Obama and Clinton’s $70,000 Apology to Muslims on Pakistani Television, Public Service Announcement

Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton’s $70,000 apology to Muslims on Pakistani television as a public service announcement.  That is the to cost American taxpayers, $70,000 for the ad  that aired on seven different Pakistani television stations by the US Embassy in Islamabad. The ad is in English but subtitled in Urdu, the main Pakistani language. This leads the US government in distancing themselves from the anti-Islam video Innocence of Muslims and the right of free speech in America.

Victoria Nuland, US State Department spokesperson stated at a new briefing,

In order to ensure we reached the largest number of Pakistanis, some 90 million as I understand it in this case with these spots, it was the judgment that this was the best way to do it.”

I think the sense was that this particular aspect of the president and the secretary’s message needed to be heard by more Pakistanis than had heard it, and that this was an effective way to get that message across.”

Obama’s Appearance on Late Show With David Letterman

Obama’s appearance on Late Show With David Letterman.  What a talking head. Obama made sure he took jabs at Mitt Romney.

Obama commented,

There are not a lot of people out there who think they’re victims. There are not a lot of people who think they’re entitled to something.”

Also Obama stated,

One thing I’ve learned as president is that you represent the entire country, My expectation is if you want to be president, you’ve got to work for everybody, not just for some. When you run for president, you are under a microscope all the time. All of us make mistakes. That incident in 2008, I immediately said, I regret this. What I think people want to make sure of is you’re not writing off a big chunk of the country.”

On the terrorism in Libya and Muslims Obama remarked,

The message we have to send, I think, to the Muslim world is, we expect you to work with us to keep our people safe. And as offensive as this video was , and obviously, we denounced it, and the united states government had nothing to do with it, that’s never an excuse for violence. And in this part of the region, as they emerge, into a new form of government, part of what they’re going to have to do is to recognize that democracy is not just casting a ballot, it’s respecting freedom of speech and tolerating people with different points of view, and it means that you’ve got to make sure that you never have any excuses for the kind of violence against innocents we saw last week, and that’s a message that I’ve sent very clearly to the leaders of various countries, and we expect their full cooperation, because that’s the only way the international order works.”

Posted in News by Donna, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2012| 2 Comments »

“I’m saving a seat for you,” an invitation from Barack Obama. Another email in my inbox today. Please donate to my campaign and have a chance to have dinner with me. Obama is including the airfare and lodging. The donation is up from $3 to $5 or whatever.  Can this man give it a rest for one day?

Friend —

I’m only going to get to sit down to dinner with grassroots supporters on this campaign one last time.

It’s one of the most meaningful things we do, and represents exactly the kind of politics we believe in: All of us, at one table, together.

So if you’re someone who is helping to build this campaign, I want to meet you. I want to thank you in person. And I’d love to hear what’s on your mind.

If you haven’t participated in one of these before, now’s the time because this is our last opportunity to sit down together before the end of the campaign — I hope you’ll take me up on it.

Your donation of $5 or whatever you’re able to chip in will automatically enter you:

https://donate.barackobama.com/Dinner

Thanks.

Barack

P.S. — Flight and hotel are on us. All you have to do is come and eat.
