Bald-Faced Hypocrisy

"Conservatives" are always whining about something, and one of the big ones has been what they spin as Obama constantly apologizing for us overseas.  Never mind the fact that he doesn't do that, it's what "conservatives" need us to believe, so they just lie their asses off, knowing we won't check, cuz we're don't pay any attention anyway.

So I'm wondering what this might mean to their little agenda of mendaciousness - oh yeah, I forgot - it'll mean nothing because if they just ignore the facts, then the facts don't count cuz - see paragraph above.

The US House of Representatives voted unanimously in favor of N 683, which issues an official apology to the Chinese people for the series of anti-immigration bills (including The Chinese Exclusion Act) from the 1880s.

U.S. House of Representative apologize for Chinese Exclusion Act (pg A4)
Beijing Youth Daily/Beijing Qingnianbao (Daily, circ. 650,000):
Hong Lei, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that China has affirmed the U.S. House of Representatives' move. As an immigration nation, the U.S.'s development is closely connected with various ethnic people including the Chinese in the United States. The Chinese Americans should be fairly evaluated and respected. Zhao Maxim* said in past 25 years there were only 3 apology bills being passed in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Thus the apology bill this time has created history for Chinese Americans.
*Zhao Maxim = US Rep Judy Chu (D, CA-32)

It passed UNANIMOUSLY - as in no Repubs voted against it.
