        None of that is true either.

          Of course allies loved Obama. He basically was giving away US tax dollars wherever he could. Nothing like having a rich patsy in the neighborhood.

          Oh, and he was black, which appealed to progressive allies. They gave him a Peace Prize for doing nothing more than being black - and then he ended up fomenting lots of chaos in the Middle East (some peaceful guy).

          You're creating your own reality now. Conservatives here don't believe Trump is popular internationally, so why are you claiming so? Being "popular" among allies and being feared by enemies aren't the same thing.
          The apologies thing didn't happen, and he received the Peace Prize for not being Bush, not for being black. In fact, this is the first time I've heard that suggested.

          So yeah, it seems you are a bigot, and apparently a bigot with your own reality.

          I live for unwitting irony.

              Bigoted against blacks? Race card alert.

              Repeating (yes, it's been said many times before) that Obama won his Peace Prize for being black is in no conceivable way racist. He was the first black US president - so squishy European progressives thought it was a milestone worth highlighting. Obama hadn't done anything at all worthy of a prize. Not being Bush? That's ridiculous.

              Let me know when you locate any. Playing the race card doesn't qualify. In fact, it is getting old and predictable.

                  That was a Romney lie, debunked many times.

                  Even allowing for immense hyperbole in "most of his time" apologizing, the claim is still absurd. Obama must have given 1000 or more speeches in his 8 years as President... in how many of them was the primary point an apology? My guess would be zero.

                  Of course allies loved Obama. He basically was giving away US tax dollars wherever he could.
                  Not true. He didn't cut checks to allies, and the amount the US spends on foreign aid per capita remained low under Obama.

                  I have literally never heard that idea. The explanation that was universal across international media was that it was for not being George Bush / "strengthening international diplomacy".

                      Debunked by HuffPost? Please. I lived through eight years of Obama and witnessed his foreign policy. I never said he went on an apology "tour", if that's what you're referring to.

                      Even allowing for immense hyperbole in "most of his time" apologizing, the claim is still absurd. Obama must have given 1000 or more speeches in his 8 years as President... in how many of them was the primary point an apology? My guess would be zero.
                      Of course it was hyperbole. Exaggeration for effect isn't allowed here?

                      Not true. He didn't cut checks to allies, and the amount the US spends on foreign aid per capita remained low under Obama.
                      You mean remained high? I'm not saying he's the only president who doled out US tax dollars freely, but he was proud member of the club.
                      https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...t-foreign-aid/
                      https://www.foreignassistance.gov/

                      I have literally never heard that idea. The explanation that was universal across international media was that it was for not being George Bush / "strengthening international diplomacy".
                      So the next president will get a Peace Prize for not being Trump? (who, BTW, has been much more "peaceful" than Obama). Progressives never admit what they do is race connected because of their fear of being called "racist". It terrifies them, so they believe calling others racist will terrify them into compliance or submission. Obama was the first black US president and that happened sooner than anticipated for a lot of people (I thought we'd have a female president first). But if Obama truly won his prize for being "peaceful" and not being Bush, theNobel committee would have revoked it. Because Obama supported and prompted a lot of violence all over the place; he even admitted his biggest mistake in office was the anarchy he helped create in Libya.

                      So no, his bogus prize wasn't for "not being Bush" but for being the first black US president (or, as progressives might say, "nod nod wink wink").

                          Not a single instance of saying he was sorry does not a list of apologies make. I'm not perfect. That's not an apology. That's a fact.

                          Yeah, right.
                          Sabatete is Wolof, a term of endearment from the children's song, "Doli o Doli." I've heard versions in Senegal, The Gambia, Mauritania and Mali. In Senegal, it begins like this:
                          Doli o doli
                          Doli sabatete
                          Tete ni tete
                          Tete ni ouali

                          ...

                          Wolof is a major tribal language in West Africa. Since colonization, it's incorporated enough pidgen French to wedge a conversation together and pick up a working vocabulary, with a bit of time. I took the time.

                          French, German, and Italian were in partial fulfillment for my last degree, but I can only claim fluency in French. I've summered in Europe. I spent five years working in Spanish-language media, which took me to South America fairly regularly. Still, my Spanish is passable, at best.

                          And if you're going to do much traveling in the Muslim world, you need enough Arabic to get along. They're pretty forgiving if you're trying, alhamdoulilahi, which is just as well, because my Arabic has never risen past gawdawful. Lebanon is technically part of Asia, so if you want to count that, it's five continents, but I don't, because honestly, it was in Beirut, and it wasn't safe to get out much.


                          I'm assuming you haven't left the Appalachians yet, so all these tales from foreign lands must sound like fantasy. My condolences, and sympathies.

                          Singling out someone's race to demean them is racist.

                          The race card card is used by racists thinking it provides cover for their racism.

                          It doesn't.

                            Nitpicking is a losing strategy. "But he never ACTUALLY SAID the word 'sorry' so he never he never meant it!"

                            You may assume incorrectly all you wish.

                            Singling out someone's race to demean them is racist.
                            That's all you can come up with? It doesn't even come close to answering my question.

                            Assuming there is such a thing as a "race card card", it might be defined as an attempt to force the original accuser to back up his accusation. You haven't done so.

                            Progressives/leftists like to shut people down with negative labels, because they have difficulty defending their position.

                              Okay, so you're a homophobic bigot. I'm betting you couldn't vote for a black person either. Bigotry and racism are things that need be overcome after admitting of it to yourself.
