Should Obama Apologize to the World for what Bush has done?

[The Sushi Bandit]

The world opinion of the USA is in shambles, thanks to the Neocons and Bushco.

Should Obama (as the new president) Apologize to the World during his innagural address for what the Bush administration has done over the last 8 years?

1. apologize, no. reverse, yes.

2. During his nomination acceptance speech or his innagural address? Please clarify.

5. I just did ... innagural address

Thanks!

[glowing]

3. Someone should apologize for the rest of us... I'm certainly sorry I haven't done

more.. I'm dissapointed in America. This is not the same country that took on the British Empire and emerged free.

11. ya got that right,but there are many

that want it to be more like it was when we started

[grasswire]

4. he can make it right by arresting Bush, Cheney, Hadley, Rice....

....etc. etc. etc.

THAT would show the world how sorry we are. Actions speak louder than words.

[Stand and Fight]

6. No. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

He should state his intent to reverse the nefarious policies of the administration.

[grannie4peace]

7. no the world know that we've been suffering also

but it would be neat if he assured the world we won't let it happen again, if at all possible

[olkaz]

8. Absolutely not. nm

[cliffordu]

9. Other: HE should ship Bush, Rove, Cheney et al to the Hague as a way of apologizing

[TexasObserver]

10. No. Bad idea.

That would not be a good start.

He's got the next four years to apologize as the situation dictates, and for a specific purpose each time.

[Vinca]

12. No. After King George leaves I never want to hear his name again

unless it's in connection with criminal proceedings.

[izzybeans]

13. We've got apologies due going back a long way. Bush just amplified

the reasons.

[depakid]

14. How abiout simply going after McCain in no uncertain terms

and stop praising the guy in one sentence and complaining about his attacks in another?

[MadrasT]

15. Apologize? Hell, no.

Fix it? Hell, yes!

[jillan]

16. He shouldn't apologize, but he should make it very clear that there's a new guy in charge.

[FrenchieCat]

17. Obama winning in November will be seen by the world as a much bigger symbol

than words could ever say.

[Hekate]

18. Apologize, no. Pledge to be different, yes.Then go to it."The world" is predisposed to like Obama.

[totodeinhere]

19. Why should he apologize for what that asshole did? It's not Obama's fault in any way.

He has fought hard to help to reverse the shrub's policies.

[The Sushi Bandit]

20. 53% Yes, 32% No

how bout that!

[Orsino]

21. A world that won't hold BushCo accountable doesn't deserve an apology...

...even were it to come from the perps themselves.
