WILL HE APOLOGIZE THIS TIME?

President Obama spent an inordinate amount of time last year apologizing to the world for the United States. He apologized here and he apologized there. He apologized during every foreign trip. He apologized for imaginary or perceived infractions. He definitely ran this practice into the ground and broke it off.

Several months ago, the Dalai Lama was scheduled to visit the White House. This man is an internationally known and respected religious leader. Strictly for political reasons, (negotiations with China) the Dalai Lama's visit was postponed. This action alone was a severe violation of protocol.

At this moment, a photo of this international leader leaving the White House by a side door amidst piles of garbage is winging its way around the globe. What a disgrace. Now that the president has put this country into a position where an apology is warranted, we wonder how long we'll have to wait for that statement.
