Now here is what a real Presidential apology looks like*

Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama never "went around the world and apologized" nor did he apologize in any way regarding the recent situation in Libya.

However, President Ronald Reagan apologized. He apologized for selling weapons to Iran. And unlike the fantastical Obama apologies that never happened--right here is a colossal apology that did happen and Republicans fully ignore.

In the spirit of unearthing Presidential apologizing and bringing such behavior to light--here is video of St. Ronnie admitting that not only did he sell weapons to Iran, but also that he lied to the American people about doing so.

Video:


Quote from video:

"A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that is true. But the facts of the evidence tell me it is not."

Now THAT, my friends, is what a real Presidential apology looks and sounds like.

(*I must credit my husband for making this astute connection.)

...apologized to the terrorists in Libya. That's the lie they're all spreading. It's all over the place. I stated that Obama never apologized for Libya--because he damn well never did.

That's the point. Ronnie clearly apologized. Here is video.

Obama never apologized even though the Republicans said over and over and over that Obama did. They claimed that "Obama went around the world and apologized" when he was first elected President. They are now suggesting that Obama apologized and sympathized with the terrorists in Libya. That's a lie too.

a f*cked up apology. However NO president has to apologize for movies made by anyone other than a government agency or department. This is not a fascist society much to dismay of too many others. And if i can do anything about it that will never happen.

...and you're right--he never should apologize. The central issue is that the Republicans
are saying that Obama apologized to terrorists, when he never did.

They're liars.
