"President Barack Obama has offered an apology for the Bush era, declaring that America had “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” towards its allies." By Toby Harnden in Strasbourg 3:06PM BST 03 Apr 2009 "President Obama said the US had “failed to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world”. His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country’s action while standing on foreign soil." The president chose Arab television, Al Arabiya, to give his first sit-down interview. He took the opportunity to confirm the long-held Arab view that the real problem is America, and President Obama apologized on our behalf. “… America was not born as a colonial power,” he told the Arab viewing audience – implying we are now. And he regretfully confessed, “We sometimes make mistakes. We are not perfect." [URL="http://www.wnd.com/2009/01/87539/"]Obama apologizes to the world[/URL] [/QUOTE]
