Me: What apology? What is this about?
Original Poster: Obama did.......who else, he is so apologetic to be an "American" (as if he even really is).......
Me: Obama apologized? What exactly did he say? Post the quote.
Original Poster: Muslims Attack US Embassy, Burn American Flag on 9/11, While Team Obama Apologizes?....Go to Fox News and look up this headline......
Another Poster: brainwashed...
Me: I looked up the headline. There is no apology. The statement from the embassy is there and it is this: "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others" That is not an apology. No where in it does anyone apologize. An embassy about to be attacked put out a statement that attempted to bring calm to a very volatile situation. It was not an apology. Nor was it produced by the White House. And the statement from the embassy in Cairo was released some 10 hours before another mob attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
Me: Secondly, the other claim in the original post is also false. Libya was not quiet after Reagan bombed their leader's house in 1986. In December, 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed killing 270 people and Gaddafi admitted Libya's responsibility. In addition, there were 8 other terrorist attacks killing Americans during the Reagan Administration on American embassies and barracks abroad. During the George W. Bush Administration there were 11 terrorist attacks abroad killing Americans. While Obama has been President until this horrible incident, not a single American has been killed in terrorist attacks abroad except for those who lost their lives in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These are just facts.

I pretended to be dumb, ignored her hint at birtherism, attempted to get her to post the quote (they never do), got her to admit she got the lie from Fox, and then gave her the facts.
If she responds again, I will address the fact that Fox lies and there is no logic to believing Obama is not an American.
