President Barack Obama will visit Vietnam in May when he'll be in Asia attending an international summit.

The White House says Obama told Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung he had accepted an invitation to visit the former U.S. adversary.

Obama and Dung spoke Monday on the sidelines of a U.S. summit with Southeast Asian leaders taking place in Southern California. ...

Okay now, let’s all plan on not letting him back in when his vaycay is done.

[DoughtyOne]

Let’s see, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba... he needs to cram them all in now...

What, no John Kerry as a tour guide?

The Vietnam visit will provide Obama for many more opportunities for apologies and pandering. He’ll probably visit My Lai.

Well you know he was only there long enough to right himself up for the requisite number of bogus flurple farts. However he did get a good look at Cambodia one Christmas.

For Vietnam

Kerry was only in Vietnam for four months. But I am sure he will accompany Obama to remind us he served in Vietnam.

It’s that damn TPP crap. I wish it was a vacation....less damage that way.

[Army Air Corps]

Yes, it is seared in his memory. He can tell Obama about things that are reminiscent of Genghis Khan.

Old Yellowstain would be the perfect guide. He could show them where he got his medals...the harrowing brush with the rice barrel, especially. Maybe take them to the place where he got the green beret cap...they were famous for giving away that kind of shit...when he braved the jungles when that bastard Nixon ordered him up the river....ahhhhhh, what a hero.

[digger48]

Maybe if we just turn out the lights, be real quiet and act like we’re not home he’ll go away.

Thought this would be saved for Bernie. Will Jane Fonda accompany 0?

[Army Air Corps]

Hey, that barrel of rice was a vicious, bloodthirsty foe!

[Slyfox]

He’ll be like those people who wait on your stoop because they know they heard you on the other side of the door.

[Grams A]

Maybe McCain can be his tour guide.
