Funny, I didn’t see Hirohito in that clip like Pres. Obama said he was.

I think famous aviatrix, Jackie Cochran, was able to get on board to witness this ceremony.

hundreds of B-29 Superfortresses flew overhead afterwards, and was quite an airshow of strength.

I also remember reading about how they had covered up all gun emplacements in Tokyo Bay with white sheets before the surrender. A few noted military men said that Tokyo Bay looked like one giant checkerboard, and were thankful they never had to invade Japan.

POTUS Obama knows absolutely zilch about American history other then that taught by Saul Alinsky, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayres, etc. And, War World II knowledge is zilch, zero, nothing. If you asked him who “Hap” Aronold or “Jimmy” Doolittle were, his answer would be. “Duh, cartoon characters”???? What a guy!???

I heard tha Obama got his Hirohito reference from the following Senator [Bluto Blutarski], who once famously said:

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
