I am one of those who is adamantly against the POTUS giving an “apology” for anything. It irks me to no end when President Obama caves in to the pressure of GOP radicals and then gets kicked in the face by those same people for caving in. The president is in a no-win situation when it comes to cow-towing to those folks. The issues involved should be fixed and that’s it. Just sayin’…

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said Thursday that President Barack Obama was right to apologize that some people are seeing their health coverage canceled as a result of the Affordable Care Act, but he shouldn’t stop there.
Boehner said in a statement that the “very least” Obama can do is support legislation that would allow “allow anyone with a health care plan they like to keep it.”
“An apology is certainly in order, but what Americans want to hear is that the president is going to keep his promise,” Boehner said in a statement. “That’s why the House will vote next week to allow anyone with a health care plan they like to keep it. If the president is sincerely sorry that he misled the American people, the very least he can do is support this bipartisan effort. Otherwise, this apology doesn’t amount to anything.”
