Could Obama, like his wife Michelle, who only recently became proud of America, be operating under the conviction that being American is not all that noble?

Uh, yeah.

A hallmark of the progressive/socialist mentality is that the capitalist hegemon (that would be these United States) has to be relentlessly taken down a few notches and, so to speak, put in its place.

Charles Krauthammer said last week (in castigating Obama’s Apology Tour) that, as President, Barack Obama owns all of American history, good, bad & indifferent.

Barack Obama appears to want to own only that part of American history that suits his vision of taking this country down a few pegs.

The obeisance shown the Saudi king seemed genuine on Obama’s part.

The “bow-denial” on the part of the White House is alarming. To be so blatant and dishonest, they must think (in the spirit of the Big Lie) that their spin machine is pretty solid.
