Obama apologizes for Koran burning.
 
Oh good, President Obama, the American apologist-in-chief, has apologized again for our debased nation. He's apologized for the accidental burning of the Koran.

Now, I imagine the Afghanistani's will apologize for killing two of our servicemen.

I doubt that they will. But this is America and we are above that. No matter what you think of the Muslim world it is their religion and we accidentally desicrated their holy writings? An apology was in order.
I often wonder how so many Americans came to the conclusion that God is our friend and ally and protector and all that stuff. Maybe he prefers Africans or Asians or Europeans. Could be. :doh:

How many American lives will be saved by this apology, or conversely, how many more lives would be lost without the apology? President Obama did not burn the Koran's, but he took responsibility for the burning.

Guest 02-23-2012 04:47 PM

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.

You should be apologizing for these asinine, pointless, bandwidth-wasting posts.

Is this all you Cons got?

Why don't you tell us how Obama leads EVERY R candidate, even Rasmussen polling has him with a comfortable lead, or tell us how the R candidates spent more time bashing Junior during last nights debate, than they did each other. Or maybe tell us how we are a few points away from a 13,000 Dow !!!!

Anyone have a link to Bush kissing the Saudi king - Democratic Underground

Just imagine the state we would all be in if any one of the right wing wannabees ever got to the White House. Their showing last night kind of solidifies Obama's re election and maybe even Senate and Congress.:wave:

Obviously the President agrees with you...http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1

""I've got another five years coming up. We're going to get this done," he continued, according to a transcript of the interview, which was conducted on Tuesday and broadcast on Univision Radio on Wednesday."

This was said to the Hispanic audience today in response to being questioned as to why he had not done enough to enact immigration reform.

Obama makes bold reelection prediction

Since you aimed your post at other Village residents, which I would prefer not to do, and I don't consider any of this an R vs D think, I will leave it at that !!!!

I have to side slightly with the conservatives on this one.

I would have LOVED to see Obama come out and verbally rake the radicals over the coals. Something like...

"While it's unfortunate that this happened, it should be pointed out that Americans had their hands burned trying to rescue these books when they realized what was happening. We show more respect for their holy book than they show for human beings every time there's an honor killing, or acid thrown in a woman's face for the crime of going to school, or a person beheaded because they don't believe the same way they do."

Bravo!! The mentality of the knee-jerk liberals is disheartening. They've forgotten what it means to be American and proud of it.

President Obama has done America no favors with his butt kissing of the Islamists. He, and in extension the U.S., will be seen as weak and pathetic. It's only going to ramp up the Islamic rhetoric and violence.

The call is going out among "the faithful" to kill foreigners over this "unforgivable outrage against Islam".

So, in view of the debate going on in this forum, IS THIS A PERSONAL ATTACK AGAINST ME???

He doesn't mention me, but he addresses me in the first sentence. How about all you "crybabies" out there. SHOULD I COMPLAIN TO THE MODERATOR???

I'm not and I won't, but I'm going to point this out whenever I can because of the hypocrisy on this forum among you libs.

I'm guessing this is the post that will be deleted, as being "off topic"

Seems to me that the muslim religion is so weak and nasty that they have to kill those that convert. So that means to me that there holy book is crap as well.

not sure
 
i am not sure if this is correct information but a lady called in to rush today and said that it is muslim law that no one can write in the koran...the only way to purify the koran which has been written in is to burn it....therefore, the authorities were burning these books because (prisoners?) had written incendiary remarks in them and remarks which could be code for dangerous behaviours....if this is true, it should have been carefully explained rather than apologized for. i don't believe in showing disrespect for anyone's religion, even though they think nothing of burning our bible! does anyone know whether this is true in islam? i will ask Dr Warner when he speaks at the tea party on monday night...we need to know more about what we are dealing with and how to protect ourselves.

Too much bowing and scraping going on. Can you picture TRs response? Anyway, that kind of work should be handled by State.
