President Barack Obama will visit Hiroshima later this month, the White House announced Tuesday.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastated by atomic bombs the U.S. dropped on the Japanese cities in 1945 during World War II. Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima.
He is scheduled to travel to Vietnam and Japan from May 21 through May 28 on his 10th trip to Asia, where he is expected to highlight America’s commitment to increase diplomatic, economic and security engagement with Asian nations and their people. The White House said Obama will participate in his final G-7 Summit when he visits Japan.
“The President and Prime Minister Abe will meet bilaterally to further advance the U.S.-Japan alliance, including our cooperation on economic and security issues as well as a host of global challenges,” the White House said in a statement. “Finally, the President will make an historic visit to Hiroshima with Prime Minister Abe to highlight his continued commitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said late May is the appropriate time for Obama to visit the city and shrine.

Keep in mind also that those two bombs saved the lives of Tens. Of. Millions. Of. Japanese.
Amazing. It really doesn’t gain him anything. It pushes the button of those who object-distracting them. It’s like drawn out emails and IRS investigations-all planned and thought out. In return our hands are even more filled.
He’ll be on Dancing With The Stars here shortly to add to his narcissism diary of how wonderful he’s been to himself.
Mr. Obama, what we need is a dumbass free world.
He’s not just standing by and doing nothing to stop them. He is openly aiding one of the two.
Visit Tehran Obama, you jack wagon.
“the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.”
Yeah. That worked out so well for the previous 5000 years.
Jackass SOB. Never give credence to those scum. Boo hoo.
He will give a speech about how he destroyed a nation without using a nuclear device; therefore, there are other options the enemy can use.
And probably covertly aiding the second. But, what the hell, he is what a majority of voters said they wanted.
“Si vis pacem, para bellum” You insipid Marxist tool.
Hypocrite. He and old Horseface just guaranteed that the 7th century Muslim barbarians are going to have nukes.
If I became president the first thing I would do is go around the world and apologize for Obama.
Please just go to Hawaii and vacation for the rest of your term, would you????
Obama: Join hands and sing Kum-by-Yah.
Putin: Tests Satan-2 missile that can destroy an entire country.
How does enabling a Nuked-up Iran promote 0bama’s goal?
This is one of the last stops on Mr. Obama's seven year long "apology tour" for American exceptionalism.
We have barely survived as a nation, considering the frontal attack on our finances, language , culture , and borders.
He sees himself as a worldly leader ; most see him as a narcissistic "putz" !
Hundreds of thousands of lives maybe millions were lost due to japanese war atrocities
Obama won’t recognize that
Apology for Hiroshima, I have NO doubt. My family wouldn’t be here if that bomb hadn’t been dropped. Where was Obama’s creepy family in ‘45?
