While Vice President Biden often puts his foot in his mouth accidentally, President Obama’s comments about America more often than not come in the form of sins, regrets and apologies and are delivered with intent.

His latest came at a news conference closing his “Nuclear Security Summit,” where he made the unfortunate statement that, “Whether we like it or not, we (United States) remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, we get pulled into it.”

Sen. John McCain called the comment, “One of the more incredible statements a president of the United States has made.”

This comes on the heals of announcing a new Nuclear policy where Obama said “the United States will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states that are party to the nuclear nonproliferation obligations.”

Pushing back from the Bush era policy he said we wouldn’t use nuclear arms, but we would launch “a devastating conventional military response” if attacked.

It is no secret that he has apologized for everything else American, it shouldn’t be surprising he is apologizing for America being a ‘dominant military superpower.’

This comment falls in line behind Obama’s drive to reduce America’s Nuclear Arsenal and supports the rationale to not want to move forward with the development of new weapons systems in the future.

The negative tone Obama sets for America is also carried out by his disciples.  Last Friday his Science ‘Czar’ Dr. John P. Holdren told science students that the US can’t expect to be number one in science and technology forever.

“We can’t expect to be number one in everything indefinitely, Holdren said at the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

He explained his position with words such as, “Other countries getting better increases their capabilities to improve their economies and, as a result, ultimately to make the world a better and safer place.”

“Probably the most appropriate responses to this degree of levelization of the playing field is to cooperate, to exchange more,” he said.

Another form of Obama redistribution?  Or, moving toward a world order?

Mark Tapscott, Editorial Page Editor of The Washington Examiner pulled together the following top 10 Obama apologies made around the world:

1. Apology to France and Europe: “instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been  times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
2. Apology to the Muslim World: “We sometimes make mistakes.  We have not been perfiect.”
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms . . .  So I’m here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration.  The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.”
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: “I woud like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we’ve made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.”
5. Apology for the War on Terror: “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions . . .  In other words, we went off course.”
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: “I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values.  And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament: “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history . . . Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”
8. Apology for US Policy toward the Americas: “Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors.  We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: “So don’t be discouraged by what’s  happened in the last few weeks.  Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowedge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”
10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington: “There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world . . . Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security.  It is a rallying cry for our enemies.

I rest my case on the contention that Obama sets a negative tone for America.
