the appropriate authorities have already expressed apology for the unintended burning.

In my opinion it is Obama and those who supposedly advise him on such matters that are off base. Do they really think the person (Obama) who they are hanging in effigy, is going to make any difference what so ever? Of course not. It depicts the lack of leadership to be able to let an issue play out that has already been addressed by or for those responsible. His apology can only raise the ire of those offended...with him being so blind to think he can smooth it over.

And I did not see where he claimed responsibility which he and any other politician has not not will ever do.

He is not leading....he is back peddaling....and not knowing enough to leave well enough alone.
