“No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president’s disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

“Bush’s approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon (22 percent and 24 percent, respectively) but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s,” Holland added. “The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 67 percent disapproval in January 1952.”

Loosen the head rag WTF, the brain cannot survive without blood. The Tea Party has not involved intself with foreign policy, why do you think it has? I said that we have two acts of war against this country. Whether or not we go to war is up to the reaction of Libya and Egypt. So far they have no reason to be too concerned with Obama do they?

"Jihadists will want the world to believe that the attack is just a part of the protests against an amateur film produced in the U.S., which includes crude insults regarding the Prophet Mohammed. They will want the world to think that their actions represent a popular Libyan and wider Muslim reaction; thus, reversing the perception of jihadists being outcasts from their own societies. Since there were similar protests in Egypt against the film, it is possible that more protests may erupt in Muslim-majority countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The jihadists may also feel that by killing U.S. citizens, they will win the support of local populations. They are wrong."

And WTF, even though you have proven yourself a coward and inept in just about everything except possibly taking a poop, I still love you and still don't wish your bed bugs make a home in your bumm.

It is not cowardly to stand up against war. I consider it cowardly to want to send others to go fight the war you seem to want. I also consider ignorant to support Romney who wants to cut taxes for the rich and not pay for these wars you want to fight and then listen to you bitch about the deficit. That Tea Nut logic has no bases in common sense.

My bumm is fine, bedbugs are in joe blows lil dick, well one bedbug, the other could not find any room down there.

I hate to inject reality or facts into this discussion but WHAT FUCKING APOLOGY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?!?!?

Here's Obama's statement:

>>>>I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.
I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe.
Follow us
While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi.
As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.<<<<

Is this the statement that you maroons say has an apology in it? I dunno, maybe there is another statement....but, this one doesn't contain an apology, at least not as I understand the definition of the word.

Show it to me.
