Administration Hammers U.S. on Human Rights
The Obama administration continued its apology tour last Friday when it submitted a 29-page report to the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, offering a critique of the state of human rights in the U.S. The report is part of the UN Human Rights Council’s “Universal Periodic Review” — the part of the show where nations grade their own records on human rights. Of course, the fact that such virtuous champions of human rights as China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Cuba occupy seats on the Council exposes this as a farce.
The administration laments, “We are not satisfied with a situation where the unemployment rate for African Americans is 15.8%, for Hispanics 12.4%, and for whites 8.8%.” Is anyone satisfied with that? On the other hand, the report lauds the election of our nation’s first black president; the passage of ObamaCare, which “makes great strides toward the goal that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care”; and the financial overhaul, which addresses “predatory” and “discriminatory” lending. If he does say so himself!
The report also praises its author’s intentions of closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay and ending the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. So the only things Obama finds worth lauding are the passage of leftist agenda items and the personality cult surrounding his own election. For the first time in his life, it seems, he’s actually proud to be an American. Sort of.

Yeh, He’s the one! Time for him to resign as the biggest offence to our human rights and the worst president this country has ever had.

“Apology tours” never end for them, and the Obama Administration does not seem to understand that people are tired of that mantra. and of the other one, the one continually blaming the previous administration… Pres. Obama needs to “man up” and accept it that the buck stops with him for failures of his administration — the nations deserves better..

The entire obama administration is such an utter failure that they simply can’t see anything better than to blame others for their own failures PanAm.
Like a child that always says “Not me daddy!”
