If Obama had dared to question the innocence of the righteous US of A...

How far along would the GOP now be with impeachment proceedings?

1. Radical righties would steal nukes and hold the country hostage if Obama said what Trump said

Obama's 'apology' complex

The contention that President Obama apologized to other nations for American behavior has been mentioned repeatedly by his critics, including Mitt Romney.

During his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in August, Romney said, "I will begin my presidency with the jobs tour. President Obama began his with an apology tour. America, he said, had dictated to other nations. No, Mr. President America has freed other nations from dictators."

At last week's debate that "President Obama's policies throughout the Middle East began with an apology tour."
Romney made the claim again during the Monday night debate.

"The president began what I have called an apology tour, of going to various nations in the Middle East and criticizing America."

11. That's a great comparison

Obama: Speaks with humility about America's role in the world
RW: HE'S UNDERMINING AMERICA'S ROLE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!1!

Trump: "You think our country's so innocent?"
RW: (crickets)

4. I got to read a lot of rove generated e-mails and articles from right wingers

about exactly that kind of thing, starting in '09. I remember when Michelle said she was proud of our country, and they spun the statement to 'how dare she say she wasn't proud of the US before?'

They're the fake grievance industry, really good at inventing fake things that they're outraged about, then really good at telling us how upset they are, very good at demanding that normal Americans listen to their fake gripes and whines. Cause they have rights!

5. That said America is not innocent

-not by a stretch.

[Orrex]

7. True of course, but...

Trump has know awareness nor standing to make that claim with any authority, and he's only saying it out of subservience to his master.

10. Ok but please don't equate us with skank Russia.

[yurbud]

6. Impeachment? What happened to MLK when he made a similar if more detailed statement?

If a president who might act on that statement did the same, those who profit from our foreign policy would act on a much shorter timeline.

[Orrex]

8. I didn't want to consider that, but... (nt)

9. although since the '60's, they've gotten pretty far with less lethal methods like ridicule

and news blackouts.

But a president is so high visibility, those might not be up to the task.

12. You don't have to be a CIA or FBI agent or privy to any classified material to see exactly

what that the hell is going on around here with Trashbag and Pooty.

Like Dylan said "Something is happening and I don't know what it is, but you do Trashpot Trump"...
