When Mitt Romney<\/a> mentioned the ‘Obama Apology Tour’ during Monday night’s Presidential debate, President Obama<\/a> interrupted him saying, “This has been probably the biggest whopper that’s been told during the course of this campaign, and every fact-checker and every reporter who’s looked at it, governor, has said this is not true.”<\/p>\n

Well, Investors Business Daily<\/a> has a few comments on the tour: The article at Investors Business Daily takes a look at the advisers behind the tour and what they believe. A few examples:<\/p>\n

Samantha Power<\/a>. “U.S. foreign policy has to be rethought,” according to Obama’s national security adviser for multilateral affairs and human rights. “Instituting a doctrine of mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American<\/a> decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Power has suggested the president literally bow to foreign leaders, as atonement for Americans’ “sins” \u2014 and that’s exactly what he’s done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Anne-Marie Slaughter<\/a>. The former State Department policy chief, who last year returned to Princeton University, also has advised the president to apologize for the war on terror.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The president must ask Americans to acknowledge to ourselves and to the world that we have made serious, even tragic, mistakes in the aftermath of Sept. 11 \u2014 in invading Iraq, in condoning torture and flouting international law, and in denying the very existence of global warming,” Slaughter said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Rashad Hussain<\/a>. The White House adviser-turned Mideast envoy helped Obama kick off his apology tour in 2009 with a remorseful speech to Muslims in Cairo that he helped draft.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Hussain also helped engineer the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise to power in Egypt as Obama’s envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation<\/a>, a powerful bloc of 57 Muslim governments that some say is a caliphate in the making.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Rose Gottemoeller<\/a>. Echoing the president, the top State official thinks America is a global “bully” and that its nuclear superiority has created a global arms race.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She argues the U.S. must show humility by signing nuclear disarmament treaties and become strategically equal with Russia and China.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”She (Gottemoeller) loves to shmooze the Russians,” said national security expert Bill Gertz<\/a> \u2014 and the Chinese, who she’s invited back to the nuclear weapons labs. After Gottemoeller kicked open Los Alamos as head of the Clinton Energy Department’s national security office, Chinese espionage exploded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sounds like a great bunch.<\/p>\n
