I’m surprised. He will probably have to use all his effort to resist the urge to apologize for America again. Perhaps he won’t apologize because a Democrat (Truman) gave the order to fire.

Maybe HE won’t apologize, but he may have Michelle all done up in a tight Kimono w/ Geisha wig, practicing her Japanese Teleprompter reading (it will be easy, all done in phonetics)/

No word on whether Obama will visit Obama, a small city on Japan’s west coast.


How could the narcissist resist that?

Watch:

He’s going to announce some major draw-down in US nukes.

Just a WILD guess.

There has to be some catch to this. He has apologized to everyone else he didn’t bow to.

Like for instance, we don’t have any warheads any longer...

Sad state of affairs when it is news that an asinine act won’t be done

just guessing - Japan won’t take refugees and thus “not of the free world” or “not one of us” at the UN

Yeah, he's probably got some kind of complex about the Japanese and for that reason isn't inclined to apologize to them as he has to muslims et al.

Might have something to do with the fact that the typical Japanese works and obeys the law, if I may be allowed to generalize.

He WILL apologize for the U.S. fighting back after Pearl Harbor, though.

This would be one of the few things he did correctly.

He doesn’t like Japan. Japan does not allow Muslims to marry. They do not allow the Koran to be sold, and any use of the Arabic language. They refuse to allow Muslims to immigrate there. They refuse to allow Muslims to apply for state jobs.

Just so. I think he thinks of Japan as the Israel of the East. Definitely not his cup of tea.
