OT - I think Obama handled the Hiroshima visit very well.

[VHFAN4EVER]

The only thing that I want from this deplorable, worthless POS is for him to vacate 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on 1/20/2017.

 

[nextoffensivecoord]

Maybe because he decided to go over there and do this on the eve of Memorial Day Weekend when we honor our fallen here at home, including hundreds of thousands that fell to the Japanese?

You know American POWs died in Japan, right?

 

[nextoffensivecoord]

I wasn't a W fan. Thought he was closer to a damned Lib than the Right. Having said that, the sheer hate and venom Libs spewed for W makes what Obama has faced look like a grandfather's dressing down the grandchildren. He has been given a pass by the media no matter what he's done. If

 

[tigerGUY]

Whatever YOU want to believe brother.

 

[Tiger1425]

Why are so many appalled by his behavior?

Me too. For some on here it wouldn't make any difference what he says. He's always wrong.

 

[SEHTiger]

Why are so many not appalled by his behavior?

Because nobody likes him....get the picture!

 

[Tiger1425]

Because nobody likes him....get the picture!

Then how did he get elected? Twice. And would win again if he could run.

people who hate Obama will find fault in anything he does. When Obama announced the killing of Bin Laden, I saw so many people on social media freaking out that he took all the credit and never thanked the military. I went back and watched it again and counted about 5 times he praised the military. People hear what they want to hear. (or they watch Fox News which has been proven to be truthful only about 40% if the time)

True but CNN and MSNBC, are proven to be correct only 22% of the time.

Link? And it cant be a Faux News link.

Then he should be laying wreaths at their graves this Memorial Day weekend and coming back home to do the same here, not thumbing his nose at the families of thousands killed at the hands of the Japanese during WWII.

It's the timing and its on purpose. Presidents have visited Japan numerous times. A siting president Going to Hiroshima for the first time and making a spectacle on the eve of Memorial Day weekend to acknowledge this event and bring attention to it in a way that I do not agree with is a bit much. Take your blinders off. It's not the visit, not the location, maybe not the words even. It's the timing, and it was poor.

IT'S NOT MEMORIAL DAY YET. Why must you bitch about something FOUR DAYS before Memorial Day?

Because it's Memorial Day weekend. Why do this now...as everyone is heading into The holiday weekend. Why not February, or March? Why not September? Why right now? I can't believe you are arguing these semantics. Memorial Day and the Memorial Day weekend are synonymous with one another.

You're the one bitching about semantics. Wait until Memorial Day and see if he "thumbs his nose" at American casualties before you bitch maybe?

Did you watch the wreath laying ceremony? Seems like he made if back in time to make it to the Tomb.

Every President will have Haters irregardless of what they do! Personally this President & his family has represented Our Country Extremely Well!

Strong, Strong Hatred! It appears you are not part of the 52% approval rating & rising for President Barrack Obama! We'll take that as a No!

 

[IMBlessed]

Seems he was the first sitting President to that. Not a fan of Obama by any stretch of the imagination, but he did a good job with his speech. I think the initial uproar was that his speech was going to be an apology, when it did not happen, really became a non-issue. Only the media seems to be blowing the initial uproar out of proportion.

I love what you said, but by media you mean Fox News, Rush, Shaun & the ConS on AM radio?

 

[IMBlessed]

Personally I don't have a problem with him going to Hiroshima, but it will be interesting to see if he attends the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor this December. My bet is no.

You realize President Obama is from Hawaii, has visited Pearl Harbor several times including as President? Yes, I understand you just want The President to visit this year, Why?

All media sucks. NONE of them report the news. So I group all of them the same.
