Obama: My Apology For Koran Burning “Calmed Things Down”…
It did?
(ABC News) — President Obama said his formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Korans by U.S. troops last week has “calmed things down” after the incident sparked an outbreak of violence across the country.
“We’re not out of the woods yet,” Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Bob Woodruff at the White House. “But my criteria in any decision I make, getting recommendations from folks who are actually on the ground, is what is going to best protect our folks and make sure that they can accomplish their mission.”
The president’s comments came just hours before a formal White House dinner to honor Iraq War veterans, some of whom have also served in Afghanistan and may be redeploying there to assist ongoing U.S. military operations. Woodruff was the only journalist invited to attend the dinner.
Obama said his letter to Karzai aimed to curb further danger to U.S. troops on the ground. It reportedly expressed regret for the apparently inadvertent burning of the Korans, the sacred text of Islam, on a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
Still, the president’s critics and some members of the military have questioned the appropriateness of the move, given the subsequent murder of two U.S. military officers at the hands of an Afghan inside one of the capital’s secure ministry buildings.

If I hear that motherfucker say “folks” again, I will projectile vomit.
The most ignornant PO$ scumbag ever.
the same one 3 years ago said this: (yea he really cares about troops)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrW4fOGIMVY
also, stop calling people “folks”!!
their “OUR” people! not folks! who the hell does he think he’s speaking to, some church congregation??
He and Holder are obviously on that same cool vibe thing that lies are only lies if the lying liar saying them thinks they are lies. But that works only if you’re in this Administration, obviously.
Um, sorry to break it to you, BoBo, but our dead beg to differ.
Wow. Really. Just Wow.
woz, I thought I was the only one vomiting! LOL
His islamic logic is kicking in. Justify doing bad by pointing out how worse off the world would be if he hadn’t
Re: “Folks”
“During the years of the Third Reich, the term Volk became heavily used in nationalistic political slogans . . .”

I I I me me me ….. What I did….. Fuck you barry. You narcissistic bastard.
PUHLEEEEEEZZZZEEEEE! Every freakin word out of this SCOAMF’s mouth is a lie. Why would anyone think, in a million freakin years, that THIS would be something that speaks truth? REALLY!?
Oh, and agree with the “folks” krap. Guess he thinks it brings him closer to the unwashed masses when he refers to people as “folks”. moron
That idiotic comment will probably set em off again. Dumbass.
He lies to himself morning to night – true muslim
Projectile vomiting related to Obama sounds reasonable .
If Obama wants to get technical his apology acknowledged the muslim claim of hurt feelings and validated their violent response ,thereby vidicating their horrible acts against American citizens .
He increased the threat and danger to our military.
Cost FOUR AMERICAN LIVES but at least that Kenyan bastard can feel good about himself. What an unimaginable piece of shit.
“FOLKS” ……how annoying and disrespectful to the “Folks” on the ground. This guy needs to go as soon as possible! What a pathetic joke of a Pres.
@crudcutter, don’t forget those injured over the weekend as well. So glad I am not serving under this America hating muzzie lover. I disliked my chain of command enough without this asshat at the top of it.
@woz,
I can’t take that ‘folks’ b.s. either.
His stupid effort at colloquialism to fck with the seriousness of the situation is so juvenile yet so manipulative and ingratiating. He’s one of us, yeah sure.
talked to ‘folks’ on the ground to try to protect ‘folks’.
squatch is big on ‘folks’ talk too.
We’re all in this together. puke
Obummer is such a puss
1. It’s AMERICA not AMRICA!
2. If you are going to burn our flag, 12 stripes and about 9 stars just doesn’t get it. (We at least used real korans, qurans, kurans, or however they spell it when we burn the word above Amrica in the sign above the flag burners head.
And no his groveling apologies served to inflame the savages.
The muzz folks were inspired by his weakness.
The last time I ever apologized to anyone was to a drug dealer, and a hooker wound up stealing my wallet.
Sounds like the same thing here.
Words fail me. I’m truly ashamed of this man.
The man is totally delusional.
His handlers are feeding him lies.
I bet he thinks he lowered the oceans too.
Douche is defined in a number of ways, this is one.
It really is outrageous.! I’m not American (my wife and children are), but the total disdain for the US troops on the ground is absolutely unbelievable. Maybe I’m totally out of context, but as “Commander in Chief”, should you really refer to the people you are sending into combat as simply “Folks”?
New Slogan. “Army Strong. We’re just folks! Kind of like the people on the Waltons or Different Strokes.”

======================================
calm things down. Yippee. Get Iran going.
—–wait a minute, where were we….?
Man, for an Ivy League grad,this is one stupid son of bitch.
He’s stupid if he believes this crap
He’s stupid if he thinks we believe this crap.
Or maybe hitting the crack pipe is the excuse.
I take offence when this asshole says “folks”. It’s an insult to people other than himself and his elites. When he says “folks”, he means “you peasants”.
“It reportedly expressed regret for the apparently inadvertent burning of the Korans, the sacred text of Islam,”
Geeesh! This bugs me as much as the word “folks”. Why does ABC continue to kiss muzz-azz by referring to the koran as “sacred text of Islam”? Have they ever referred to the Bible as the sacred text of Christians?
Isn’t it convenient that Obama always uses an (un)provable (either way) premise to justify his actions.
“The economy would have been worse had we not provided our stimulous package.”
“Things would have been worse in Afghanistan had I not apologized.”
I want to see the 3 page letter he gave to Karzai…
His letter calmed the rampaging crowds, huh? I’m surprised he doesn’t take credit for the sun rising every day.
There are some who realize, that to a Muslim, any sign of weakness or compromise in an invitation for aggression. This, I believe, can be historically proved. Therefore, a pretty darn good case could be made to demonstrate that Barry’s apology only made the situation worse.
He should have told Karzai that the U.S. would deny any burnings of the Koran and that if Karzai chose to announce to the Afghans that any such incident took place, he would do so without the further protection of the U.S. military.
That any such statement would bring an end to ALL U.S. presence or money in Afghanistan.
Obama’s f’n pathological liar.

He isn’t the reason the sun comes up every day?
I think the thing that makes me the most irate is this pathetic excuse for a man believes he has a right to be in the same room with real men and actually make eye contact.
“He isn’t the reason the sun comes up every day?”
Don’t confuse the sun with Reggie Love.
The MSM shredded Pres. Bush for using the word ‘folks’ ONE TIME. They said it was too casual and un-Presidential.
Obama never uses any other word EXCEPT ‘folks.’
*Crickets*
I thought Reggie was on the outs…..
Of course, the end of the letter of apology to Karzai goes something like this…
“As you may know, I won the Nobel Peace Prize. Therefore I know something about peace and apologies. Please enjoy the signed picture of me and the iPod pre-loaded with all my famous peace speeches.”
“I…”
the illegal alien muslim/communist treasonous fraud opens his cake hole again.I think there are some people that are going to want to ask you alot of questions here pretty soon. Any one know where the little freak is? Sheriff Joe wants you. Sheriff Arapio speaks at 12:00 noon tomarrow on what his “Cold Possee” has found out about “Nigel” or whatever his name is. ought to be good.
Obama: a muslim’s best friend…In a drawer in the nighttable by his bed is the “sacred text” which he reads every night while Moochelle fist bumps him. I used to think Carter was the most pansy ass president, but since this douche took office, I can see I was wrong. The DemocRATs are trying to turn us into a Nanny country and having us cowtow to the Oh so Sensitive muslim asswipes.
Time for a National Koran Burning Festival..Post all the videos on YouTube.
@stratus: I had to quash the fervency of your suggestion, but if the Tea Party/Repubs held such a fine festivity than you know the OWSer’s would show up with the USA flag burning.
Than MSM would have fits like KSM and we’d have to change our identities or something.
..meant to say I hate to quash…not had….
I swear, every time this asshole makes a speech, he has a happy dance going on in his pants, and every time i hear it, my ass hurts.
I have never seen a bigger pathelogical liar in 55 years.

“HE” can also turn one fish into many, look at what “I” have done,
no one else can do a better job, only “I” can do it.”ME” “ME” “ME” “ME”
If he pats himself on the back anymore, he`s gonna have arms like Popeye
All hail Uncle Hobama,
And were still buying their damn oil to appease those greenpeace and sierra club wacktards
“Obama Admits He Is a Muslim”
Some rumors never die.
Many people still think FDR knew the Japanese were about to attack Pearl Harbor in 1941 and did nothing to forestall the onslaught in order to get an excuse to enter World War II on the side England.
Many people still think Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone in the assassination of JFK in 1963 anymore than they think Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald in a Dallas police station without some assistance.
Many people still think the World Trade Center towers couldn’t have collapsed in 2001 solely because two fuel-laden airliners crashed into them.
And, many people still believe President Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim despite his oft-repeated contentions he is not.
We may never learn the full truth about FDR or JFK or the WTC and, if Obama and the mainstream media have their way, we may never learn whether the president is an adherent to the Islamic faith even though there is far more substance to that rumor than to previous conspiracies.
Much of that evidence is in the public domain but rarely has it been collected in a single source, a 10-minute video produced and directed by FeeltheChangeMedia.com titled “Obama Admits He Is a Muslim.” Reportedly, Sean Hannity has wanted to play it on air but has been pressured by the Obama administration into not doing so.
A collection of numerous clips from the last four years, the video features the president’s own words which, . . .

Never trust a man with corpse-man lips.
Meanwhile,back at the war zone,two more of our finest have been killed! POS Obummer.
“I calmed things down.”
What is that, idiot soetero’s version of:
“Peace in our time”?
@Katherine:
“There are some who realize, that to a Muslim, any sign of weakness or compromise in an invitation for aggression.”
Exactly right- just like Sammy Laden said about the strong horse and the weak horse. Sad to say, we’ve got a lame and retarded horse currently.
He will never pass up an opportunity to publically acknowledge Islam, whether through praise, fake “achievements”, or like this assinine apology.
Funny though, I havent heard anyone make the distinction this time between “radical” and “moderate” Muslims.
Could it be that even the moderates are out rioting this time?
That sort of shoots down the whole concept of “good Muslims”.
>>>That idiotic comment will probably set em off again. Dumbass.

no doubt that is his intention. growing up as a muzzie, he knows apologies are considered weak. this gets more of us “folks ” killed.
his intention from the get-go i’m sure.
I wish, I wish for a military coup. when will our guys realize this entire admin and most of the armed forces are the enemy?
Someone please buy Obama a thesaurus. Or a new speech writer who knows some other word besides “folks”. It’s making me crazy!
p.s. I meant most of the armed forces mucky mucks who are setting unwinable ROE and bowing and apologizing muzzie ass. not troops just following orders.
I’m guessing the families of the two NATO soldiers killed yesterday wouldn’t agree.
http://news.yahoo.com/two-nato-soldiers-killed-afghan-soldier-civilian-090037601.html
Why is it, that the whole world is scared of the muzz?
It really is time for the civilized world to stand up and destroy the virus known as Islam.
Fort Hood 2.0 coming up.
And the Military is providing the source of indoctrination.
“And the Military is providing the source of indoctrination.”
As I’ve mentioned in all too many other threads, I have a distinct fear that our military is becoming a 5th column.
Just another straw on the back of our disappointment of you camel.
