Ho, on the other hand, was as clever at public image projection as 0bama is clumsy. His invocation of the Declaration was designed to get Wilson to promote Vietnamese rights with regard to France, which Wilson did not. I suspect, though, that Ho could quote it and that 0bama cannot. Interesting fellow, Ho Of The Many Names. He was one of the founders of the Communist party - not the Vietnamese one, the French one. That goes back a ways...
I will say that with respect to Ho, the sundry Middle East strong men, the socialist caudillos of South America, that 0bama has a rather wide-ranging taste in authoritarian thugs. It's probably professional courtesy.
Nothing professional about Zero. He is a wannabe suckup to every 2 bit thug on earth.
