Re: NYT Scrub Story - 'Top Romney Adviser: `Apology’ Statement Fit Our Narrative, So We Ran With It'

8. Here is *The Official Narrative* since 2009 for my friends at DU:

The President's Apology Tour April 23, 2009
Great leaders aren't defined by consensus.
By KARL ROVE

President Barack Obama has finished the second leg of his international confession tour. In less than 100 days, he has apologized on three continents for what he views as the sins of America and his predecessors.

Mr. Obama told the French (the French!) that America "has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward Europe. In Prague, he said America has "a moral responsibility to act" on arms control because only the U.S. had "used a nuclear weapon." In London, he said that decisions about the world financial system were no longer made by "just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy" -- as if that were a bad thing. And in Latin America, he said the U.S. had not "pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors" because we "failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas."

By confessing our nation's sins, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that Mr. Obama has "changed the image of America around the world" and made the U.S. "safer and stronger." As evidence, Mr. Gibbs pointed to the absence of protesters during the Summit of the Americas this past weekend...

There's a lot more at the link there. I've heard this stuff repeated ad nauseam since that date forward. Karl Rove is on Romney's team. And all of America knows it, so why shouldn't they keep using it?

Obama can't win with the sick logic they pull. If he treated other nations with respect and says the truths most sane people know, he's caught up in the mantras:

No backbone, no balls, soft on terror, anti-American, etc. If he does act on anything, or doesn't end the wars fast enough or keeps on sending money to that military, he's a warmongering, baby-killing, nazifascistcommie, and gonna send all the patriots to FEMA camps.

Just at the same time he'll import a boatload of jihadists from Gitmo, And since he dared to ask Islamic nations to work with him, it proves he's working for that world wide caliphate the Muslims are all supposed to want! And if he speaks against the Christian Taliban at home, he doesn't love God and Jesus like Mitt does.
