Obama to apologize for the moon landing
Considering his foreign policy is so bass-ackward, it would not surprise me to learn that The One(TM) has indeed pre-recorded a conciliatory speech for any prospective alien overlords, to be broadcast at a white house ceremony.
Maybe while he is at it, he can apologize to bacteria for invention of penicillin, to influenza virus for Tamiflu, to other species that died out in the mass extinctions of previous geological times … that must have been caused by the coming of man, in liberal eco-speak, even though they predate man.
