Obama Says He Would Be ‘Honored’ to Visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki Friday, November 13, 2009

(CNSNews.com) – Visiting the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – targets of a U.S. atomic bomb attack that hastened the end of World War II – would be “meaningful,” President Obama said Friday in Tokyo.

“I certainly would be honored – it would be meaningful for me to visit those two cities in the future. I don’t have immediate travel plans, but it’s something that would be meaningful to me.”

In an interview with a Japanese network earlier this week, Obama said something similar: "The memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are etched in the minds of the world, and I would be honored to have the opportunity to visit those cities at some point during my presidency," he said on Tuesday.

Obama, at a joint press conference on Friday with the Japanese prime minister, also lauded the “distant goal” of achieving a world without nuclear weapons.

Visiting the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – targets of a U.S. atomic bomb attack that hastened the end of World War II – would be “meaningful,” President Obama said Friday in Tokyo.

Based on his "knowledge" of history, the Japanese could dump him in Kyoto, Sapporo, or Osaka, and he wouldn't know the difference.

I hope he doesn’t ask to see the “old part of town”

I wonder if he’ll stop at Pearl Harbor on the way back...oh wait, he was born in Hawaii I’m sure he’s been there before.

Don't be so sure he's ever been to Pearl Harbor. Recall that in 2008 he remember THE BOMB that was dropped on Pearl Harbor.

So CNSNews is praising Obama for a non-answer to a question. Interesting.

Get down on your knees, Obummer, beg the Japanese for forgiveness for a Democrat ordering the A-Bomb drop on these two cities.

After groveling for a hour or so, promise them reparations!

I wonder if Obama thinks Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still smoking ruins? I know a few leftist liberals that think the cities are still uninhabitable and will be for another thousand or so years.

Based on his "knowledge" of history, the Japanese could dump him in Kyoto, Sapporo, or Osaka, and he wouldn't know the difference.

Heck, they could take him to the city dump in Tokio.

"The devestation here was awful! America was very very bad!"

[a fool in paradise]

When’s he going to apologize to the South for winning the Civil War?

Those women and childen in the South DESERVED to be raped and slaughtered. < /O >

[libs_kma]

He hasn’t told anyone “AMERICA SUCKS” in at least an hour an he’s having withdrawls...

[Night Hides Not]

I wonder if Obama thinks Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still smoking ruins?

I'm sure they're much more inhabitable than Detroit...

"He’ll continue to communicate (this time in a very visible setting) that America will not use its big stick regardless of the provocation. Iran and North Korea will correctly interpret this surrender message."

Obama is the worlds biggest (rhymes with WUSSY)...but I bet he'll TALK all kinds of tough (about Isreal) when Isreal spanks Iran.

Just like the Japanese PM would be honored to visit Nanjing Bataan and Pearl Harbor?

[TigerLikesRooster]

Would he feel honored to visit the Ground Zero in NYC, The site where WTC used to be?

[silverleaf]

I also noted the “my me and I’s”- like Rush says, the hardest thing manchildfaces is tearing himself away from the mirror every morning.

[Vigilanteman]

I wonder if the peacenik faction in Japan will be happy if ObaMao profusely apologizes for Hiroshima and Nagasaki and then leaves Japan undefended from the next incoming missile from North Korea or China. That's his M.O.

If an apology for a 64 year old action is more important than defending from current threats and real enemies, then they should definitely welcome O'Bummer.

"Obama.... to Visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki...."

Too bad we can't put him in the "Way Back" machine.

Obama Says He Would Be ‘Honored’ to Visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki

You're exactly right!!! Another 0bozo apology for America's courageous action to end WWII in one fell swoop and thereby saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and likely millions of Japanese who would have died in an invasion of their country rather than 2 atomic bombs. 0bozo is a gutless, cowardly, pandering, apologetic traitor to America!!! Go back to Kenya you socialist-fascist-commie muzlim pig 0bozo!!!

If he is too extravagant about Hiroshima apologies, this will cause some unintended questions in Beijing. If the PRC thinks that Washington has somehow had war guilt put upon them, rest assured this will revisit the Japanese ten fold, pace Nanking.
