Another Barack day
It's a gorgeous June day in Utah. Yet, I feel no sense of joy as the sun is shining so bright and the skies are reflecting a brilliant shade of blue, and the white and fluffy clouds are drifting innocently by. The storm is coming, and yet our faithful president continues along his merry way, adding rules, regulations, 'changes' that will affect not only our individual lives, but the lives of our children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. The change is wrought, yet we are faced with the consequences of actions taken. And still there are people in America who rejoice at the way we apologize to the world for being what we are...Americans! Formerly we were the light of the world, now (according to our esteemed president) we should be sorry for mistreating the world. Reminds me more and more of Jimmy Carter...by the time he is done we will be a weakened former superpower without the guts or courage to lead anyone, even our own people. Way to go Barack...you certainly brought about change.

America has what I like to call
"British Empire" syndrome. While we are expected to take care of everyone and everything, we like to flaunt it to the point of degrading other cultures and countries to being "lesser". It's like Sunkist calling regular orange soda less tasty simply because it doesn't have the brand name. If that makes any sense at all.
There are a lot of things right now that America does need to apologize for- like the whole killing of people thing that didn't need to be killed because of faulty intelligence. But, there again, there's a lot of credit that needs to be given.
Perhaps with the entrance of any new administration, apologies are the best way to distance themselves from the previous. George Bush did the same thing. So can Obama really be scorned for trying to make peace for what many thought his successor did wrong? If anything, it's political brilliance. Bush would proud.
Blah, Blah, Blah. Like I said before, we have done much more good than bad, and we do not need to apologize for being the leader of the world,,,well, former leader of the world, that went by the wayside when mr idiot was voted in.
