Actually in a revolutionary manner, Ho Chi Minh did reference the founding fathers. It was his manner of governance that was radically different. So on this one Obama is pervertedly correct.
I remember reading about this about 15 years ago. Obama is correct, but as you say, “Obama is pervertedly correct.”
No no and NO!
This conclusion that Obama is correct is totally forced and strained. No need to go there.
Fidel Castro pretended to be what WE really are. But he was fooling people just to get in power. Would it then be true to say that Castro really was what he only pretended to be??
Same is true of Ho Chi Minh. He pretended to be what WE are, because he wanted a free hand to drive out foreign powers. He wanted our sympathy because we had to drive out the Brits.
That no more means that he was actually inspired by our Founders than Castro was what he pretended.
If Obama had said that Ho SAID he was inspired by them, but left open whether or not that was true, that would be one thing.
But he didn’t. He said that Ho WAS inspired by them.
FALSE.
The whole world can see that he wasn’t any such thing.
