Barack Obama has cancelled a meeting with the president of the Philippines after Rodrigo Duterte appeared to call him a “son of a whore”.
The move followed a warning from Duterte to the US president to keep off the subject of extrajudicial killings in his country’s brutal drug war when they were due to meet on Tuesday at a regional summit in Laos. Duterte told a press conference that Obama “must be respectful”.
The firebrand president was answering a reporter’s question about how he intended to explain the extrajudicial killings to Obama, before boarding a plane to Laos for the Association of South-east Asian Nations summit.
“You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Son of a whore, I will curse you in that forum,” Duterte was quoted by as saying by Agence-France Presse. “We will be wallowing in the mud like pigs if you do that to me.”

So I guess telling the truth is frowned upon these days.
He’s not feelin’ the love!
Just roll with it, Barack. It is the truth.
And he has the pictures to prove it.
When will we see that headline on CNN or the NYT?
What a small ego....
Still, Duterte needn’t be so impolite and could have simply called him a bastard
Obama’s excellent Asian adventure is anything but.....this is not good. The American pResident is being disrespected worldwide but he (not us) deserves the scorn.
“We need to get in their faces”....um um um and cancel the meeting!
Trump would have stood above that and met with him anyway, like he did with the president of Mexico.
There are real issues to be discussed, as adults, regardless of any schoolyard namecalling.
Acting presidential means seeing beyond personal abuse.
all wee wee’ed up
Hell, I’d like to buy Duterte a beer. Best laugh I have had all day.
Bravo!
“son of a whore” is light years more polite than what I’ve called him over the past eight years.
I hope “son of a whore” is on the description in your daily countdown ping list, Laz!
Barry is, after all, a son of a bitch....
what a wuss.
It always has been in the Democrat Party. I do not make light of the Truth and it is a fact The Democrat Party is Evil in the eyes of Truth.
Yeah, Barack... don’t get all wee-wee’d up about it.
If the son of a communist traitor knew how many millions of decent Americans call him that and worse daily, would he quit a few months early? Please?
