What gives this guy the right to apologize on behalf of the whole country? I don't know why he feels so apologetic and I don't know if his constituents in Illinois feel they have anything to be sorry for, but I know I don't feel I have anything to be remorseful for and I'm sure most Americans don't either. It is offensive to hear these words spoken on behalf of this country.

He can take his apology and shove it up his ass. He just became an honorary member the Michelle Obmummers Ashamed of America club.

What a rare moment of introspection and contrition by an elected politician. The apology he made was for "discrimination" when it should have been an apology for mass murder in Iraq and torture at Guantanamo.

Either way, how refreshing to hear this.

Illinois is quickly becoming a loony liberal Midwest version of California.

Maybe the voters of Illinois owe us an apology.

Just in the Chicago area, for the most part, I believe. I'm sure the rest of Illinois is sane like Iowa and Missouri

Is there another politician who spent the better part of his first year in office apologizing to Arabs all over the world who is from Illinois? Surely you know who I am talking about. He got where he is because of the stupidity of the people of this nation and should have never made it.

Why didn't somebody say something about the other Illinois politician who has spent so much time apologizing to Muslims? Why did I have to do it? Oh well they can't report me for not saying his name, can they?
