Our President thinks it necessary to apologize- repeatedly- for what he deems American past mistakes. While we have made many mistakes in the past, just think of Jimmy Carter to start, it may be helpful to remember the great things America has done.
Remember what we did for the world in the 20th Century. Two wars started by the Euros pulled us from years of isolation. Many Americans gave their all to free Euros from the evils of fascism and its twin, communism. America spent billions if not trillions rebuilding Europe and Japan after those two wars. American ideas, inventions, investments, and foreign aid brought many areas of the world into the 20th century.
Yet the American Left sees only the comparative few mistakes as worthy of discussion. And make no mistake here, President Obama is an American Lefty.
Since when is the liberation of 50 million people viewed as a mistake? What is wrong with freeing people to make their own political and economic choices? Why is democracy viewed as a mistake by the American Left?
So instead of profusely apologizing for what HE thinks were mistakes, Obama should be issuing an Apologia for American Exceptionalism.
Do not hold your breath in anticipation of this.
