Rumsfeld Implies That Obama Apologizes for U.S.


Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld reiterated a common conservative criticism of President Obama on Sunday, implying that the president is embarrassed by the United States.

In an appearance on “State of the Union” on CNN while promoting his recently released memoir, “Known and Unknown,” Mr. Rumsfeld said that Mr. Obama has not improved the nation’s standing in the eyes of the world.

“I think he has made a practice of trying to apologize for America,” he said. “I personally am proud of America.”

Rebuking Mr. Obama for “apologizing” for the United States is an argument many conservatives, including Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh have employed, criticizing the president for what they characterize as a lack of patriotism at best and a dislike for the country at worst.

8. After what he and the Bushco goons did to America and
the world, it may take a century for the nation's standing to improve.

Go Cheney yourself Rumsfeld!

12. Why/How does CNN have this level of access to a war criminal?
The juxtaposition to interviews at A.G. and Gitmo is... well, criminal.

14. The distinction between apologizing for American and apologizing for our piss poor leaders
like Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove, Rice and Bush should definitely be made. I'm proud of the side of America that held the moral compass while those other idiots took us to war.

20. Every time I hear that "he apologizes" crap
I ask the person to give an example. And I am insistent. "When did he say that?" "What did he say, exactly?" "Show me where you read that!" "Who says?" "Where did you hear that?"

None of them has had an answer, a couple have promised to find it and bring it (they haven't). I keep waiting for some talking head on TV or radio to ask the question. Yeah, I know. But I can dream.
