Sorry, I must just have mushy brains as I am not 'afraid' of Obama.....nor any other 'president' we might have had in the past or in the future....it is what it is regardless of anything that I might care about or not care about.....Somehow though, I can't see that this is 'all it is'....just a distancing from the message of the film....people from all walks of life are ridiculed daily by American people, and I don't know of any other American President (or global leader for that matter) that has ever apologized for anything of this nature? So WHY this ESPECIALLY because of all the ruckus that it has supposedly caused.....Why not speak of how incredibly immature and idiotic their response has been instead? Why not ask them to get over themselves and move on? Why all of a sudden are we all 'bowing down' before them? I think this is a valid question...regardless of who the President is....
