Who is apologizing?

Indeed, who is apologizing, and to whom?
The news, television or Internet media, gives frequent and it seems numerous accounts of president Obama apologizing to various nations and peoples for what the president apparently feels have been the sins of America. The news accounts, particularly the more conservative news accounts, often contain firm criticisms of the president for these apologizes.
While I tend to agree with the conservative press regarding the president's apparent efforts to exorcise the sins of this country, I do think it fitting that we, and particularly we conservatives, should take stock of the fact, or at least the probably the very election of Barak Hussein Obama as president of the United States of America is itself an apology.
