Obama's Never-Ending Apology Tour
As we've seen before, Obama appears to betray a surprising lack of knowledge of American history. It seems that instead of actually having studied his own country's history, Obama has merely absorbed the ignorant, left-wing narrative that is peddled by Jeremiah Wright and others of his ilk. As a result, Obama not only confesses his country's sins overseas, he confesses wrongly.
Surely it will occur to Americans at some point that the Apology Tour is not about the United States' role in the world; this is purely about Obama. This is all driven by his monumental narcissism and his radical left-wing world view that manifested itself in his books as an innate loathing of America.
Obama's seemingly compulsive need to apologize to foreign audiences on behalf of the United States cannot be explained as a rational approach to diplomacy. As Paul suggested here, the roots of Obama's America-bashing seem to lie in a combination of ideology and psychology.
