Now Obama is taking credit for the passing of time: Koran Apology to Afghans 'Calmed Things Down'

No shame! What another load for Romney to shovel.

President Obama: Koran Apology to Afghans 'Calmed Things Down' - ABC News
Feb. 29, 2012
Obama said his formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Korans by U.S. troops last week has "calmed things down" after the incident sparked an outbreak of violence across the country.
Obama said his letter to Karzai aimed to curb further danger to U.S. troops on the ground. It reportedly expressed regret for the apparently inadvertent burning of the Korans, the sacred text of Islam, on a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.Still, the president's critics and some members of the military have questioned the appropriateness of the move, given the subsequent murder of two U.S. military officers at the hands of an Afghan inside one of the capital's secure ministry buildings.
