Not a good week for President Obama. He's created the whole police "acted stupidly" fiasco. Now he has made another historical gaffe, this time by saying Japanese Emperor Hirohito signed the surrender of Japan to Gen Douglas MacArthur in 1945. Problem is: Hirohito didn't sign the surrender! On September 2, 1945, General Yoshijiro Umezu and Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu represented Japan in signing the Instrument of Surrender aboard the Battleship Missouri. Here's video of the surrender . . . . . Obama used the incorrect historical reference to support his statement that "victory" is not necessarily our goal in Afghanistan:
"I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur," Obama told ABC News.
This from the President who the media tells us is the smartest, most intellectual President we've ever had. . . . . (Watch Videos)

Obama can not abide the notion of a national leader being forced to renounce his divinity at the hands of the US military.
Obama also think tosilectomies are wrong. Obama thinks a lot of stupid things.
Right there in Nagasaki harbor on the deck of the Arizona.
< sarcasm >
He probably also thinks it was actually signed in Missouri....you know.....one of the 57 states.
LOL!
Everybody knows that Hirohito signed the surrender.

It is not difficult to see why Barry is so ignorant of U.S. History, he has never loved this countrya nd is now at work to sweep away the old Constitutional Republic and establish the tewisted ignorant version of what he believe Saul Alinsky would approve of and George Soros has directed.
No wonder we cannot see Barry’s university transcripts....must have had a 2.0 average! LOL!
Obama is such an asshole....
The Democrats have completely outclassed the Republicans.
Dan Quayle was a rank amateur compared to the entertainment that the Obama/Biden duo can put out.
Here's Emperor Hirohito during WWII:
Do you see him in the first photo, Bambi?
I dislike this clown as much as any person. I hope to see massive rejection of his administration. However, to pounce on every little “Gaff” might alienate many potential friends of the aforementioned position. He exhibits enough imbecility, such as promoting the massive health care fraud and at the same time admitting he had not even read it. The latter errors are far more useful to our side than is harping on the fact he thought Hirohito was the one signing the surrender.
TOTEMO BAKA!!!!!!!/Just Asking - seoul62.......
Is Kenya one of the 57 states? That would make him natural born.
Great education there. Germans bomb Pearl Harbor.

I’m sure he’s working on it.
This alleged President, Racist in Chief has got to go. He is now a proven racist as well as an traitor. If he is not interested in victory in Afghanistan, we all need to let our relatives in the service know that Obozo does NOT have their back, and that he has them fighting and dying in a war that he has no plans of winning. Impeach this imposter NOW!
Obama made fun of Bush, yet, Obama is an ignorant idiot who can’t so much as speak intelligently without someone else writing the speech and putting it on a teleprompter.
Obama is made to be a news anchor, not a President.
