U.S. President Barack Obama will make a historic visit to the site of the world's first atomic bombing in Hiroshima after the G-7 summit in Japan in May, U.S. sources said.
Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit the city, which was devastated by an American nuclear bomb dropped in the final days of World War II on Aug. 6, 1945.

Yes that is exactly it.
The revisionist history which liberals put forth is that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unnecessary, that these cities weren’t really military targets, Japan was on its last legs, etc.
It sure is easy to sit back in your easy chair, and with 70 years of hindsight, pontificate about the events of World War II.
Do the liberals who condemn Hiroshima ever condemn the events of Pearl Harbor which got us into the war???? Or is only America to blame for certain acts during the war???
I’m about 10 miles from the area where the Plutonium for Fat Man (Nagasaki bomb) was produced.
The Kenyan is welcome to stop by on his way home to thank some of the folks who help end the war and saved a million American lives.
“A trip to Teheran is comin’ I tell ya.”
I’m good with that as long as he stays.
“I’m good with that as long as he stays”
Oh no. It’ll be to apologize as usual...I’m sure.
And compare those pictures to current pictures of Detroit!
They will rename Air Force One the, “Obola Gay,” just for the trip.
Baraq didn’t learn American History in the muslim school in Indonesia.
Well, he used to live in Honolulu...but that doesn’t mean he ever went to Pearl, unless forced to on a school trip.
Maybe behind the scenes the White House is trying to arrange a trip to North Korea before he leave office, so he can apologize for Douglas MacArthur’s invasion in 1950.
That should have been a question at the debates. How long as president before you start apologizing to the the families of the four killed at Benghazi, Israel, England, the police, Christians, the american public etc. for Obama?
Oh, you are probably right. Dang.
Some have seen this video before, but it is very relevant to Obama’s visit.
