Obama Aide Insults WWII Vets on Pearl Harbor: GET OVER IT! By George | December 6, 2016
Obama administration press secretary Josh Earnest has made a career on his snarky, hyper-partisan comments from the press room podium, but this was UNFORGIVABLE.
Addressing the corrupt media hacks about the upcoming visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Pearl Harbor, Earnest dropped a comment that any WWII veteran would take as an INSULT.
From BizPac Review:
During a White House press briefing Monday, Earnest was asked whether veterans may be offended by Abe’s visit if he expressed no regret over the attack.
Earnest responded by saying veterans may very well feel “embittered,” especially if they personally fought in World War II.
“If I were a World War II veteran who was drafted by the United States military to go and fight for our country overseas in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, I might feel quite embittered, and I think it would be a perfectly natural and understandable human reaction to not be particularly satisfied with the words of the Japanese Prime Minister,” Earnest said.
But Earnest followed up by saying those veterans should overcome those feelings for the good of the country.
“Yes, there may be some who feel personally embittered,” he said. “But I’m confident that many will set aside their own personal bitterness, not because they’re personally satisfied by the words of the Prime Minister, but because they recognize how important this moment is for the United States.”
It’s that kind of dismissive attitude toward our veterans that helps explain why Democrats have been drummed out of office by the American people in all levels of government. For this pajama boy to lecture veterans who fought and lost friends in the Pearl Harbor attack is disgusting. January 20 can’t come soon enough.
Funny how Obama felt the need to apologize and didn’t tell Japan to get over it.
Earnest is a disgusting piece of filth.
This smart-assed liberal fairy needs a good ol’ country-boy ass-whippin’. Neither this nancy-boi parakeet, nor his Black Messiah are even remotely fit to shine the boots of the lowliest private who served in WWII -— or in any other military campaign for that matter.
When will he tell embittered Democrats to “get over” the election? When will he tell embittered blacks to “get over” slavery, or tell embittered Jews to “get over” the Holocaust, or tell embittered Muslims to “get over” the Crusades? Next, this POS will be telling embittered Americans to “get over” 9/11, and “get over” the flooding our country with insurgent Islamic terrorists.
Note to black democrats....Slavery ended over 150 years ago....GET OVER IT..........
Thanks for the input, Josh.
Well, neither candyasses, Earnesto or 0bamao served, so........
“But I’m confident that many will set aside their own personal bitterness...”
I wonder if he takes the same attitude toward the Japanese recipients of Little Boy and Fat Man?
I used to like Abe, but now I resent and distrust him, for taking part in one of Obama’s humiliations of America.
So he thinks WWII vets are “bitter”. And that is because they were drafted?
Is this for re????
I don’t see anything wrong with what he said.
He certainly didn’t tell them to “get over it”
.
.
Democrats never describe themselves as embittered.
I recall George H Bush was going to invite the Japanese Prime Minister to the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. But the veteran in charge of the reunion said no. He said to the effect of “We didn’t invite them 50 years ago and we are not inviting them now.” The Prime Minister wasn’t invited.
The Bushes instincts weren’t right but they had some decency. The Obama administration has no decency.

FLASHBACK : Obama Disrespects Americans Who Died in Pearl Harbor With “Apology Tour” to Hiroshima
Politics By TruthFeedNews August 13, 2016
With his “apology tour” to Hiroshima in Japan in May, Barack Obama may have clinched the title of most un-patriotic President of all time. In an earlier article, Amy Moreno outlined how Obama recently let Japan’s prime minister scold the USA. While he did not explicitly apologize, Obama’s actions and remorseful demeanor certainly gave the appearance of contrition.

He didn't tell anyone to "GET OVER IT" - "George's" caps. I find nothing in this instance objectionable in Mr. Earnest's statement and believe Prime Minister Abe's gesture will probably be constructive.
The author might have pointed out that today Japan is a US ally in a great geopolitical struggle with China.
Agreed.
Too bad Earnesto and his dirtbag boss can't serve right now as bayonet dummies.
Their cruelty was unimaginable.
