Pamela Geller, American Thinker lede article: Romney’s Apology Tour

Mitt Romney’s recent triumphal tour of Britain, Israel and Poland struck me as a much-needed and most welcome apology tour for Barack Obama’s abject abandonment and humiliation of our most loyal and trusted allies. Finally, here is an apology tour that Americans can get behind. It was a triumph. The enemedia says otherwise, of course.

The media is furiously spinning and smearing Romney's tour de force in Europe, Israel and Eastern Europe. It has been years since I experienced that wonderful, warm feeling of pride you get while watching an American leader command respect and admiration on the world stage. Unlike Obama, whose recent trips were the stuff of international sneers, cackles and disrespect (Putin certainly made a fool of the puffed-up poser in the White House when they last met).

Check out my piece in today's American Thinker:

Romney's Apology Tour Pamela Geller, American Thinker

Mitt Romney’s recent triumphal tour of Britain, Israel and Poland struck me as a much-needed and most welcome apology tour for Barack Obama’s abject abandonment and humiliation of our most loyal and trusted allies. Finally, here is an apology tour that Americans can get behind. It was a triumph. The enemedia says otherwise, of course.

Mitt Romney began the long overdue, overwhelming task of beginning to rebuild allied relationships with long time friends that were abandoned and betrayed by a reckless, feckless subversive president.

Romney kicked off his apology tour with a much-needed repair mission to our closest European ally, Great Britain. Obama seems to have taken a certain malevolent pleasure in insulting the Brits. No sooner had he taken office did Obama return a cherished bust of Winston Churchill that sat in the Oval office. He was recently called out on it and his deceit was amusing, but the Brits are not amused. The insulting gifts to the Queen and other ugly, thoughtless acts demonstrated Obama’s contempt for the British and for our historic alliance with them.

Almost immediately upon taking office, you may recall, Obama went on the original apology tour of the Muslim world, inviting the then-banned and outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to his submission speech in Cairo on June 4, 2009. He then set out to dismantle the “special bond” the United States and Israel have shared since the re-establishment of the modern State of Israel. Obama was warmly received in Israel — it was as if a collective exhale could be heard at the Wailing Wall – but his actions almost immediately dashed Israeli hopes that he would not endanger the U.S./Israeli alliance. His contemptuous treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, a stark contrast to his warmth toward Palestinian jihad President Mahmoud Abbas, was only the most visible symbol of what has now become a three-and-a-half year campaign to undermine Israel and promote the Palestinian jihad.

Obama’s betrayals didn’t end with Israel. He also abandoned Eastern Europe when he scrapped our anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russia started war gaming, and in response, Obama brought the missile defense shield program in Eastern Europe to an end. He deserted our Eastern European allies in an “appalling appeasement of Russian aggression and a willingness to sacrifice American allies on the altar of political expediency.” He left our best friends defenseless in the face of an increasingly aggressive Vladimir Putin. And what did Obama get for this? The egg on his face was, as always, carefully scrubbed clean by an agenda-driven enemedia. Poland asked, “did America betray us? Or was it just Obama“? Romney answered that question decisively by making sure to include a stop in Poland on the last leg of his apology tour, making up for Obama’s numerous insults to Poland.

Lech Walesa, the former President of Poland, our greatest Eastern European ally, refused to take a meeting with Obama last year. He criticized Obama’s receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, pointing out correctly: “Well, there’s hasn’t been any contribution to peace yet. He’s proposing things, he’s initiating things, but he is yet to deliver.” But the Polish hero of freedom met with Romney and enthusiastically endorsed him, saying that Romney is “very observant, he gets it fast and draws conclusions….He really intends to put the U.S. in the leadership position, he’s into problem-solving, so I have great hopes that his ideas, his experiences and his intentions will allow us to live in a safer, more prosperous world.”

Great article, Pam….Romney represented our nation well and did NOT bow to anyone!! How refreshing to see a candidate with a positive and respectful attitude toward our allies. What a contrast to the narcissistic dictator who is dismantling every aspect of our society. We need a leader who BELIEVES in our greatness and our goodness and our compassion for those who value FREEDOM!

Russia started “war gaming” ?
Hello Pam …. to my knowledge the provokation came from the US.
IF there should be a project of protecting Europe from Iranian long distance missiles this project should be on Russian territory built together with the Russians to also protect their countries …….. to shoot down Iranian missiles BEFORE they cross the border to Russia ……. so that the explosion is over Iranian territory and NOT OVER RUSSIA !
Its stupid and silly Pam to try to built up an enemy in Russians … 1) they DO know the Islam danger. 2) meanwhile they are less socialsts than most of the European Countries 3) there are many wonderful souls there which can become grand friends to US citizens !!!!
So Pam get your views on Russia sorted out !
Apparently you did not checked out on this theme that you yourself strayed your taquia ….. stay to truth Pam and do not call “Russian wargames” which was “wargamed” by a US administration(s?).

Geewiz, Jerobeam, if I rememember world history correctly, Iran has
had alliances with Russia going back to the early 1800’s. Research it.
“there are many wonderful souls there which can become grand friends
to US citizens” says Jerobeam at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 1st.
Yeah, right, sucker. LOL. Keep believing their shucking and jiving.
In your ignorance, you’re what they call a useful idiot, my friend.
Unreal.

Obama, in contrast to Romney, was very well-received on his visit to the UK last year. No-one, apart from a few obsessives like you, is still talking about the Churchill bust.
