The myth of the myth of apologies
By Jennifer Rubin
President Obama is right that fact-checkers routinely declare it to be a “myth” that he has apologized for America. The fact-checkers are wrong, however. The variance from reality is so great on this one that you realize how potent is the information bubble in which the president and mainstream media reside. He is out with an new ad today citing a couple of these. Obama was caught flat-footed and didn’t attempt a response.

I am hardly the first to compile lists of apologetic utterances from Obama. These include an apology in front of the Turkish Parliament: “Another issue that confronts all democracies as they move to the future is how we deal with the past. The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history.” And don’t forget the apology to all of Europe, delivered in France:

You're missing the point. I'm not criticizing the surrogates for spinning it, I'm saying that it's proof that he didn't win last night, or even come close to Obama for that matter.

Obama's problem, to a certain extent, is that the press has viewed Romney's move to the middle as tactically smart not a question of core

I did a terrible job of trying to be snarky.

I suspect the vast majority of undecideds didn't know jack about Willard's positions prior to the first debate, so they've taken everything since then at face value.

i saw an ad today on china. a chinese man was speaking to chinese students in chinese. the whole ad was subtitled. it was supposed to be from the future and china was laughing at the history lesson on the USA being given because china was the world power.

sigh, this makes me sad

The answer is that the base knows that he is currently saying whatever people want to hear in order to get their vote.
