Now when Obama did this it was called by the rw an "apology tour". Prepare to be overwhelmed by "How presidential!". Don't worry however, more scandal shoes to drop shortly...

(16,817 posts)The bar was so low for this moron that as long as he kept to script, he would be lauded as "presidential". It's sickening. The right has succeeded in convincing a large swath of this country that intelligence, empathy, insightfulness, and a curious mind are things to be not only distrusted but loathed. We're not too far from Idiocracy.

Of course the Saudi's have a few more years of practicing humiliation. Not a whole lot more since they were recently just another group of bedouins.

Next up, the next 'uglican president down on his knees kissing up.....

(6,427 posts)About how "he officially became President" with this speech. Any one of them that regurgitates such bs for what the fourth time, needs to find another line of work. The fact is it was a despot praising another despot and outlining his vision of despotism. By his wretched deeds you know him. That's ok though it didn't save Nixon who at least comprehended what he was saying and it won't save his treasonous ass from being held accountable for his highest crimes he has committed against America.
