbean, Latin American and United States newspapers, apologizing for previous U.S. misdeeds and promising the other nations of the hemisphere "a new day" in their relationship with its most powerful member.

"Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas. My Administration is committed to the promise of a new day. We will renew and sustain a broader partnership between the United States and the hemisphere on behalf of our common prosperity and our common security."

Just a few days ago, on 04/28/09, a low-flying Boeing 747 marked Air Force One, closely trailed by one or two fighter jets (there are conflicting versions), speeded very close to Manhattan's skyscrapers. As expected, the sight awakened dormant fears of a terrorist attack and caused a momentary panic that sent workers pouring out of office buildings on both sides of the Hudson River. (A. G. Sulzberger and Matthew L. Wald, "A US Jet Frightens New York In Photo Op Gone Wrong", The New York Times, April 28, 2009, p. A18. By the way, A.G. Sulzberger, 29, is the son of NYT Editor Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. The Sulzbergers, professional disinformers, have always kept close ties to the Council on Foreign Relations. Actually, they have always acted as mouthpieces for the corrupt international bankers and oil magnates who control the CFR.)

According to the official explanation (of which, between you and me, I don't believe a single word), the stunt was supposed to be a photo opportunity to showcase Air Force One alongside the sweep of New York City skyline.

Some aides to Mr. Soetoro, who was not on board, said he was incensed when he learned of the event Monday afternoon. The White House later issued a formal . . . apology.

While most New Yorkers were delivering their pants to the dry cleaners, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and other N.Y. City leaders questioned why the Federal Aviation Administration had ordered local officials, including the New York Police Department, not to alert the public in advance. An FAA (BS) memo dated last week said information about the exercise "should only be shared with persons with a need to know" and "shall not be released to the public or the media."

"Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo-op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination," Bloomberg said. "Had I known about it, I would have called them right away and asked them not to."

Beats me too!

It is evident, that every time Barry Soetoro opens his mouth, and his teleprompter is not connected to the Pratt House in Manhattan, he either emits a long chain of incoherent gaggles or makes another embarrassing goof. Then, he apologizes.

In the few months he has illegally occupied the POTUS position, Soetoro has proved to be at least as stupid as George W. Bush and as moronic as Jimmy Carter, and this is an almost unbeatable record.

Without entering in any profound Freudian analysis, it is evident that Soetoro has an inferiority complex that urges him to utter constant apologies. Also, his frequent slips of the tongue reveal some dark, hidden part of his subconscious mind. It is evident that he despises women, whites, Indians from Punjab, people with disabilities, the U.S. military, and everybody and his uncle except himself.

Now, the question is, when Mr. Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, born in Kenya, is going to apologize to the American people for illegally usurping the power of the office of the President of the United States without offering irrefutable proof that he is a natural born citizen of this country and that he properly took the oath of office according to the Constitution?

Do the American people deserve Mr. Soetoro's apology? I think so.

Moreover, when the CFR globalist conspirators who put Soetoro in power are going to apologize to the American people for their continued treachery? I think that their apology is long overdue.
